Embossing Machines Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2014 -- Embossing machinery has a buyer power score of 3.6 out of 5. A score of 1 signifies low buyer power and a score of 5 demonstrates high buyer power. “This healthy score reflects a buyer's ability to negotiate lower prices, largely due to the high number of suppliers in the market,” says IBISWorld procurement analyst Jordan Weinstein. However, recent demand growth has slightly reduced buyer power.
In the three years to 2013, conditions were favorable to buyers of embossing machines despite growth in suppliers' input costs. Pricing for key materials such as plastic, aluminum and rubber increased, but the higher costs were not passed off to buyers because of weak demand and suppliers' fear of losing customers. “However, the price for embossing machinery is forecast to grow slightly in the three years to 2016,” says Weinstein. As the economy continues to recover over the next three years, the number of business, corporate profit and per capita disposable income, which all drive demand for embossing machinery, are expected to rise at healthy rates. Fortunately for buyers, booming demand will be mixed with slower growing input costs, and therefore will not result in substantial price increases.
Low market share concentration and high competition among embossing machinery suppliers aid buyer power. In fact, the large number of suppliers and the extremely low switching costs for buyers magnifies competition within the market. Furthermore, the commoditized nature of embossers has led to many suppliers capable of satisfying specific requirements. These conditions are very favorable for buyers and offset some of the forecast price increases, as competition limits volatile increases. Major suppliers include Staples, Office Depot, Amazon.com and Quill Lincolnshire Inc.
