Corporate trade credit serves as a vital financing channel in supply chain transactions, operating on trust between firms and partners. This study analyzes 2010-2021 Shanghai/Shenzhen A-share manufacturing firms to examine how supply chain concentration affects corporate trade credit, using market position as a moderating variable. Results show: (1) Significant negative correlation between supply chain concentration and trade credit; (2) Market position mitigates this relationship. Robustness tests confirm these findings, enriching trade credit literature and providing managerial insights for supply chain relationships.
