It uses market growth and relative market share to consider whether activities may resemble Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks or Dogs.

The Diamond Green Diesel relationship and the need for crude oil, used cooking oil, recycled fats and distiller's corn oil illustrate why partnerships can affect both supply reliability and economics.

Rivalry can affect product-market economics where refining capacity competes for demand. Supplier power matters because crude and renewable feedstocks are essential inputs with varying availability and quality. Buyer power is relevant across wholesale and commercial customers that can compare supply options. The threat of new entrants depends on capital intensity, permitting, infrastructure and technical capability, while substitutes include electrification, lower-carbon energy choices and other ways customers can meet mobility or energy needs.
