Motion Detectors Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2014 -- Motion detectors have a buyer power score of 2.7 out of 5. Buyers have a slight disadvantage over suppliers during the negotiation process. Demand for motion detectors has been driven primarily by an increase in corporate profit and construction over the past three years. “The lack of substitute goods and high market share concentration limit buyer power,” says IBISWorld procurement analyst Aileen Weiss. “However, buyers may use the low level of product specialization and minimal switching costs to their advantage.”
High market share concentration is attributed to a small number of powerful suppliers that control the majority of the market. This factor makes it difficult for new suppliers to join the market, limiting buyers' options. “Large companies with extensive economies of scope are less likely to encounter financial hardships, but smaller and regionally based suppliers offer less room to negotiate lower prices because their profit margins are typically lower,” adds Weiss. Additionally, with limited substitute goods available, buyers have few alternatives to motion detectors, further reducing buyer power.
To the buyer's advantage, a wide range of vendors supply motion detectors. Imported motion detectors are also a practical option, especially because many foreign electronic companies specialize in security products, making it easier for buyers to bundle purchases of related goods. However, higher freight costs and longer shipping times may affect their buying lead time and the final price of the product.
New innovations have enabled motion detectors to be integrated with more security systems. Although buyers benefit from the additional uses, suppliers raise prices in response to higher demand and greater production costs. Even in light of higher prices, low product specialization makes it easier for buyers to find more than one supplier that sells a similar device.
As motion detectors continue to rise in popularity, prices will continue to grow. Furthermore, devices will continue to be innovated, and buyers may choose to postpone purchases as better technology becomes available. To avoid price increases brought on by higher demand and greater production costs, though, buyers may lock in lower prices now.
