Strategic Sourcing Guide to Manufacturing Development Techniques Procurement

Overview

The market for Science and Environmental Research and its sub-segments such as Manufacturing Development Techniques are at an interesting intersection. Proliferation of supply pool in regions such as APAC is expected to intensify supply market competition. This will compel service providers to compete on price points to attract new buyers, which is expected to offset some of the increase in procurement cost arising out of increasing supplier OPEX.

New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Manufacturing Development Techniques, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

The market is rapidly showing signs of a great divide - at one extreme is a low-cost market with almost commoditized services and at the other end is the market for high cost specialized services. Manufacturing Development Techniques vendors are adopting starkly different business models and cost structures to address both the markets.

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