Porters 5 Force Analysis
Bargaining Power of Buyers: Moderate Evidence: high profit margins exist Niche market, little direct competiton
Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Moderate Computer components and assembly have become commodities Competitive advantage lies in the programming, not the physical interface They have 3 main manufacturers
Threat of New Substitutes: High Classic teaching methods still dominate the educational market Apple and Samsung tablets can offer “learning” apps that mimic those
offered by Leapfrog.
5 Force Analysis Continued
Competitive Rivalry within the Industry: Moderate There is no definitive market dominance Educational Technology for individual users is a
relatively new industry (use of the “pad”) Threat of New Entrants: High
App market is vast and easy to gain market presence Brand loyalty has yet to be established – users
“children” unable to recognize the difference between a Leapfrog product and an Apple Product.

Sales increased by 5% while Cost of Goods increased by 6% (as a reflection of the proportionally higher sales of higher cost platforms “pads”)
