The bargaining power of suppliers is therefore not uniform; it fluctuates based on the concentration of suppliers for particular, specialized inputs. For instance, suppliers of unique flavorings or advanced sustainable packaging materials, where Orkla has fewer alternative sources, can wield greater leverage.  In 2023, Orkla reported that its cost of goods sold was approximately NOK 35.7 billion, highlighting the significant volume of its supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sub-highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/5FORCES-Content-Suppliers-Box-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInput Cost Volatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput cost volatility significantly impacts the bargaining power of suppliers for consumer goods companies like Orkla.

This kind of fluctuation grants suppliers leverage, particularly if Orkla faces challenges in passing these higher costs to consumers or sourcing more economical alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrkla's strategic move to secure cocoa volumes for 2025 demonstrates a proactive approach to mitigating such input cost risks.
