Executive Summary

The electrical wholesale market is estimated to have declined slightly in 2012, falling in value by 0.5% on 2011. Electrical wholesalers represent a key aspect of the supply chain in the electrical contracting industry and, to a lesser degree, the construction industry; they provide a vast range of products for electrical installations, as well as repair, maintenance and improvement (RM&I) work. While other end-users do exist — mainly within the industrial and public sectors — the vast majority of demand is ultimately dependent on construction output and, as such, this report includes an examination of building activity within the UK.

Electrical wholesalers stock an extremely broad range of products, including cables; wires; consumer units; distribution boards; switches; lighting; and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. The majority of such products are used in the electrical contractors market, a highly fragmented industry consisting of major multinational and national companies, alongside a huge number of independent contractors. As such, the electrical wholesale ...
... market has developed a network of outlets covering the entire UK, providing blanket coverage for both major organisations and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Two of the major determining factors of demand across the various product ranges distributed by electrical wholesalers are the Building Regulations and Wiring Regulations. Both pieces of legislation are continuously under review and can change regularly as building practices and standards within the industry develop. As such, it is vital that electrical wholesalers maintain extensive knowledge of the applicable regulations, and stock appropriate components and products. http://www.bharatbook.com/consumer-electronics-market-research-reports/electrical-wholesale-2013-market-report.html

Other trends affecting the industry include environmental considerations. With challenging EU and national targets regarding carbon reduction and energy efficiency, there is increasing focus by the Government on green technologies in the built environment. Of particular importance is the recently launched Green Deal initiative, allowing home-owners and private companies to install green technologies — such as power generation, insulation and energy-saving devices — at no upfront costs. With many Green Deal products requiring electrical installations, the initiative is expected to significantly boost demand for energy-efficient and carbon-saving electrical components and products.

In the short term, the electrical wholesale market is expected to exhibit extremely subdued growth, as uncertain economic conditions and public-sector spending cuts continue to affect demand within the construction industry. However, in the medium to long term, as both the national and international economies stabilise, and public-sector spending recovers, increasingly significant growth is expected across the electrical wholesale industry.
