The average price for embossing machines is forecast to continue rising over the three years to 2017 as the cost of production increases and demand continues to rise.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 18, 2014
Embossing machines have a buyer power score of 3.3 out of 5.0. This score reflects a buyer's moderate ability to negotiate lower prices due to the high number of suppliers and standardized nature of embossers. However, recent demand growth and price fluctuations for key inputs during the past three years have slightly reduced buyer negotiating power. “In the three years to 2014, the average price of embossing machines has grown due to a rise in demand,” says IBISWorld procurement analyst Jordan Weinstein. “Specifically, rising corporate profit, the number of business and per capita disposable income are driving more buyers to purchase these machines.” The growth in these factors has been due to the recovering economy. The price for embossing machinery is forecast to grow slightly faster in the three years to 2017. In addition to rising demand over the period, Suppliers are expected to experience price increases for their key inputs, including aluminum, plastic and rubber. As a result, the selling price for embossing machines will increase as suppliers pass on a portion of their increased input costs to buyers.
Fortunately for buyers, the rise in demand for embossing machines and price growth for some key inputs will not lead to substantial price growth in the years to come. “Because suppliers face pricing pressure due to heavy competition, suppliers that drastically raise prices as demand increases will lose clients to those vendors offering the same standardized products at a lower price,” adds Weinstein.
Price aside, the low market share concentration and high competition among embossing machinery suppliers aid buyer power. In fact, the large number of suppliers and the extremely low switching costs for buyers magnifies competition within the market. Furthermore, the commoditized nature of embossers means there are many suppliers capable of satisfying specific buyer requirements. These conditions are very favorable for buyers and offset some of the forecast price increases.
