Despite medium market concentration, disruptions—such as supplier production delays or transport bottlenecks—can propagate quickly across the continent. Buyers should implement multi-sourcing strategies, maintain a safety stock of critical bearings, and actively monitor supplier lead times. Contingency planning, including alternative transport routes and flexible delivery schedules, is essential to mitigate disruptions that could impact production or maintenance operations.
