Focus Group Research Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 22, 2015

Focus group research services have a buyer power score of 3.9 out of 5, reflecting a buyer’s moderate to strong ability to negotiate lower prices due to this market’s large number of suppliers and competitive nature. IBISWorld estimates that there are more than 36,000 vendors of focus group research services, which provides buyers with a substantial number of suppliers from which to choose. Of these, Nielsen Holdings and the Kantar Group are the two largest players. However, recent demand growth has slightly reduced buyer negotiation power.

In the three years to 2014, the average price for focus group research services has been growing slightly as the economy has improved from recessionary lows. “Price growth has been the result of increased demand from rising consumer spending, which has resulted in increased corporate profit, research and development (R&D) expenditure and total advertising expenditure, which all took a hit during the recession,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Jordan Weinstein. As these factors continue to rise during the next three years, businesses will invest in consumer research again, boosting demand and prices for focus group research services.

Price aside, buyer power remains significant due to low market concentration and a high level of competition among suppliers. “Low concentration ensures buyers have a wide variety of capable suppliers from which to choose no matter the service’s level of specialization, forcing suppliers to lower prices to compete for business,” Weinstein says. However, specialization and complexity greatly affects buyer power; buyers in need of highly complex and specialized research solutions have far less buyer power than those that conduct more standardized research.

Law Firms in the US Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated

Post author By darune123
Post date December 15, 2014

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 14, 2014

Participants in the Law Firms industry range from sole practitioners to full-service legal firms mostly serving corporate clients. Industry growth has been modest in the five years to 2014, as cost-weary businesses declined to pursue outside legal counsel. From 2010 through 2014, revenue is expected to increase.

However, Law Firms industry revenue is expected to increase at a more robust rate in 2014. As the economy continues to improve, the Law Firms industry will benefit from higher corporate profit margins and increased corporate activity. IBISWorld Economic Analyst Stephen Morea says in the updated report “an increase in initial public offerings (IPOs) and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) will continue to improve revenue for the industry’s top firms, which receive the bulk of their revenue from major corporate clients.” Additionally, a rise in business formation will expand the clientele for law firm services, and a rebounding real estate market will bolster revenue for firms specializing in real estate law. Also, greater demand in labor practices and niche practices tied to high-growth sectors like technology and healthcare will boost overall industry revenue. Corporate litigation, however, has failed to show significant growth in recent years, which will continue to temper industry revenue growth in 2014, as large corporations rely more on in-house attorneys and increasingly seek value over reputation when selecting an industry law firm.

Industry revenue is projected to increase in the five years to 2019. The overall performance of the economy, an anticipated increase in corporate profit and an influx of new laws and regulations will aid revenue growth in the next five years. “Expected increases in consumer disposable income will also aid smaller industry participants by increasing demand for services like estate and trust planning,” Morea says. In addition, improving investor confidence will stimulate more activity in M&A and IPO markets, facilitating higher demand for corporate legal services.

Landscape Architecture & Design Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated

Post author By darune123
Post date November 2, 2014

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 02, 2014

Landscape architecture and design services have a buyer power score of 2.4 out of 5. This score reflects moderately poor negotiation conditions for buyers resulting from high demand, a low availability of substitutes and high product specialization within the market. Demand for landscape architecture and design services dropped during the recession, but it has been rising steadily during the three years to 2014, driving up prices for buyers. As demand is restored, buyers continue to lose negotiating power, even though prices are still below prerecession levels. Landscape architecture and design services provide buyers with customized solutions that untrained suppliers cannot easily produce. This limits the number of suppliers capable of offering the service, which, in turn, limits the number of vendors that buyers have to choose from and the extent to which supply can keep pace with demand. “Consequently, buyers are facing suppliers with limited incentive to negotiate or maintain lower prices,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Daniel Krohn.

Buyer leverage is projected to continue to shrink during the next three years as demand drivers such as business growth, the value of residential construction and government funding for universities rise and apply additional upward pressure on demand. Rising demand will offset competitor growth forecast for the next three years and further limit the amount of suppliers available to the buyer. “Buyer power is, consequently, projected to continue to be strained,” says Krohn.

Nonetheless, buyers maintain some leverage in the market thanks to low market concentration. Low market concentration increases the viability of top-tier suppliers and keeps barriers to entry in the market at bay. The landscape architecture and design market has, as a result, remained somewhat competitive despite recent surges in demand.

The complexity and size of the buyer’s project will impact the amount of negotiating power it has. Buyers with larger, more complex facilities will be better able to attract both large and small service providers, increasing the number of suppliers available to them, the value that suppliers are likely to put on their business and their buyer power. Major vendors include Hammel, Green & Abrahamson Inc., AECOM and Belt Collins.
