High switching costs, such as data migration and retraining, can mitigate this power, but if these costs decrease, customers gain leverage. Price sensitivity, particularly among academic institutions with limited budgets, further empowers customers to demand competitive pricing, a trend amplified by ongoing R\u0026amp;D budget pressures in the life sciences sector as observed in 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe potential for large pharmaceutical and biotech firms to develop proprietary research tools internally also strengthens their bargaining position.
