World Electric Power Equipment

SUMMARY

Global demand to rise 4.4% annually through 2011

World transmission and distribution electric power equipment demand is forecast to rise 4.4 percent per year through 2011 to $105 billion. The largest regional markets for electric power equipment will remain the Asia/Pacific region and North America, with Western Europe also important. While the main product categories -- transformers, and switchgear and switchboard apparatus -- will register similar gains, certain products within these categories will perform more favorably than others.

Industrial and commercial market to see best gains

Strongest gains in demand for electric power equipment are forecast for the industrial and commercial sector. Demand in the electric utilities sector will continue to see the slowest gains, a result of deregulation in the electricity sectors in virtually all parts of the globe. Competition from industrial cogeneration, independent power providers (IPPs) and renewable energy sources will force utilities to become more competitive via a combination of privatization, production cuts, and electricity purchases from IPPs and industrial producers with surpluses.

Study coverage

It presents historical demand data for 1996, 2001 and 2006 plus forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by electric power equipment product, market, and global region, as well as for 17 countries. This study also considers market environment factors, assesses the industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 26 industry competitors worldwide.
