Auxiliary Generators Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2015 -- Auxiliary generators have a buyer power score of 2.9 out of 5, indicating that neither buyers nor suppliers have a distinct advantage in negotiations.
According to IBISWorld analyst Jeffrey Cohen, the price of auxiliary generators has risen at an estimated annualized rate of 2.5% during the past three years, thanks to growth in industrial production and nonresidential building activity. New buildings such as hospitals, power plants and industrial manufacturing facilities spur demand for auxiliary generators, which are used to provide emergency power for these and other structures. A limited availability of substitute products has also diminished buyer power. Although portable generators and inverters provide a reasonable alternative for limited residential situations, they are not equipped to handle the large power requirements of commercial and industrial applications.
Despite steady price growth, higher demand and the absence of any reasonable substitute products, buyers have enjoyed a range of favorable negotiation conditions, including low market concentration, low switching costs and rising imports, continues Cohen. First, market share concentration is low, which causes suppliers to engage in heavy price-based competition to attract customers. Additionally, low switching costs indicate there are several suppliers that can provide high quality auxiliary generators to buyers in several industries. In addition, rising imports have brought more comparable, lower-price foreign goods into the US market. Not only have increasing imports given buyers another supplier choice, they have constrained price growth among US vendors, which must compete with lower-cost goods.
During the next three years, the average price paid for auxiliary generators is forecast to increase further. Although the pace of price growth will quicken, rising imports will largely keep this growth in check. This stable growth will enable buyers to better plan and budget future expenses.
