GET FREE SAMPLEEcosystem of the global PVC Foam category is intertwined with the larger parent market of Engineering Products and Equipment. Our category definition describes that overall Engineering Products and Equipment market includes all spend related to the provision of goods related to the operation of industrial and engineering services, including machines, equipment and supplies related to cranes, engines and machinery, measurement and testing, hardware and instruments.
Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Engineering Products and Equipment as well as PVC Foam procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Volatility in the prices of key inputs is creating multiple issues that impact procurement within PVC Foam category such as benchmarking and budgeting of the procurement costs. Procurement costs for PVC Foam are highly impacted by an increase in the costs associated with the value chain of PVC Foam, such as logistics, labor cost and energy. Additionally, outdated assets are also increasing the cost for suppliers. Technology is improving productivity and creating fresh demand. Convergence of data science, automation tools, 3D printing, robotics, AI and big data has opened up multiple possibilities to better serve customers at a lower operational cost. Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.
Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with PVC Foam procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market. For example, 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 PVC Foam 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. 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.
