Global Cost and Pricing Analysis and Data
|
|
Being the world leaders in an industry means thinking far ahead of the competition and proactively driving new business models through the supply chain – at a global level and at a fast pace. Formulating the strategy requires credible market intelligence and insight. Unfortunately, most of the data that is readily available for purchase is of unacceptably low-quality for senior executive decision-making. The Boston Strategies International approach leverages our Boston location to hire supply chain economists from leading universities, and through our role at The Economist and our access to over 200 postgraduates producing financial and economic information, we have the most reliable data in the world. Our methodology further relates the economic data to industry dynamics to drive industry outlooks. Boston Strategies International’s Industry Research reports contains analyses of demand, capacity, supply market dynamics, costs, prices, and strategic implications for buyers and sellers, typically over a 3-10 year horizon. We forecast prices, lead times, and capacities, and make specific sourcing recommendations. We compete with leading economic forecasting and consulting market research firms and win because our analyses are oriented toward supply chain implications, our proprietary quantitative methodologies are designed around volatility and risk, and we have onsite intelligence around the world.

Supply managers make assumptions about the future of supply markets every time they contract with suppliers, or choose not to. Understanding the outlook for key variables of a supply market such as lead time, capacity, price, and market competitiveness is critical to deciding the right price and contract term, yet few companies have a market intelligence process or reliable data. Even fewer agree on the right way to use this information if it exists. Boston Strategies International's supply market analyses highlight:
- Quarterly and yearly projections of demand, capacity, lead times, and prices
- Five year outlooks
- Coverage of suppliers in markets such as China, India, and Eastern Europe
