The local market features over 250 licensed generic manufacturers producing identical off-patent paracetamol and antibiotic formulations, with retail pharmacies easily switching between suppliers based on trade discounts. How should the threat of buyer power be evaluated?

Low, because essential medicines always experience inelastic end-consumer demand Moderate, because brand loyalty strictly prevents pharmacies from switching brands High, because low differentiation between generic formulations and zero switching costs give pharmacy retailers substantial bargaining leverage Negligible, because government price controls eliminate competitive negotiations between producers and retailers

High, because low differentiation between generic formulations and zero switching costs give pharmacy retailers substantial bargaining leverage
