Rivalry can affect assortment differentiation and promotional intensity; buyer power can rise when shoppers can compare furniture, delivery terms and service alternatives. Supplier power matters where manufacturers, import exposure, product availability or freight conditions affect sourcing flexibility. The threat of entrants asks how easily new retail concepts can gain attention, while substitutes include other ways households can meet furnishing needs, such as resale, rental, repair or delaying a purchase.
