Telemarketing Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 24, 2015 -- Telemarketing services have a buyer power score of 3.1 out of 5, signifying relatively neutral market conditions for buyers. According to IBISWorld market research analyst, Michelle Hovanetz, "Buyers benefit from a large number of suppliers and low market share concentration." There is little specialization among service providers and switching costs are low, also helping to boost buyer power. Alternatively, recent and forecast rising prices negatively impact buyer power, hampering buyers' ability to negotiate lower prices for telemarketing services.
Buyers must contend with the rising price of telemarketing services. Recent price increases have been moderate, stemming from rising demand. "As the number of businesses and corporate profit levels have grown in the years following the recession, more businesses have been able to afford telemarketing services, leading to price growth," says Hovanetz. During the three years to 2017, prices are expected to continue rising largely due to increased wage costs. Wages in countries like India and the Philippines are rising as their respective economies develop. Simultaneously, buyers have expressed a desire for domestic operators. The result is a growing number of operators within the United States and higher service prices because of the higher wages domestic suppliers require. Price growth negatively impacts buyers by limiting the likelihood of negotiation on the part of the supplier. Major vendors in the market include Arvato AG, Convergys Corporation and West Corporation.
There is a low level of market share concentration among telemarketing suppliers. Low concentration boosts competition, helping to moderate price growth. Additionally, switching costs for buyers are low, as long as they protect themselves through a service-level agreement that ensures satisfactory performance on the part of the supplier. Little specialization among service providers allows most buyers to switch suppliers without concern for special capabilities or drastic differences in service, also boosting competition, and, therefore, buyer power.
