Heat Detectors Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 03, 2014 -- Heat detectors have a buyer power score of 3.9 out of 5. This score indicates significant negotiation power for buyers. Heat detection products are mass-produced and homogenous between suppliers. “Buyers benefit from low market concentration, which gives them many suppliers to choose from,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst, Kevin Young. The growing availability of inexpensive imports from low-wage countries helps to keep prices low by pressuring domestic manufacturers to limit price increases to compete. Furthermore, heat detector price changes have been temperate and stable despite significant volatility in some upstream inputs and downstream demand. Stable pricing allows buyers to budget for heat detector purchases with confidence because stark price increases are unlikely.
The cost of ownership for heat detectors is low, allowing buyers to install products with no risk of incurring great cost throughout product lifespan. Switching costs are also low, allowing buyers to easily seek and engage with new suppliers in the event that the product or arrangement from their current supplier becomes unsatisfactory. Buyers are advised to investigate the possibility of bundling purchases of heat detectors with other goods required for the buyer's business.
Despite these factors, some market trends have been detrimental to buyer negotiation power. Rising input costs slightly decreased buyer power during the past three years as suppliers increased prices to compensate. “This trend is expected to continue in the three years to 2017 as heightened investor confidence and demand for manufactured goods further boost demand for upstream inputs and these hikes are passed down to buyers,” says Young. The cost of plastics and resin depends heavily on the price of crude oil, a highly volatile input subject to political strife and fluctuating supply. Sudden shocks in the price of oil can significantly increase costs for manufacturers, and in turn, heat detector prices for buyers. Major vendors include The Home Depot, Lowe’s Companies Inc. and Honeywell International Inc. For more information, visit IBISWorld’s Heat Detectors procurement category market research report page.
