Porter's Five Forces is a framework for analyzing an industry and understanding its competitive attractiveness and strengths. This study collected secondary data consisting of financial statements, annual reports, industry publications and other relevant sources. This information is used to analyze Porter's five forces, namely the threat of competitors, the threat of substitute products or services, the bargaining power of supplier power, the bargaining power of purchasing power, and the threat of new competitors entering the market. The results of the analysis show that the two companies, PT Gudang Garam and HM Sampoerna operate in a highly competitive industry. As for the threat of competitors, both companies face intense competition in the cigarette market. They compete with each other in the areas of product innovation, marketing and market access. Regarding supplier bargaining power, both companies depend on raw materials such as tobacco. Negotiating purchasing power is also an important factor in this area.
