Global Competitors

Market Disruption > Existing and Emerging Competitors

Enabled by global commerce platforms, cost advantages, and decentralized innovation inputs, viable competitors increasingly emerge from international geographies outside local markets

Illustrative Disruptions

  • Global Platforms – Global communications, payments, cloud-based services, logistics and other systems enable international companies to service markets comparably to local players
  • Cost Advantages – Offshore competitors often operate with comparative labor or other cost advantages
  • Decentralized Inputs – Capital, entrepreneurs, scientific knowledge, skilled labor and other innovation resources becoming decentralized globally, rather than centered solely in areas like Silicon Valley
