According to the research, the customer risk will reduce the investment efficiency of supplier enterprises, which is manifested as underinvestment. Based on further research, the relationship is more significant in supplier enterprises with a higher customer concentration and state-owned enterprises that are customers and suppliers. The research of this paper enriches the relevant literature on investment efficiency and the relationship between customer and supplier, provides a new perspective for studying investment efficiency and the empirical evidence for risk prevention behavior among enterprises, and has important practical significance for supplier enterprises to choose core customers and manage customer relations.
