Projection Screens Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2014 -- Projection screens have a buyer power score of 4.1 out of 5, reflecting favorable market conditions for buyers. Demand for screens is primarily tied to a growing number of businesses, government funding in education and private investment in computers. “Though moderate switching costs and a medium total cost of ownership lower buyer negotiation power,” says IBISWorld research analyst Aileen Weiss, “low market share concentration, slow and stable price growth and little product specialization benefit buyers.” Thanks to these factors, buyer negotiation power is high.
Although there are few manufacturers, buyers have a large selection of wholesalers and distributors to choose from. “The resulting high competition among suppliers provides buyers with more power to pit vendors against one another,” Weiss says. The standardization of most projection screens from supplier to supplier also helps drive competition, and products across most brands are comparable. For this reason, suppliers are forced to compete based on price and breadth of service to gain market share, which boosts buyer power. Current major suppliers include Dai Nippon Printing Co., Seiko Epson Corp., Optoma Technology and Draper Inc.
Alternatively, highly customized screens are only provided by manufacturers, which drastically reduces supplier options and, therefore, buyer power, for buyers that require such screens. Switching costs for customized screens are also higher because such screens are most expensive and more difficult to source, though buyers must consider installation fees for any type of screen. In addition, moderate total costs of ownership negatively impact buyer power if the buyer does not store or maintain the screen properly. Though a moderate degree of substitutes in the form of screen paint and flat-screen televisions increase competition slightly, neither of these options offer the exact capabilities of projection screens.
