The Industry Risk Scoring Methodology Risk Rating Score Definition AbstractIndustry Risk Ratings SynopsisThis Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Electronic Shopping and Auctions in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be 'the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment'. The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk). This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months. Industry Definition This industry is part of the Retail Trade Sector in the US. Operators in this industry retail a broad range of merchandise exclusively via electronic shopping, that is through the internet in the form of regular sales like, books purchased on Amazon.com or through auctions, like eBay. The range of products range from food hampers, to electronic goods such as DVDs, CDs, toys, jewelry, clothing, footwear, cars, vacation packages etc. It is important to note, that those retailers that operate a physical store and have also set up a website in conjunction with their store are excluded from this industry and can be found under their respective NAICS code. NAICS definition- Electronic Shopping: This US industry comprises establishments engaged in retailing all types of merchandise using the internet. NAICS definition- Electronic Auctions: This US industry comprises establishments engaged in providing sites for and facilitating consumer-to-consumer or business-to-business trade in new and used goods, on an auction basis, using the internet. Establishments in this industry provide the electronic location for retail auctions, but do not take title to the goods being sold. Report Contents Risk Overview The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Industry Definition and Activities, Industry Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis. The Industry Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this industry as defined in NAICS. A list of the primary activities of the industry is also included. The Industry Risk Score section provides the Overall Industry Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Industry Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Industry Risk Score. Structural Risk The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the industry itself and provides a detailed discussion of the industry’s level of exposure to seven key indicators. These key indicators are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Industry Exports, Industry Imports, Level of Assistance, Life Cycle Stage and Volatility of Industry. The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key indicators. Each of the key indicators is discussed in detail in this section. Growth Risk The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry. The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Industry Growth and Forecast Industry Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both. Sensitivity Risk The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the industry. The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the industry. Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a detailed analysis of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the industry, including charts and data tables where appropriate.
