Limited copyright of music; Needs of internet flow
- Opportunities:
More and more people are willing to pay for copyright of music

Too many similar competitors in China; Privacy issue

Porter’s Five Forces
-Threats of new entry:
The time and cost of entering this market is high because most of Chinese music’s copyright has been bought by the big music APPs, and these APPs, including Netease Cloud Music and Miami Cloud Music, have taken a large market share.
-Competitive rivalry:
Quite a large number of competitors, and users have weak loyalty to the APPs, mainly focus on the resources. The switching cost is mainly about money and time.
-Buyer power:
The Numbers of users are large. There are two types of price sensitivity. Users are more sensitive to monthly member fee and less sensitive towards the price of digital albums or songs. The specialty of Netease is its comment community, users left lots of stories related to the songs on it and this function is outstanding than other APPs.
-Threats of substitution: 
As long as the users cannot find the songs they want to listen to, they switch to other APPs which have those songs easily.
-Supplier power:
It cooperates with a lot of famous music providers and has unique resources such as The Voice of China and Singer.
