Business practices within Niobium market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Engineering Materials market. Suppliers of Niobium are moving up the value chain - both organically as well as through M&As. Their portfolios are increasingly being diversified with the objective of offering integrated solutions that go beyond just Niobium. Even buyers are engaging vendors who can act as a one-stop solution provider across their geographic footprint. Such strategic engagements can help buyers with savings associated with economies of scale and management of a much smaller supplier base. Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within Niobium category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs. Procurement costs for Niobium are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of Niobium, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers. As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Niobium procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Niobium procurement. For example, Buyers should assess the level of adoption of the latest technologies by suppliers to assess cost-saving opportunities and quality that can be provided by the latter. For instance, the adoption of technologies such as cloud computing will enable suppliers to reduce their internal computing hardware requirements for operations such as CAD and CAM. This can, in turn, enable them to reduce their operating costs, thereby suppliers can offer products at lower rates to buyers. Buyers should engage with suppliers that repurchase used products at fair market value. This assists buyers to dispose of used products in a convenient manner. Also, during such repurchases, suppliers provide credits to buyers for future purchases. This reduces overall procurement costs for buyers. Buyers must have a clear understanding of the subcontracting policies, if any, of Niobium suppliers. Factors such as cost incurred, service quality, adherence to timelines, and regulatory compliance of subcontractors employed by suppliers should be carefully assessed prior to engagement.
