Strategic Sourcing Guide to X-Ray Table Procurement

Overview

Business practices within X-Ray Table market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Clinical Furniture market. 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.

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.

Providers are increasing their adoption of new tools and technologies to optimize efficiencies and reduce the time taken to launch products in the market. This is adding to their OPEX and will have an inflationary impact on the overall price paid by the buyers.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the X-Ray Table procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
