An industry chаrаcterized by stаble input cоsts and a fragmented supplier base has recently seen its dоwnstream market shift; the оnce-diverse group of retailers has been acquired by two dominant national distributors (must reference Delta-V parameters) who now demand extreme volume discounts. While no viable substitutes for the product currently exist, the expiration of key patents has coincided with a shift toward modular manufacturing. This has caused the minimum efficient scale (MES) to plummet, effectively removing the capital-intensive "moat" that previously protected the industry from outside entrepreneurs. Identify the two most threatening forces. Beyond the provided text, explain how the drop in MES specifically changes the 'Exit Barriers' for these firms.
