Effectively pricing spare parts remains a substantial challenge for machine manufacturers, as an estimated 73% of commodity parts are sold below their optimal price points. Traditional pricing models, such as cost-plus and value-based pricing, exhibit significant limitations in this evolving market. To navigate these challenges, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) must adopt market-based pricing strategies. This approach not only enables them to enhance their parts business but also accelerates revenue growth and cultivates stronger customer loyalty.
