Research have recently published the 5th edition of the "UK Electricity
Generating Set Market (Up To 750 kVA) Market Report”. The report is
comprehensive, informed and up-to-date and represents an invaluable aid
to sales and marketing professionals involved in the industry.
Available to purchase for £625, the report analyses the UK market for
generating sets up to 750 kVA and is based on a combination of primary
and secondary research. The report analyses the market in terms of
market size, key sector trends, product mixes, market share, key
suppliers, customers and distribution channels.
There are four key product sectors included in the
report, which features gensets up to 7.5 kVA, 7.5-75 kVA, 75-375 kVA,
and 375-750 kVA. Each of these markets is reviewed, in total and by
product group, including statistical data, trends, forecasts, key
applications and suppliers, also distribution channels.
The UK genset market is forecast to benefit from
continuing positive trends to higher levels of construction growth,
and rising electricity consumption, with niche-specific growth
opportunities including on-site power in the construction equipment
rental sector, also the increasing demand for clean and secure power,
for example data network infrastructure, and disaster recovery, etc.
While many of these applications are likely to utilise generators above
750 kVA, in multiple unit configurations, opportunities are also likely
to occur for generators up to 750 kVA, with, in addition, a gradual long
term trend to the adoption of integrated power systems, reflecting value
added development in the overall genset market.
Positive genset sub-sector trends are identified in the
growing ‘no-mains’ portable accommodation sector, also OEM
applications for on-board generators for mobile elevating work
platforms, currently a buoyant area of the construction equipment
market.
Factors likely to have a negative influence on the
market include the high value of Sterling, impacting on the
competitiveness of UK manufacturers in overseas markets, also rising
and volatile commodity prices, for example steel, copper and zinc,
also oil, adversely impacting on manufacturing and operating margins and
profits. In addition, the general trend to larger generator sizes
may result in share migration to the over 750 kVA sector.
In overall terms, the continuing buoyancy of the
genset export trade is likely to underpin the level of activity of
the UK genset market with positive factors including global growth in
the oil and gas industry, also growth in basic utility infrastructure
demand in developing countries, for example Africa, the Middle-East, and
post-conflict reconstruction (and military applications) in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and the Balkans, etc.
AMA’s report also provides an
insight into future prospects for the
UK genset market
and states that although the UK market is not likely to experience
significant growth in 2007/08, it should show progressive growth, at a
nominal rate in the medium to long term.
The report includes the profiles of the main genset
suppliers with their respective market shares, with brief profiles,
market shares and commentary.
