The template covers all five forces-industry rivalry, threat of substitutes, buyer bargaining power, supplier bargaining power, and threat of new entrants-with specific prompts for grocery apps. Each force includes scorecards, short rationales, and tactical responses tied to coupons, price comparison, in-store routing, and subscription economics. Use the force-by-force layout to prioritize product work or partnership outreach based on where pressure is highest.

Industry rivalry: app and retailer competition

Substitutes: delivery, meal kits, lists

Buyers: bargain hunters and low loyalty

Suppliers: CPG brands and coupon networks

Analysis is tailored to the US grocery market and common grocery-app dynamics: retailer data access, coupon ecosystems, indoor positioning, and subscription monetization. Sections suggest where to negotiate data APIs, when to invest in mapping tech, and how buyer behavior affects pricing power. The template prompts for local store density, typical basket size, and coupon redemption rates to keep findings market-relevant.

The design is clean and presentation-ready: headings for each force, executive summary, scorecards, and slide-ready paragraphs.

That makes it easy to export text into pitches or paste charts into slide templates without reformatting.
