Demolition Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) December 06, 2014

Demolition services have a buyer power score of 2.5 out of 5. IBISWorld market research analyst, Eric Delgado, says, "This score reflects pricing trends that are forecast to limit the buyer's ability to negotiate in six-year period to 2017." Other factors that negatively affect buyer power are demolition services' high level of specialization, the buyer's inability to use substitutes for most demolition jobs and the risks involved with switching providers. However, low market share concentration positively affects buying power.

While 2011 to 2014 marked a period of high demand volatility from the construction sector, price growth is anticipated to remain stable in the three years to 2017. "This trend is forecast to arise from stabilized demand for the redevelopment of brownfield sites, as well as an increase in government investment in infrastructure and institutional construction, which account for a significant share of revenue for suppliers of demolition services," says Delgado. This highly fragmented market also encourages price-based competition among suppliers, which benefits buyer negotiating power. However, as the economy continues to recover, demand from key downstream markets like nonresidential construction will increase, which will give contractors more flexibility to raise prices. Rising demolition machinery prices and employee wages will pressure demolition contractors' profitability in the three years to 2017. As a result, prices will likely increase further during this period and weaken buyer power overall. Major vendors in the market include LVI Services, Penhall and NorthStar Group Holdings LLC.

Because demolition work is a capital-intensive service in which safety is important, there are no viable substitutes for a qualified demolition contractor. Additionally, buyers that switch contractors mid-job will face high switching costs due to delays in project completion and new startup costs. Furthermore, the number of operators that have the capacity to complete large-scale projects is considerably limited. These factors negatively affect a buyer's ability to negotiate.
