Percentage share of government and industrial sector in GERD
Competitive Rivalry
Competitive rivalry is low; however, there is indirect competition between
contract scientific research centres due to development needs of their
clients that operate in the same market and are in direct competition with
each other
Many foreign companies tend to set up their in-house research centres
that may operate in competition with contract R&D centres
Threat of New Entrants Substitute Products
Bargaining Power of Suppliers Bargaining Power of Customers
The threat of new entrants is low
because of the capital intensive
nature of the business
Contract or academic research
centres do not have any direct
influence on the market, and
have little bargaining power for
the commercialisation of
technologies developed
There is no direct influence of
consumers on scientific
research; however, technologies
are developed keeping
consumer needs in mind
With easy access to talent base
and low operational costs,
companies may look to set up in-
house scientific research centres
