"content": "Control points are concentrated in regulators, who dictate approval pathways, and OEMs, who own proprietary designs. Supply chain bottlenecks may arise from raw material shortages or regulatory delays. End users face high switching costs due to facility-specific installations and partnerships between manufacturers and integrators often determine interoperability. Regional variations in infrastructure and compliance requirements further shape ecosystem dynamics."
