Industrial Wheels Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
PRWeb - Sat Mar 22, 3:02AM CDT
IBISWorld estimates that the market of industrial wheels has a buyer power score of 3.7 out of 5.0. This market allows some room for buyers to negotiate with suppliers, but economic trends are expected to hinder buyer power in the three years to 2013. Post-recession economic growth has caused wheel prices to rise steadily since 2009. From 2010 to 2013, wheel prices are expected to rise as global demand for wheels increases. "The market's anticipated stable demand is expected to reduce price volatility but hinder any incentive for suppliers to negotiate with buyers," says IBISWorld procurement analyst Scott Winters. "In the three years to 2016, however, prices of industrial wheels are forecast to decline, placing more negotiating power in the hands of buyers."
