The EMEA Market for Low Voltage Products - 2006 Edition

SUMMARY

The EMEA market for low voltage products was estimated to be in excess of $1.4 billion in 2004 and is forecast to grow at 3.6% over the forecast period 2004 to 2009. Highest growth is expected in the market for air circuit breakers (ACBs), whilst growth in the cam switch market is forecast to be negligible. The market is heavily influenced by the underlying development of the economy, however, there are also a number of product replacement trends that are influencing growth in this market.

These are some of the many findings from the latest IMS study of the EMEA market for low voltage products. The report provides market forecasts and analysis of the EMEA market for low voltage products, covering four product types including moulded case circuit breakers (MCCBs), air circuit breakers (ACBs), switch disconnectors & switch fuses and cam switches. A top level overview of the enclosed switch market is also included. For each of the above segmentations the report is further sub-divided by: nominal current range, breaking capacity (circuit breakers only), industry sector, geographic region and sales channel. A detailed analysis of these results, which are provided both in terms of revenues and unit shipments, is also included.

An analysis of the competitive environment is also provided, including market shares for 2004, as well as a matrix of companies active in the market.

This study is ideal for anyone looking for a detailed quantitative analysis of the EMEA low voltage products market. This includes manufacturers looking to enter the low voltage products market, or a particular product range in this market, as well as companies looking to break into new regional markets, as well as investment bankers and VC's.
