Porter’s Analysis

Threat of new entrants: Low. The Singapore MICE market is a well-established industry with key players occupying a major market share. New entrants will face challenge to gain foothold.
Bargaining power of buyers: High. Buyers in the form of corporate organizations and event management companies have a wide choice of MICE vendors and venues to choose from. This gives them strong bargaining power.
