However, there has been increasing advocacy of stricter laws and regulations which will address the privacy issues in the long run. 

Increasing Data Volume across Industries to Foster the Growth of Social Media Management

Businesses are making the most of social media data by advancing customer relationships using social media management solutions to gain real-time insights and increase revenue.

Porter’s Five Forces Analysis for the Global Social Media Management Market:

  • Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Supply is an issue in regard to knowledge and experience which faces bottleneck. Those with experience can instill confidence in their clients or top management in their particular business models, but those without experience pose a bigger risk in an industry that is already perceived as risky. Therefore, bargaining power of suppliers (experienced professionals) is moderate when it comes to offering unique social media management solutions.
    Thus, the bargaining power of the suppliers is moderate.
  • Bargaining Power of Buyers: The buyers garner significant amount of bargaining power as industry offers wider range of social media management options. The low switching cost for buyers and less product differentiation offered by companies gives edge to buyers. 
    Thus, the bargaining power of the buyers is high.
  • Threat of New Entrants: In social media industry, there are virtually no entry barriers due to economies of scale, giving new entrants the opportunity to adequately study the market. Moreover, in the business to business (B2B) model advantages such as low initial investments, price-performance decision powers, and adaptability, a new entrant can challenge an established player. 
    Thus, the threat of the new entrants is high.
  • Threat of Substitutes: In terms of competition and other marketing and influencing tools there are few options available in the market such as search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing. However, these substitutes cannot be considered a complete switch because social media marketing is much less expensive, effective, and quick to set up than search engine optimization or search engine marketing.
    Thus, the threat of substitutes is moderate.
  • Competitive Rivalry in the Market: Considering B2B model, there are large number of agencies in the social media industry. Lower pricing of tools is pervasive, which acts as a substitute in terms of competition. The competition is likely to increase because of the low investment and low entry barriers, however for sustainability it is still challenging just like any other industry.
    Therefore, the competitive rivalry in the market is high.
