Workflow

Step 1: Map the Competitive Set

**Industry definition:**

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

**Tier the competitors:**

| Tier | Description | Examples | |------|-------------|---------| | 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:**

| Company | Revenue (亿) | YoY | Gross Margin | Net Margin | ROE | Market Cap (亿) | PE (TTM) | Market Share | |---------|-------------|-----|-------------|------------|-----|----------------|----------|-------------| | | | | | | | | | |

**Expand with competitive dimensions:**

| Dimension | Leader | Challenger 1 | Challenger 2 | Follower | |-----------|--------|-------------|-------------|---------| | 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:**

| Company | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024E | Trend | |---------|------|------|------|------|-------|-------| | | | | | | | ↑ / → / ↓ |

**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 Type | Examples | |-------------|---------| | 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

| Pattern | Description | Example 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
