Buyer power concerns the leverage of commercial purchasers and downstream channels.

Social factors may involve travel, freight and changing consumer preferences. Technology covers process efficiency and evolving energy technologies.

Asset intensity, maintenance demands and exposure created by fixed operating infrastructure may be examined as possible internal constraints.
