Who Buys Flow Control and Treatment Equipment?
Sales calls, advertising and exhibiting by air, gas, liquid, water flow control and equipment suppliers are all predicated on certain assumptions relative to the identity of the decision maker for the product being sold. McIlvaine analyses in N064 Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Market show that there is a continuing shift in responsibility. The following trends are clear:
• The divide between how decisions are made on commodity vs. engineered products widens,
• Decisions for a specific engineered product are concentrated in fewer individuals,
• The total number of decision makers increases due to the increasing number of product categories which are purchased,
• The importance of face-to-face contact is diminishing,
• The reliance on life cycle cost rather than initial cost increases,
• The challenge to assimilate the needed knowledge to make buying decisions continues to grow.
Commodity vs. Engineered Products: Decisions on commodity products continue to be made by the purchasing department. They are concerned about reliability of supply and cost, but rarely need input from other departments. On the other hand, the complexity of engineered product and particularly those which can impact the company’s quality control are likely to be made with greater input from engineering and operating management and less on purchasing.
Purchasing people expect to be reactive and respond to seller inputs. So direct sales contact, sales leads and similar tools gain in importance. Those making decisions on engineered products tend to be proactive and now tend to make decisions over longer time spans. Gone are the days when the foreign delegation would attend the Tri Annual ACHEMA fair and have to make major decisions on the spot. These decisions are now forged over time and from a number of sources. The supplier who waits for the sales lead or formal specification is in difficulty.
Concentration of decision making in fewer individuals. Growth of large companies and the trend toward internationalization result in key product decisions being made by a few individuals. An engineer at Intel may make high efficiency filter selections for semiconductor facilities throughout the world. A valve expert at Petrobas will make key decisions about severe service valves which may influence the selection of hundreds of thousands of valves per year.
Another factor in the continuing concentration of decision making is the rapidly growing amount of knowledge which may be relevant to the decision. Niche experts are needed to keep up with this knowledge explosion.
Increasing numbers of decision makers. The knowledge explosion dictates that pump and valve decisions be made by separate individuals. The specialist on subsea valves will not be involved in decisions on valves for LNG plants. The engineer making scrubber decisions for EON will not be making the decisions on products to upgrade precipitator transformer rectifier sets.
With more and more decision makers each influencing greater numbers of purchasing decisions, it becomes a major challenge for suppliers to reach the right person at the right time. Understanding of the inner workings of the target companies becomes more important than obtaining the specification for the latest project. If the expert does not already have you on the “short” list, early access to a specification is not valuable.
Face-to-face discussions diminish in importance. A new generation of decision makers who is constantly communicating digitally has less time for face-to-face discussions and is relying on alternatives for critical decisions. Personal relationships will always be important but they are now complemented by many other communication tools.
Greater reliance on life cycle cost rather than initial price. In the past it has been difficult to make life cycle cost comparisons between competitive products. The access to reliable comparisons is resulting is increasing use of this tool.
The challenge to assimilate needed knowledge. Knowledge continues to expand and the human brain does not. The purchaser must now rely on niche experts who can keep up with the latest developments. The seller has to create new routes to supply the niche expertise. The local sales representative cannot deliver it and the customer cannot supply it. Sellers who effectively address this need have a substantial advantage.

United States
U.S. economic growth accelerated in the second quarter as a pick-up in consumer spending offset the drag from soft business spending on equipment, suggesting a steady momentum that could bring the Federal Reserve closer to hiking interest rates this year.
Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.3% annual rate, the Commerce Department said recently. First-quarter GDP, previously reported to have shrunk at a 0.2% pace, was revised up to show it rising….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Canada
Canada’s economy sank further into contraction in May, shrinking for a fifth straight month as the oil shock takes its toll on the energy producing nation.
The five-month decline marks the longest slump since the 2008-2009 recession, and virtually guarantees output shrank for a second straight quarter. The reading vindicates Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz’s July 15 decision….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
ASIA
China
The latest growth numbers show that China's economy is trundling along, expanding at a pace that is slightly faster than analysts expected.
Gross domestic product expanded by 7% in the second quarter, compared to the same period last year, according to data released by China's National Bureau of Statistics. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
India
Maintaining a bullish stance on the Indian economy, Japanese brokerage Nomura projected an 8% GDP growth for the current fiscal year while retaining its Sensex target at 33,500 by December. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Indonesia
Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.67% in the second quarter of 2015, lower than 2014's second quarter figure of 5.03% and 4.72% growth in the first quarter of 2015, the country's statistics bureau said.
The Q2 GDP growth is its slowest since 2009 and Indonesia's economy grew 4.7% during the first half of 2015. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Malaysia
Standard Chartered Bank expects Malaysia’s economy to grow 4.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) for the second quarter of 2015 (2Q15), lower than the gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 5.6% in 1Q15, due to the impact of the goods and services tax that was implemented in April.
In a note, the bank said consumer and business sentiment had probably weakened in 2Q15 compared with the preceding quarter, but manufacturing and mining production were likely stronger in 2Q15 due to positive net external demand. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Singapore
Singapore's final second-quarter gross domestic product likely contracted 4.6% from the previous quarter on an annualized basis, in line with the government's earlier estimate, a Reuter’s poll showed.
The median forecast in a Reuter’s survey of 11 economists also showed that GDP probably expanded 1.5% in the April-June quarter from a year earlier, less than the 1.7% in the advance estimate. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Taiwan
Taiwan in the second quarter didn’t come close to reaching the government’s GDP growth forecast issued only in May, underscoring pressure from the easing expansion in mainland China’s economy and inventory build-up in the electronics industry.
Taiwan’s GDP rose by 0.64% in the three months to June, less than a projected increase of 3.05% issued in May, the Cabinet’s statistics office said. A 9.8% drop in exports in the second quarter dragged down GDP and manufacturing, the government said. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Czech Republic
The Czech National Bank (ČNB) improved its GDP growth estimate for this year to 3.8% from the previous 2.6% and downgraded its estimate for next year to 2.8% from May's 3.2%, according to a presentation ahead of the bank's press conference.
The ČNB expects lower inflation — 1.6% in Q3 next year and 1.8% in the last quarter of 2016, while its previous forecast put the values at 2% and 2.1%, respectively. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Russia
Sanctions linked to the Ukraine crisis could end up costing Russia 9% of its gross domestic product, the International Monetary Fund said recently. Russia's economy is showing signs of stabilization after slumping under pressure from Western financial sanctions and Russian counter-measures.
Low international prices for its oil exports have added to pressure on the ruble and government finances. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
United Kingdom
The British economy grew by 0.7% over the past three months, according to figures released by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR).
Figures from the London-based economic think-tank showed that growth in Britain's GDP in the three months ending in July was 0.7%, the same as in the three months ending in June. ….. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
