[KN] Backward vertical integration happens when a business buys or merges with one of its suppliers. This helps the business gain more control over its supply chain and reduce costs.
[APP] For example, a car manufacturer might buy a tyre company to make sure it always has enough tyres for its vehicles.
[AN] This guarantees a steady supply of tyres, prevents production delays, and gives better control over quality, helping the business operate more efficiently and increase profit.

[KN]The business gains a larger share of the market by combining with a competitor, giving it more power to set prices and influence customers.
[APP]For example, if Toyota buys a steel supplier, it can guarantee a constant flow of steel for its factories.
[AN]This helps maintain production efficiency and consistent car quality leading towards a rise in brand image leading towards a larger consumer base and lower economies of scale.

KN: Backward vertical integration is when a business takes control of its suppliers to get raw materials or parts directly.
APP: E.g a car manufacturer buying a tyre or steel company ensures steady supply of materials.
AN: This helps lower costs, improve quality control, and reduce dependence on outside suppliers.
