Strategic Sourcing Guide to Audio-Frequency Amplifiers Procurement

Overview

The market for Multimedia Equipment and its sub-segments such as Audio-Frequency Amplifiers are at an interesting intersection. Several factors in the value chain of Audio-Frequency Amplifiers, such as labor cost, logistics, and energy costs are driving up the procurement costs.

The global industry has seen a gradual increase in labor cost due to several factors, such as shortage of a trained workforce, increase in minimum wages, regulations around employee benefits and declining appeal for what have been traditionally called unskilled jobs. As the employee expenses increase, suppliers are compelled to pass some of this increase to their buyers by charging higher prices.

Many suppliers are trying to enhance the efficiencies and productivity within their operations through investment in new technologies and an overhaul of processes. Some of these initiatives are likely to influence their cost structure adversely till the time they recover their investments. However, a successful implementation of these programs can benefit them with a better cost proposition in the longer run.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Audio-Frequency Amplifiers is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.
