Strobe & Warning Lights Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 19, 2014 -- Strobe and warning lights have a buyer power score of 3.2 out of 5. This score reflects a mixture of favorable and unfavorable conditions in the market that have been influencing buyer power over the three years to 2014. IBISWorld market research analyst, Keiko Cadby, says, "During the period, strengthening business activity across major industries and rising input costs have lifted prices." Buyers in various economic sectors (particularly mining, industrial, construction and manufacturing) have revived their production capacity and construction projects. As buyers have increasingly started expanding their facilities and vehicles to keep up with rising production levels, demand for strobe and warning lights has picked up, and prices have followed suit. Over the three years to 2017, continued growth in construction will facilitate demand for strobe and warning lights, while rising raw material prices will prompt prices of strobe and warning lights to accelerate. However, rising import penetration will warrant strong domestic price competition and mitigate price surges for strobe and warning lights.
Despite rising product prices, low market share concentration and switching costs help leverage the buyer's negotiation power. Cadby says, "While merger and acquisition (M&A) activity has been on the rise for manufacturers in the strobe and warning lights market, there are abundant wholesale and retail suppliers for buyers to choose from." Major vendors in the market include United Technologies Corporation, Acuity Brands and Cooper Industries. Furthermore, the plethora of suppliers can easily meet buyer needs and provide buyers with a stronger hand in price negotiation to make it easier to switch suppliers without fear of incurring significant financial losses.
On the other hand, the lack of substitutes and strict regulatory requirements diminish buyer power. Buyers must carefully consider the environmental conditions and functional purposes of their strobe and warning light purchases. Inadequate quality, resilience or function can lead to fines and potentially dangerous situations. Buyers can mitigate these risks by evaluating their strobe and warning light needs and ensuring that qualified suppliers are prevetted before pursuing contract negotiations.
