whether potential entrants have ample cash on hand to fund the capital requirements to enter the industry.
how formidable the entry barriers are for each type of potential entrant and whether most companies already in the industry are making money or losing money.
whether existing industry members have sufficient capacity to supply the expected growth in buyer demand.
whether industry incumbents will or will not have a cost advantage over new entrants.
whether the industry's growth and profit prospects are strongly attractive to potential entry candidates.
