These specialized suppliers often wield significant bargaining power because Hanwa has limited alternative sources, especially if the ingredients involve proprietary production methods or patents. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis concentration means these suppliers can dictate terms, potentially impacting Hanwa's cost of goods sold and overall profitability.
