These clients, accustomed to high-volume purchases, leverage their scale to negotiate favorable prices, contract terms, and product specifications.

In 2024, global inflation has further intensified this, making buyers more focused on the final cost of goods incorporating Sanhua's components. The availability of substitutes also empowers customers; however, Sanhua counters this through R\u0026amp;D, investing in differentiated, energy-efficient solutions like advanced heat pump systems for EVs, a key focus in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers can also exert pressure by threatening backward integration, especially for less complex components. Sanhua's substantial investments in specialized R\u0026amp;D and expertise in advanced thermal management, particularly for intricate EV systems, significantly reduce this risk for its more sophisticated offerings.
