Vertical integration is the control of multiple levels of a productâs supply chain. In a three-tier model â manufacture, wholesale and retail â vertical integration occurs if a firm controls two or more levels. There are numerous benefits to vertical integration.
Vertical integration can be contrasted to horizontal integration, the merging together of businesses that are at the same stage of production, such as two supermarkets, or two food manufacturers. Merging with something further back in the process (if a food manufacturer were to merge with a farm, say) is known as backward integration.
