Auxiliary Generators Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 09, 2014 -- Auxiliary generators have a buyer power score of 3.0 out of 5. This score indicates a mixed power balance between buyers and suppliers, albeit with a slight advantage to buyers.
“Over the past three years, the price of auxiliary generators has risen at an annualized rate of 2.5%, thanks to a postrecession pickup in demand in industrial production and nonresidential building activity,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Sean Windle. New buildings, such as hospitals, power plants and industrial manufacturing facilities, spur demand for auxiliary generators, which are used to provide emergency power for these and other structures. Also diminishing buyer power is the limited availability of substitute products. Portable generators and inverters, while providing a reasonable alternative for limited residential situations, are not equipped to handle the large power requirements of commercial and industrial applications.
Despite steady price growth and higher demand over the past three years, and despite the absence of any reasonable substitute products, buyers enjoy a range of favorable negotiating conditions. First, market share concentration among the supplier base is low, giving buyers a variety of options from which to choose. The market for auxiliary generator suppliers has a low level of concentration, with the top four suppliers (Eaton Corportation, General Electric, ABB Ltd. and Siemens AG) accounting for just under 30.0% of total market revenue. The low level of concentration among auxiliary generator manufacturers and wholesalers reflects the fragmented nature of the market. Overall, there are about 9,771 auxiliary generator suppliers in the United States. In addition, rising imports have brought more comparable, lower-price foreign goods into the US market. Not only have increasing imports given buyers another supplier choice, they have constrained price growth among US vendors, which now have to compete with lower-cost imports.
“Over the next three years, the average price paid for auxiliary generators is forecast to increase at an annualized rate of 2.7%. While the pace of price growth will quicken, rising imports will largely keep this growth in check. This stable growth enables buyers to better plan and budget future expenses,” Windle says.
