Rivalry is not only about similar equipment suppliers; it can also reflect competing ways for manufacturers to apply adhesives, coatings or fluids with the required accuracy and throughput.

Price is better examined through value, specification complexity, lifecycle service and purchasing context than through consumer-style list-price assumptions.

It can also examine shifts in production automation, materials requirements and customer expectations for process efficiency.
