The bargaining power of these suppliers directly influences Emami's input costs and production stability. For instance, in 2023-24, the volatility in global commodity prices, particularly for certain essential oils and specialty chemicals, presented a challenge, impacting the cost of goods sold for FMCG companies like Emami.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uniqueness and availability of these inputs are key determinants of supplier leverage.

High switching costs here, perhaps due to specialized formulations or long-term supply agreements, would empower these suppliers. For example, if a particular herbal extract requires a unique processing method that only a few suppliers can provide, Emami's ability to switch is limited, thus increasing supplier power.

Each of these product lines requires different sets of raw materials, from herbal extracts to chemical compounds.
