Commercial Radiators Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2014 -- Commercial radiators have a buyer power score of 3.4 out of 5. This score reflects a buyer's moderate ability to negotiate lower prices due to the product's widespread availability and the price-competitive nature of the radiator market. However, according to IBISWorld research analyst Jordan Weinstein, “recent demand growth and price fluctuations for key inputs have slightly reduced buyer negotiating power.”
The price of commercial radiators has been increasing over the past three years, largely due to a rise in demand as the economy has improved, specifically in the industrial and automobile sectors. “Suppliers have also been experiencing rising input costs, such as those of aluminum, plastic materials and resin,” says Weinstein. “Consequently, as demand strengthens and suppliers pass increased input costs on to buyers, prices for commercial radiators are trending upward.”
Fortunately for buyers, the resulting price rises have been mild. And rising imports are allowing buyers to purchase less expensive machinery from abroad, which puts pricing pressure on domestic suppliers. As competition from imports grows, suppliers that drastically raise prices as demand rises will lose clients to those vendors offering the same products at a lower price. This is emphasized by the widespread availability of commercial radiators and strong competition in the market. IBISWorld estimates that there are more than 465 vendors, providing buyers with a healthy number of capable suppliers to satisfy specific buyer needs.
