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

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 05, 2015

Scaffolding services have a buyer power score of 2.8 out of 5, indicating a moderate level of negotiating power for buyers. During the three years to 2014, buyer purchasing power has been hurt mainly by rising service prices and moderate market share concentration, says IBISWorld research analyst Deonta Smith, adding that prices are heavily dependent on trends in the residential, commercial and industrial construction markets.

The values of residential and nonresidential construction have risen strongly during the three years to 2014 as a result of the rebounding economy. In addition, corporate profit has been growing at a moderate rate, leading to greater demand for scaffolding services. In turn, these trends have led to moderate service price growth and, thus, reduced buyer power. In the three years to 2017, scaffolding services prices are forecast to continue rising, especially as commercial construction activity accelerates. According to Smith, Growth in nonresidential structure starts will bolster demand for contractors, which will further restrain buyers' ability to negotiate for lower prices.

Conversely, buyers benefit from a high level of competition among the numerous small suppliers in the market, who are engaging in price-based competition to win new customers and maintain or gain market share. In recent years, this trend has allowed buyers to pit multiple suppliers against each other, limiting suppliers' ability to raise prices significantly. Current suppliers include Brand Energy & Infrastructure Services Inc., The Brock Group and Safway Services LLC. Buyers also benefit from low price volatility, which allows for more accurate budget forecasts. Nevertheless, buyers working on multiple construction projects are advised to seek long-term service agreements with key suppliers to lock in current rates before they increase further.
