Safe & Vault Installation Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 31, 2014 -- Buyers of safe and vault installation services have a buyer power score of 3.1 out of 5, which indicates that buyers have a slight advantage over suppliers during the purchasing process. According to IBISWorld analyst Kiera Outlaw, buyers benefit from low market share concentration, low service specialization and minimal switching costs. However, rising prices and few substitutes reduce buyer power.
Safe and vault sales heavily influence demand for services. As more safes and vaults are purchased, more buyers demand installation services. The number of banks has dropped during the period, thereby reducing the number of safe or vault installations that banks need; however, continues Outlaw, the number of businesses, higher construction rates and greater levels of corporate profit have contributed to higher demand for services and pushed prices up.
Buyers benefit significantly from 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 to provide services. This increases the number of suppliers from which to select, although buyers should question how travel costs and service prices are impacted.
Buyers also benefit from a low level of service specialization. Although installation processes vary, such as installing a vault door versus installing a safe into the floor, there is little customization between installation plans. In addition, minimal switching costs improve buyer power because buyers do not need to use the same supplier for their future installation needs. However, if they do 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 using an in-house team, they have few other viable substitute service options from which to choose. As a result, buyers are pressured to pay market prices. From 2011 to 2014, prices have risen steadily and are projected to continue growing during the next three years. Therefore, buyers should consider procuring services now before prices continue to rise.
