LACK OF DIFFERENTIATION
Today we are faced with mass production and consequently always with the same offer of products. There are less and less original products that vary from the others in their appearance or applicability. Therefore the differentiation goes in the direction of extreme design.
UNSETTLED MARKET CHAIN
As regards "towel heater” radiators, the products hardly differentiate one from another and because the offer is continuously increasing the pressure on the final price is enormous. This means that the profit throughout the whole market chain: producer – distributor – seller – plumber – buyer is becoming lower and lower. The roles in the chain are not clear and the prices are not transparent.
NO CONTINUOUS STRATEGY
In the fight for survival on the market, companies are forced to adapt to pretentious market conditions and to seek simplified solutions. This nevertheless has the effect that they do not concentrate on the created value for the customer. The development of the products and the communication among the business partners is of secondary importance, and consequently the whole branch is impoverished.
