Workflow

Step 1: Map the Competitive Set

Industry definition:

# Get full industry composition
get_industry_stocks(industry="白酒")

Tier the competitors:

TierDescriptionExamples
Tier 1 (龙头)Market leaders, >10% share{{SECTOR_LEADER}} ({{EXAMPLE_SECTOR}})
Tier 2 (挑战者)Strong #2-5, growing share{{CHALLENGER_1}}, {{CHALLENGER_2}}
Tier 3 (跟随者)Niche players, regional{{NICH_PLAYER}}
Tier 4 (边缘)Declining or niche{{LOW_END_PLAYER}}

Step 2: Competitive Comparison Matrix

Core comparison table:

CompanyRevenue (亿)YoYGross MarginNet MarginROEMarket Cap (亿)PE (TTM)Market Share

Expand with competitive dimensions:

DimensionLeaderChallenger 1Challenger 2Follower
品牌力 (Brand)
渠道能力 (Distribution)
产品力 (Product quality)
成本优势 (Cost advantage)
研发投入 (R&D)
国际化 (International)

Step 3: Market Share Analysis

Share trends:

Company20202021202220232024ETrend
↑ / → / ↓

Concentration metrics:

  • CR3, CR5, CR10 (top 3/5/10 concentration)
  • HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index)
  • Market share distribution

Step 4: Competitive Positioning

Positioning map:

For 2x2 matrices, use:

  • X-axis: Price (价格) or Scale (规模)
  • Y-axis: Quality (品质) or Growth (增速)

Example for {{EXAMPLE_SECTOR}}:

         高端/品质
           |
   {{SECTOR_LEADER}}    |   {{CHALLENGER_1}}/{{CHALLENGER_2}}
           |
   {{NICH_PLAYER}} |   {{NATIONAL_BRAND}}
           |
           |________________
              低端/性价比    高端/溢价

Step 5: Barriers to Entry

China-specific barriers:

Barrier TypeExamples
品牌护城河Consumer brand loyalty, 品牌认知
渠道壁垒Distribution network, 经销商体系
规模效应Cost advantages from scale
技术壁垒Patents, know-how, 技术积累
牌照/资质Regulatory licenses, 牌照
资金壁垒Capital requirements
政策壁垒Industry access restrictions
数据壁垒Data network effects

Step 6: Threat Assessment

New entrants:

  • Likely sources (related industries, overseas)
  • Barriers effectiveness

Substitutes:

  • Alternative products/services
  • Switching costs

Supplier power:

  • Input concentration
  • Price volatility (e.g., 原材料)

Buyer power:

  • Customer concentration
  • Switching costs

Rivalry intensity:

  • Number and size of competitors
  • Industry growth rate
  • Differentiation level
  • Exit barriers

Step 7: Competitive Dynamics

Historical evolution:

  • How has competitive landscape changed?
  • What drove shifts (policy, technology, demand)?

Current dynamics:

  • Price competition (价格战)
  • Capacity expansion
  • M&A activity
  • New product launches

Future outlook:

  • Likely consolidation?
  • New entrants?
  • Technology disruption?

China-Specific Considerations

Industry Structure

PatternDescriptionExample Industries
寡头垄断Few large players白酒 (top 5 >80%)
分散竞争Fragmented, many players餐饮, 零售
区域割据Regional champions啤酒, 食品加工
龙头集中Consolidating toward leaders家电, 医药流通

Competitive Behavior

  • 价格战 (price wars) — common in commoditized sectors
  • 渠道争夺 (channel competition) — 经销商, 线上平台
  • 产能扩张 (capacity race) — leads to overcapacity
  • 并购整合 (consolidation M&A) — industry rationalization
  • 国际化 (going global) — emerging competitive frontier

Government Role

  • 产业政策 shapes competitive dynamics
  • 国企 vs 民企 competitive dynamics
  • 地方保护 (local protectionism) in some industries
  • 反垄断 enforcement affects market structure
