Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
Average vendor risk in this market is at a low level. This market has reached mid-maturity, which is beneficial to buyers because demand growth is stable and they can better anticipate price trends, thus easing purchasing decisions.
Market share concentration is high, as there are an estimated 700 providers of crisis management services, most of which are small, privately-held enterprises. Despite the size and client base of the larger players in the market, low barriers to entry have caused the number of suppliers to rise, thus, price-based competition has intensified, benefiting buyers.
The supply chain risk for crisis management services is moderate. Because suppliers of crisis management services require office space, office supplies, furniture, and software to provide their services, the risk of supply disruptions from upstream suppliers is minimal; however price-based competition among the suppliers of office supplies grants vendors greater negotiation power, thus hurting buyers.
The United States is a net importer of computers, meaning it imports more computers than it exports. While lower manufacturing costs abroad drive down prices for imported computers, relying on imports can lead to potential shortages or price increases if there are supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, or global crises
