The products may also be used for life support, modification or replacement of part(s) of anatomy, conception control and disinfection of other medical equipment. Dynamics of the global Cartons market play out within this wider arena of Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies market. Therefore, our coverage of the Cartons category also operates within this broader boundary of the overall Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies market.
A changing ecosystem within the Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Cartons. Despite increasing costs on almost all fronts, suppliers are resisting a drastic price increase due to intense competition where market players are willing to increase their market share at the cost of profitability. Therefore, buyers can expect pricing status quo in most cases, or only negligible to marginal price increases in some cases.Recent cases of malpractices committed within the overall industry have increased the strictness of regulators within the overall industry. Suppliers now operate with a higher burden in the form of increased costs for compliance and data security as well as increased time to receive approvals for new solutions.Over the years, regional boundaries have blurred as suppliers foray into different continents, increase their capital expenditure and spend on cross-border M&A initiatives. The deployment of geographic diversification strategies through such consolidation initiatives has enabled the large suppliers to improve their performance and expand their business footprint.
As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Cartons category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Cartons procurement best practices. For example, Buyers should look to minimize the contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms. Although these clauses are not very common in the category, suppliers may still insist on them, especially in situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question. It is important for category managers to track and measure the performance of suppliers against a set of defined KPIs that are agreed upon during the contract negotiation phase. The performance of suppliers can also be linked to a portion of their fee that can be paid upon rendering of services in a satisfactory manner. Investing in benchmarking studies help category managers enhance their knowledge about market pricing or billing rates based on job roles and functions. This allows them to not only save costs but also negotiate with suppliers. For example, while negotiating on rates of bundled services, buyers can save significantly on a single service by cross verifying the rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.
