This power is amplified when market demand fluctuates, as seen with the choppy demand in 2024, where key clients leveraged their volume to seek better terms.  While Novanta's deep integration and specialized products raise switching costs, customer concentration remains a key factor influencing their negotiation leverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe threat of backward integration by customers is limited, given the highly specialized and R\u0026amp;D-intensive nature of Novanta's photonics and motion control solutions.  The continuous innovation required in these fields makes it costly and challenging for OEMs to replicate Novanta's core competencies, allowing Novanta to maintain a strong position despite customer concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tbl_prdct green_head blur_tbl\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCustomer Characteristic\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eImpact on Bargaining Power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupporting Data\/Observation (2023-2024)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCustomer Concentration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop 10 customers accounted for ~40% of 2023 revenue.
