Porter Five Forces Maker

A Porter Five Forces Analysis Tool helps you map the five competitive forces that shape industry profitability: competitive rivalry, threat of new entrants, threat of substitutes, bargaining power of suppliers, and bargaining power of buyers. This tool visualizes all five forces in a single diagram with strength ratings so you can quickly assess how attractive an industry is and where competitive pressure is strongest.

Michael Porter's five forces are: (1) Competitive Rivalry — the intensity of competition among existing firms; (2) Threat of New Entrants — how easily new competitors can enter the market; (3) Bargaining Power of Suppliers — how much leverage suppliers have over pricing; (4) Bargaining Power of Buyers — how much power customers have to demand lower prices; and (5) Threat of Substitutes — the risk of customers switching to alternative products or services.

Start by typing a description of your industry or company in the input field. Our AI will generate an initial analysis with relevant factors and strength ratings for all five forces. You can then edit the title and factors for each force, adjust strength levels to High, Medium, or Low, customize colors, and export or share the finished diagram.

Yes. You can edit the title and all factors for each force, set the strength level (High, Medium, or Low) for each, add or remove individual factors, and change the color scheme for strength levels, the center force, and arrows. The diagram updates in real time as you make changes.

Porter Five Forces works for any industry — technology, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, finance, and more. The framework is especially useful for analyzing highly competitive markets, markets with powerful suppliers or buyers, or industries facing disruption from new entrants or substitutes. The tool is flexible enough to handle both broad industry analyses and narrow niche market assessments.

Once your diagram is complete, use the export button to download it as a high-resolution PNG or SVG file. You can also copy a shareable link or grab an embed code to paste your live diagram into websites, slides, or reports.

Static PowerPoint templates give you a blank diagram you fill in manually — with no guidance on relevant factors and no visual strength indicators. MakeCharts generates industry-specific factors using AI, adds color-coded strength badges, and lets you share or embed a live, interactive diagram. Updating is instant and the output is always clean and professional.
