3. INDUSTRY SCENARIO
 “Express Industry” comprised courier companies which offered domestic &
international services. The consignments held by the express companies were
broadly classified into :
 Documents  Any material comprising paper such as correspondence, bill
/ invoice, brochure, catalogue, books, files, account details etc.
 Non Documents  Items with or without commercial value like CKD units,
small machineries, electronic parts, spare parts etc.
 On overall basis, documents accounted 60% of total revenue & the rest 40%
was non documents.
 The 1980’s saw the entry of professional players into the express industry &
since then the industry grew at a steady rate.
 The Indian Express Cargo industry (organized & Un-organized both) had
enormous prospects for growth in local well as international markets.
 The express industry saw progressive growth in the last decade of 20th century
due to trade & services. The elimination of trade barriers, globalization of

6.  The organized sector was by and large into documents business. The
margins were much lower than package segment & also barriers to
entry were also very less
 The industry was not regulated therefore licensing was not requisite to
setup a cargo management company.
 Entry barriers in the Package segment were high because company
needed strong distribution network, latest technology, well trained
staff, strong brand image & economies of scale. (given the operating
leverage of industry was very high)
 Cargo management companies were leveraging on their strong
distribution network & were providing customers with value added
services.
 Logistics management emerged as a new growth opportunity for these
companies because a lot of manufacturing companies were
outsourcing their logistics requirements to third parties.

Porter’s 5 Force Model

8. Threat of New Entrant [ LOW ]
•The barriers to entry are very high. One of the reasons that there
is a high entry barrier is the high fixed cost associated with
establishing the international transportation network. This
includes hubs, ground transportation vehicles, air fleet, etc.
•Additionally, existing companies can take advantage of the
absolute cost advantage achieved by large volume of shipments
and economies of scale.

9. Bargaining power of buyers [ HIGH]
•The bargaining power of large buyers in shipping service
industry is high.
•Cost associated with switching from one shipping service to
another is very low. Therefore, buyers can turn to a shipping
provider that offer faster service, lower price, or service
innovation with ease. This is especially true for large
corporations, like IBM, which ships in large volumes and can
bargain quantity discounts.

10. Bargaining power of suppliers [LOW]
•The supplier power within this industry is fairly low.
•Large shipping service provider can affect prices of supplies, like
packaging materials. This is because they buy in large quantities
and can turn to different suppliers easily.

11. Threat of substitute products [LOW]
•There are not many substitutes to shipping. In this day and age
where many businesses have strong online presence and a small
physical presence, it would be difficult to find a substitute in
delivering their product.
•Shipping services are very much similar to a commodity, in that
it is not easily replaced with another service or even a similar
service.

12. Rivalry Amongst Existing Firms[HIGH]
•Established players in shipping service industry complete
rigorously for a market share, the company who responses first to
the constantly changing environment wins. Established
companies have to strive for continuous improvement in quality,
lowering price, and innovation.
•There is very low switching cost for consumers in this industry
making rivalry even more intense.
•In addition, intense rivalry is also due to the fact that
maintaining the infrastructure of an express delivery company
presents an exit barrier due to high fixed costs.
