Supplier Intelligence:
Measuring Vendor and Market Opportunities
In today's increasingly competitive marketplace, more and more companies are relying on international sources to procure raw materials and fabricated parts. The critical decision to pick a supplier(s) is not made on price alone. Companies must also consider capacity, availability, reliability, quality, and financial viability when making these important decisions.
Strategic sourcing and associated risks are all influenced by the environment in which a supplier operates. IHS Global Insight can help you identify attractive sourcing opportunities, while avoiding potentially precarious supply situations, by evaluating companies and the financial, economic, and regulatory backdrops in which they operate. Our supplier assessment studies are detailed customized consulting engagements tailored to help you fully understand market fundamentals, key players, and the economic viability of select segments. Our insight can help identify those suppliers least susceptible to collapse amidst the reigning global economic uncertainty.
IHS Global Insight recently completed a supplier intelligence analysis of the global ammonium nitrate industry for a large mining company with global operations. The analysis addressed questions such as:
- What is the estimated size and growth of the market and what is the outlook for supply and demand?
- Who are the primary suppliers for this industry and what is their financial position?
- Which suppliers are better positioned for the current economic downturn?
- What is the price outlook for the primary input costs—ammonium and natural gas?
- Given all of the information above, what is the buying outlook for ammonium nitrate?
