Strategic Sourcing Guide to Market And Product Surveys Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Market Research market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Market And Product Surveys. Most suppliers of Market And Product Surveys are moving up the value chain and offering integrated services that go beyond just Market And Product Surveys. Buyers are increasingly collaborating with vendors who can offer one-stop solutions as they now have fewer suppliers to manage and can achieve greater cost savings that arises out of awarding a larger contract to a supplier.

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. Market And Product Surveys vendors are adopting starkly different business models and cost structures to address both the markets.

There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Market And Product Surveys market and they have traditionally enjoyed a premium in their pricing. However, Tier 2 suppliers are giving them a tough competition now as they can provide similar services at a lower cost. Many tier 2 suppliers achieve this parity by finding right talent at a relatively lower cost and maintaining lean operations without any frills.

Risks in Market And Product Surveys procurement

Market And Product Surveys procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Market And Product Surveys procurement. Some examples include:

Legal risks arise when the methods used violate a law of the land. Such risks lead to financial loss to the service provider as they pay huge penalties. It also leads to significant reputational damage to the service providers, thereby leading to a potential reduction in their client base
When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Market And Product Surveys
Contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms are not very common in the category but they do exist in certain situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question
