industry's requirement for large financial investments.

Supplier bargaining power: Honda's reliance on a worldwide supply chain may provide
its suppliers more negotiating leverage.

Customer bargaining power: Honda customers have a lot of bargaining power, especially
in markets with intense competition.

Threat of substitutes: The automobile sector is subject to major technical improvements,

which may result in the creation of new and innovative items that may replace Honda's
products.

Rivalry among existing competitors: Particularly those with a well-known brand and a
significant market presence, is difficult for Honda.
