Tool Rental Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 29, 2015 -- The market for tool rental has a buyer power score of 2.8 out of 5. This score is a reflection of unfavorable pricing conditions in the market that have resulted in weakened bargaining power during the negotiation process. Daily rates for tool rentals have been increasing due to swelling demand from key buying industries. However, the low level of market share concentration and the market-based pricing model used in the market serve to aid buyers in the negotiation process. Suppliers in rental markets compete primarily based on price, so tool companies can only raise prices so high without losing customers. “By using one company's prices as leverage against another company, buyers will find that organizing favorable deals is possible,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Scott Winters.
In the past three years, tool rental suppliers have seen mounting demand for their products stemming from rising construction activity. In addition, many suppliers have been increasing prices in an effort to recoup losses they experienced immediately after the recession. “IBISWorld expects demand for construction materials and equipment to continue rising in the three years to 2017, which will push prices upward during the period,” said Winters.
Risk in the supply chain related to the procurement of steel has also weakened buyer power. Tool and other equipment manufacturers use steel as a primary input in production. When steel prices rise, consequently, the added cost is passed down from second- to first-tier suppliers, effectively raising the price of tool rental for end users. Because prices are forecast to rise at a considerable pace in the three years to 2017, buyers are advised to purchase tool rentals under long-term contracts as soon as possible or risk facing higher prices in the future. Major vendors include United Rentals Inc., Home Depot, Sunbelt and Lowe’s. For more information, visit IBISWorld’s Tool Rental procurement category market research report page.
