Threat of Entry (Low)
● High government regulations ● Low access to distribution ● High capital requirements for purchase of factories
Industry Competitiveness(High)● Strong local competitor: Nine Dragons● High growth in Asia● Low product differentiation● Low informational complexity● High switching costs and exit barriers
Supplier Power (High)
● 60% of OCC from North America● Quality Differentiation: North America has highest quality fiber ● Scarce OCC materials with growing demand● OCC is a large component of product price● High power in pricing
Buyer Power (Low)
● Low substitutes● Low power in pricing● High concentration● Brand identity low● Consolidation of paper producers due to government regulation
Threat of Substitutes (Low)
● Cardboard boxes are the industry standard

Skyrocketing Raw Material Prices
• Lee & Man’s containerboard product contains 85-90% OCC
• Increased demand for OCC has driven prices up
• 60% OCC from North America (quality)

Strict Environmental Policies• Paper production is
one of the most polluting industries
• China is the 2nd largest polluter in the world
• Chinese government is shutting down small inefficient plants
![Page 13: Lee & Man Paper Strategy Analysis](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5466def4b4af9f800a8b4601/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Industry Competitiveness
• Two Main Chinese Competitors– Lee & Man– Nine Dragons
• Low Product Differentiation– Nine Dragons has entered into high-tech
containerboard market– How will Lee & Man position themselves?

Environmentally FriendlyCurrent waste
“For every 30 kg of banana sold on the market, there are 250 kg of waste”
-Ramy AzerCreator of BTT technology
• BTT is currently unutilized
•Traditional Paper Making uses 10 tons of water for each ton of paper
• Reduce greenhouse gases and eliminates CO2 emission
• Only by-product is clean water
• Completely Renewable!
