Cost saving opportunities in the IT peripherals market
The adoption of various cost-optimization levers helps buyers of IT peripherals realize direct cost savings and enhance category management and value benefits (including reduced procurement complexities).
Technavio procurement experts have segmented the cost saving opportunities in the IT peripherals market into the following value-enhancement opportunities:
- Adoption of technology
- Supplier Competition
- Adoption of negotiation strategies
- Optimization of procurement practices
- Bundling of services
Adoption of technology saving aspects
The adoption of technologies such as automation of entire assembly lines, use of analytical tools, standardization of cables and jacks, and recycling of e-waste will help to reduce costs to the extent of 10% of total category spend.
Due to an increase in environmental awareness, buyers are looking to adopt energy-efficient electronic peripherals. There is also a surge in demand for such devices due to firms voluntarily undergoing energy and green audits to boost their image.
Competition among suppliers saving aspects
Technavio analysts suggest competitive bidding among suppliers to enable price discounts and negotiations on value-added services such as customization, to help implement savings to the extent of 7%.
Market analysts have found that large organizations prefer engaging with suppliers that can offer customized peripherals to fulfill specific business requirements. For example, suppliers such as Dell and HP sell customized keyboards and built-to-order printers to cater to specific requirements of buyers.
Bundling of services saving aspects
One of the most opportunistic strategic cost saving levers in the global IT peripherals market is the need for consolidation of peripherals with software, service, maintenance, and repair. Buyers prefer to engage with suppliers that can be easily contacted in case of malfunction of peripherals such as printers, monitors, and projectors, as this reduces downtime and helps minimize the loss of productivity. For example, Lenovo resolves complaints within 24 hours if there is a Lenovo service station in the buyer’s city.
