Sector competitiveness is examined through a structured process combining both quantitative and qualitative factors. The analysis begins with market fundamentals — size, value, growth dynamics, and sector mobility. Competitiveness is then evaluated using recognized frameworks, including Porter’s Five Forces, SWOT, Value Chain Analysis, Cluster Analysis, and PESTLE Analysis.
Attention is also given to monopoly conditions, tariffs, and trade policies that shape the sector’s market position. Resources such as raw materials, human capital, skills, and education pipelines are mapped to determine the sector’s capacity for growth and sustainability.
The process results in a comprehensive ecosystem map, capturing market structure, regulatory context, workforce readiness, and investment potential. This evidence-based approach identifies bottlenecks and opportunities, providing a foundation for targeted development strategies and the transition to Development Needs Assessment at the next level.
Porter’s Five Forces
Start with Porter’s Five Forces to understand the structure of the sector — the intensity of rivalry, supplier and buyer power, the threat of substitutes, and the ease of new entry. This sets the baseline for how competitive or concentrated the sector is, and where market power lies
Market Structure, Size, and Dynamics
Examines market value, scale, and growth outlook alongside demand–supply balance, monopoly or concentration levels, entry and exit conditions, and mobility. This step shows whether the sector is expanding, stagnating, or constrained.
CAGR — Compound Annual Growth Rate
Human Capital and Skills Readiness
Assesses the workforce, including labor availability, technical and managerial skills, and the strength of education and training pipelines. This determines if the sector has the people required to grow.
PEST Analysis
Scans the external environment to capture policy drivers, economic conditions, social trends, and technology adoption that shape the sector’s competitiveness.
Cluster Mapping and Ecosystem Visualization
This step brings together all findings into a single picture of the sector. Cluster mapping highlights the concentration and linkages of firms, suppliers, institutions, and support organizations. Ecosystem visualization integrates workforce, resources, policies, and demand conditions, showing how the sector functions as a whole. The result is a clear, evidence-based map that reveals strengths, bottlenecks, and opportunities — serving as the foundation for sector development strategies and Development Needs Assessment.
