Strategic Sourcing Guide to Ammonium Chloride Procurement

Overview

The market for Environmental Goods and its sub-segments such as Ammonium Chloride are at an interesting intersection. Buyers are moving towards longer contract durations with suppliers of Ammonium Chloride to benefit from value-based discounts, integrated products and services, lower renewal cost and lesser expenses on contracting activities.

The global industry has seen a gradual increase in labor cost due to several factors, such as shortage of a trained workforce, increase in minimum wages, regulations around employee benefits and declining appeal for what have been traditionally called unskilled jobs. As the employee expenses increase, suppliers are compelled to pass some of this increase to their buyers by charging higher prices.

Regulatory changes are taking place more frequently and the changes impact multiple functions within an organization. Alignment of procurement practices and decisions with all the new regulations has now become highly challenging, especially when category managers are responsible to centrally procure for multiple regions with different regulations.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Ammonium Chloride is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.
