Planting & Seeding Machinery Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) December 13, 2014 -- Within the planting and seeding machinery market, buyers have a buyer power score of 3.3 out of 5, indicating a moderately favorable purchasing environment for buyers. According to IBISWorld market research analyst, Erick Delgado, "Buyers derive power primarily from the high availability of planting and seeding machinery and the low switching costs associated with changing vendors." Additionally, the market's low level of supply chain risk and vendors' overall secure financial structures and conditions contribute to buyer power. Major vendors in the market include Deere & Company, AGCO Corporation and CNH Industrial.
Planting and seeding machinery is supplied by a wide range of vendors; buyers can look to vertically integrated agribusinesses such as Deere & Company to procure this equipment, or they can source from locally based farm machinery manufacturers or wholesalers. "Additionally, imported machinery is also a viable option, though buyers should consider additional costs associated with foreign-made products such as shipping and tariffs," says Delgado.
Low levels of supply chain and vendor risk give buyers confidence in their machinery purchases. While inputs and demand conditions fluctuate year on year, the availability and price of machinery is relatively constant, allowing buyers to more easily budget for their purchases and retain confidence that the price they are paying will not change drastically in the coming years. Individual suppliers also display a reasonably stable environment with little risk of bankruptcy. The market's largest vendors are multiline, multinational businesses that generate revenue through a variety of streams. As such, the likelihood of financial struggles is low.
Still, buyers do face some obstacles in procuring planting and seeding machinery. First, the lack of substitute products indicates that demand for planting and seeding machinery is inelastic, and forces buyers to take the prevailing market price. Additionally, the high market share concentration among the top four vendors limits buyers' choices. Smaller vendors may be able to supply more specialized products, but large vendors are more likely to have the scope and capacity to fill large and diverse orders. Large vendors also offer value-added services like insurance, warranties and buy-back programs that buyers are likely to benefit from.
