Oil Spill Cleanup Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 27, 2014 -- Oil spill cleanup services have a buyer power score of 2.8 out of 5, which reflects current pricing trends and a moderate amount of bargaining power. In recent years, oil spill cleanup services have been in high demand, primarily due to the repercussions of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and a rise in rail incidents, says IBISWorld analyst Deonta Smith. Although additional oil from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill is reportedly no longer entering the environment, habitat remediation efforts are still underway and are expected to continue in the coming years. These disasters, among others, have heightened demand and subsequently led to higher prices for oil spill cleanup services during the recent period, thus negatively impacting buyer power.
Additionally, the lack of viable service substitutes and moderate level of supply chain risk have reduced buyer power, continues Smith. The low level of substitutes limits buyer options to the certified and licensed operators in the market, and the price volatility of crucial input materials might incur sudden price spikes that are passed on to the buyer in the form of higher prices. Buyers are encouraged to secure longer-term contracts to secure lower prices.
Despite these disadvantages, prices during the next three years are forecast to decelerate, allowing buyers more negotiating power when arranging agreements with potential suppliers. From 2014 to 2017, the number of oil spill emergencies is expected wane due to the advancements of oil handling procedures and increased demand for oil alternative fuel sources. As a result, demand for oil spill cleanup services will increase at a slower pace during the next three years.
Another benefit to buyers is the market's low level of concentration and switching costs. Low market share concentration fosters an environment where there are ample vendor choices for the buyer, including Veolia Environnement SA, CB&I and Clean Harbors Inc., and competitive prices among bidders. Moreover, buyers benefit significantly from the ability to switch service providers if budgetary and quality criteria are not being met.
