Rivalry may reflect competition for qualified design wins, manufacturing capability and customer programmes. Supplier power raises questions about specialised inputs, equipment and production dependencies; buyer power considers the influence of large automotive and industrial customers. The threat of new entrants depends on barriers such as technical expertise, qualification cycles and capital requirements.
