The maturity
of the electrical accessories market has meant that the
general trend since 2000 has been for moderate value
increases. However, the market has achieved annual value
growth of 4-5% 2005-07, partly due to an improvement in
housebuilding and key commercial sectors but also due to an
element of raw materials price inflation.
The market
has also benefited from a move to more integrated systems
within both the domestic and commercial sectors providing
value growth in the upper end of key sectors such as wiring
accessories. However, the market remains vulnerable to import
penetration and resultant downward price pressures are
increasingly placing further pressure on UK based
manufacturers’ margins.
