Auxiliary Generators Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- Auxiliary Generators have a buyer power score of 3.0 out of 5. This score indicates a mixed power balance between buyers and suppliers, with neither party commanding an overwhelming amount of leverage when it comes to negotiating supply agreements.
Over the past three years, the price of auxiliary generators has been rising thanks to a postrecession pickup in demand 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 backup, emergency power for these and other structures. “Also diminishing buyer power is the limited availability of substitute products,” says IBISWorld research analyst Sean Windle. “Portable generators and inverters, while providing a reasonable alternative for limited residential situations, are not equipped to handle the large power requirements of commercial and industrial applications.”
Despite steady price growth and higher demand over the past three years, and despite the absence of any reasonable substitute products, “buyers enjoy a range of favorable negotiating conditions,” Windle says. “First, market share concentration among the supplier base is low, giving buyers a variety of options from which to choose. These options include manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.” Current major suppliers include Generac Power Systems, ABB Ltd., General Electric Company, Cummins Inc. and Emerson Electric Co. In addition to more supplier options, rising imports have brought more comparable, lower-price foreign goods into the US market. Not only have increasing imports given buyers another supplier choice, it has constrained price growth among US vendors, which now have to compete with lower-cost imports. Although the pace of price growth is projected to pick up in the next three years, rising imports will largely keep this growth in check. This stable growth enables buyers to better plan and budget future expenses. For more information, visit IBISWorld’s Auxiliary Generators procurement category market research report page.
