Suppliers of critical parts therefore gain bargaining power because requalification risk can jeopardize product schedules and margins. Foxconn’s global engineering scale and in-house test labs (2024 expansion of regional centers) helps accelerate dual-sourcing, partially offsetting supplier leverage.
