Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 04, 2014 -- Video postproduction services have a buyer power score of 3.5 out of 5. The market has low barriers to entry with numerous suppliers for buyers to choose from. IBISWorld market research analyst Jesse Chiang says, “In the absence of a dominating player in the market, buyers can carefully select from a variety of suppliers and seek the lowest price.” Moderate switching costs and levels of specialization give buyers even more leverage. However, driven by the recovering economy, demand for video postproduction services has continuously grown since 2011, which allows suppliers to raise prices, thus limiting buyer power. Major vendors in the market include Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc., Point.360 and Technicolor SA.
“Buyers can choose from a variety of operators because video postproduction services typically require minimal investments in software and hardware,” says Chiang. With multiple operators in the market, buyers can easily choose from different suppliers of video postproduction services that meet both quality and price requirements. Although there are moderate switching costs and a medium level of specialization, these specific factors apply to buyers of high-end services. Buyers of services for low- to medium-quality videos do not have many switching costs because they can easily find lower-end video postproduction tutorials and services on the internet. Thus, there are limited quality risks for buyers of such services. The low risk gives most buyers significant leverage when selecting an operator because they do not have to settle based upon quality or price.
Still, buyer power is somewhat limited by the rising price of postproduction services. Recovering economic conditions have financially empowered consumers, who have increasingly consumed media content. In particular, consumers have increasingly demanded higher-quality media with special effects and high-quality resolution, which leads to even more demand for video postproduction services. In the midst of favorable demand conditions, suppliers are able to continuously increase prices without risking loss of demand. As such, buyers are recommended to engage in contracts when possible to lock in lower prices or seek discounts based on breadth of services.
