Rivalry can be considered in markets where suppliers compete on performance, quality, lead time and engineering support. Buyer power may be important when OEM customers purchase for demanding systems and can influence specifications. Supplier power raises questions about specialist materials, fabrication inputs and scarce technical skills.
