For an insurer, the links matter.

Rivalry can involve product breadth, service quality, claims experience and trust as well as price. Supplier power may arise through reinsurance, technology, specialist services or important distribution relationships.

Product analysis can compare the clarity and relevance of protection, life or savings-related propositions. Price should be considered through risk, benefits, policy conditions, distribution costs and long-term value rather than as a simple discounting decision.
