Despite these switching costs, intense market competition drives significant price sensitivity among these buyers, especially for equipment used in mature semiconductor nodes. For example, in 2024, the average selling price for certain mature node semiconductor manufacturing equipment decreased by up to 10% year-over-year due to weaker demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers' inability to backward integrate into manufacturing Amtech's complex, capital-intensive equipment further limits their leverage.
