Safe & Vault Installation Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 07, 2014 -- Buyers of safe and vault installation services have a buyer power score of 3.2 out of 5, which indicates that buyers have a slight advantage over suppliers during the purchasing process. During the negotiation process, buyers benefit from a low market share concentration, low service specialization and minimal switching costs. However, rising prices and few substitutes reduce buyer power.
Demand for services is heavily influenced by safe and vault sales. “As more safes and vaults are purchased, more buyers demand installation services,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst, Aileen Weiss. Although the number of banks has dropped during the period, reducing the number of safe or vault installations that banks need, the number of businesses, higher construction rates and greater levels of corporate profit have contributed to higher demand for services and have pushed prices up.
Buyers benefit significantly from a low market share concentration. Because no single supplier controls the market, buyers can pit multiple suppliers against one another during the purchasing process. Additionally, many suppliers are willing to travel outside their regions. This increases the number of suppliers to select from, although buyers should question how travel costs and service prices are impacted.
Buyers also benefit from the low level of service specialization. Although different installation processes vary, such as installing a vault door for a vault room versus installing a safe into the floor, there is little customization between installation plans. In addition, minimal switching costs improve buyer power. Buyers do not need to use the same supplier once an installation is complete. However, if the buyer does commit to a contract for multiple installations for a period of time, the buyer should include a termination clause to avoid any additional risk.
“Though buyers can install safes or vaults with an in-house team, buyers have few other viable substitute service options,” says Weiss. As a result, buyers are pressured to pay market prices. From 2011 to 2014, prices have steadily risen and are projected to continue growing during the next three years. Therefore, buyers should consider procuring services now before prices continue to rise. There are no major vendors in this market.
