Average vendor risk is low due to a reliable source of demand from regulations that necessitate first aid kits in the workplace.
The relatively standardized nature of first aid kits, which must comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements, makes product differentiation across market suppliers minimal. As a result, it is difficult for any single supplier to absorb a sizeable share of the total market, thereby contributing to a low level of market share concentration.
Supply chain risk has been elevated to a medium level as medical supply manufacturers have had difficulty keeping up with the surging demand for their products. While first aid kits are expected to remain available, delays in large orders are possible due to shortages of certain kit components.
The United States is a net importer of first aid kits, which means it imports more first aid kits than it exports. Buyers sourcing first aid kits internationally should be mindful of increased delivery times, higher shipping costs and the potential for shipping delays.

Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Order Value and Customer Retention Rate. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Quality and other factors.
KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
---|---|---|---|
Average Order Value | Total revenue Number of orders | The average order value represents the revenue generated from the average order. This KPI is particularly useful for high-volume buyers. A higher average order value indicates that the supplier is able to provide a large volume of first aid kits. | |
Customer Retention Rate | Number of customers at start of period Number of customers added within period | Customer satisfaction represents customers’ overall satisfaction with a company. Since this market is highly fragmented and buyers face low switching costs, a higher customer retention rate signifies a higher-quality product. | |
