If a few suppliers dominate the market for specialized components or eco-friendly materials, their ability to influence prices and terms increases significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2024, the global furniture market, a key sector for MillerKnoll, experienced supply chain challenges. For instance, the cost of lumber, a primary material, saw fluctuations. For example, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price, a benchmark, averaged around $350 per thousand board feet in early 2024, a decrease from its 2021 peaks but still subject to regional variations and demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMillerKnoll's strategy of focusing on sustainable sourcing and fostering strong relationships with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers aims to mitigate this supplier power.

For highly specialized components or proprietary designs, MillerKnoll faces substantial costs in retooling, redesigning, and re-qualifying new suppliers. This can significantly bolster the bargaining power of those suppliers.
