In Porter's Five Forces framework, a supplier's high product

differentiation increases their bargaining power because:

Buyers can easily substitute similar products, like generic

pharmaceuticals for branded ones

Suppliers offer unique products, like Intel's specialized

computer chips, which are hard to replace

Products are standardized, such as basic commodities like

steel, making it easy for buyers to switch suppliers

Competing suppliers sell identical goods, like raw coffee

beans, reducing supplier power
