Money Transport Services Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 28, 2014 -- Money transport services have a buyer power score of 3.7 out of 5, indicating moderately good negotiating conditions for buyers. There is low market share concentration among suppliers in the market, giving buyers leverage during the bidding process as the large pool of suppliers compete with one another. Additionally, switching costs are low in this market. Nonetheless, some factors work against buyers. There are no real substitutes for these services, which are highly specialized. “Suppliers also incur large initial costs associated with purchasing the armored vehicles required to safely transport large quantities of cash and valuable items,” says IBISWorld procurement analyst Daniel Krohn. “Some of these costs could be passed on to buyers in the form of price increases.”
Price volatility has stayed moderate, somewhat limiting the risk of sudden price shocks and offering buyers some ability to anticipate costs. “Price volatility is expected to decrease over the three years to 2016, aiding buyers by allowing them time to find the most suitable money transport service supplier with minimal pressure to purchase the services immediately,” adds Krohn.
Even though prices are forecast to increase only slightly in the next three years, buyers should consider entering into long-term contracts. While this will make it more difficult for buyers to switch suppliers, suppliers will be more willing to negotiate favorable terms, as they will be able to count on steady income.
