Hazardous Waste Containers Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2014 -- Hazardous waste containers have a buyer power score of 3.4 out of 5. This score signifies that buyers have a medium level of purchasing power during the negotiation process. According to IBISWorld analyst Deonta Smith, buyers derive power primarily from low market share concentration and a low level of product specialization. However, the low availability of substitutes negatively impacts buyer power.
A wide range of vendors offer hazardous waste containers. As such, buyers can look to hazardous waste container manufacturers, such as Grayling Industries, or larger distributors, such as Airgas Inc., to procure these products. Buyers can also procure products from smaller, locally based manufacturers, which only offer standard hazmat containers. Although wholesalers comprise the majority of suppliers, manufacturing vendors have gained market share by dominating specific markets (e.g. healthcare). However, because many wholesalers operate on a local or regional level, they have access to a limited number of buyers that they can serve; having a wide selection of vendors to choose from increases buyer power, continues Smith.
Likewise, the low level of specialization for hazardous waste containers benefits buyers. Some buyers may require slightly customized products or unique specifications. For example, when dealing with highly rated corrosives and contaminants, buyers are required to procure containers with customized features, such as ventilation and spill containment systems. Nevertheless, most vendors provide these add-ons, which further expands a buyer's vendor options.
On the other hand, there are some factors working against buyers of hazardous waste containers. Hazardous waste containers are necessary products for which there are no substitutes. The lack of alternatives reduces a buyer's leverage during the negotiation process because buyers have no other option for hazardous waste disposal and storage.
