Following the decline in 2008 and 2009 the market has started
to recover over the past 18 months, with the electrical
accessories market benefiting from product development and a
move towards more integrated systems providing value growth in
the upper end of key sectors. However, value growth is
currently largely driven by price increases rather than growth
in volume demand and recovery will be slow with the market
remaining vulnerable to import penetration and raw material
price fluctuations. It is likely that profit margins for
companies at all levels of the supply chain will remain under
severe pressure in the foreseeable future.
Areas of particular interest:
Continuation of acquisition strategy
of some leading suppliers.
Wiring accessories supported by
continuing
demand for electrical appliances.
Cable sector boosted by increased demand
for higher specification products.
Split-load consumer units and RCDs
providing growth for domestic circuit
protection.
Key supplier analysis and market shares.
Analysis of distribution structure and
channels, key trends and prospects.
Review of key legislation.
