The electrical wholesalers market has grown during the period 2016-2018, with growth in wholesalers’ turnover (but not profitability) due to development of new products and markets and improving economic conditions. The situation is expected to remain moderately positive in 2019 driven by positive, if slowing, growth within construction in the private sector, wider use of electrical and electronic products, technological developments and an ongoing trend towards the use of energy efficient products and systems. However, uncertainty over economic conditions regarding the impact of Brexit means that forecasts remain modest.
