Arbutus Biopharma Corporation's Porter Forces

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation has a moderate threat of substitutes due to the availability of alternative treatments for hepatitis B, such as nucleoside analogues and interferons. However, the company's proprietary RNAi technology provides a unique mechanism of action that differentiates its products from existing treatments.

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation's customers, primarily pharmaceutical companies and research institutions, have limited bargaining power due to the company's specialized RNAi technology and the high barriers to entry in the biotech industry.

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation's suppliers, including contract manufacturers and raw material providers, have moderate bargaining power due to the company's dependence on a limited number of suppliers for critical components and materials.

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation faces a high threat of new entrants due to the growing interest in RNAi technology and the increasing availability of funding for biotech startups. New entrants could potentially disrupt the market and compete with the company's products.

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation operates in a highly competitive industry with several established players, including Gilead Sciences and GlaxoSmithKline. The company faces intense rivalry in the development of hepatitis B treatments, which could impact its market share and revenue.
