This article puts forward the conceptual framework of supply chain partnership loyalty based on the relationship between transaction cost, service quality and relationship quality. The empirical study mainly focused on equipment purchasers, and a total of 321 valid samples were collected. The results show that 4 of the 9 hypotheses are not supported, namely Hypothesis H1c: the impact of information sharing on relationship quality, H2a: asset specificity, H2b: loyalty uncertainty and H5 loyalty relationship quality. Regarding the analysis of the mediating effect of relationship quality, this study found that relationship quality has a significant mediating effect in the relationship between asset specificity and loyalty or between service quality and loyalty. That is, by investing in exclusive assets and improving service quality, customers will not show better loyalty, but asset specificity and high-quality services can affect loyalty through relationship quality.
