While the difficult trading conditions continued through recent years, there was a substantial rise in raw material prices, in particular copper, and this inflated prices more latterly, thus leading to an increase in overall market value, in 2011 in particular. Modest construction output growth and ongoing major public sector projects already committed or started prior to cuts, further supported the market in 2011. 2012 is likely to see marginal decline as public sector cuts begin to impact on construction levels significantly and as caution remains in the private sector, leading to a difficult year for construction output levels.

Areas of particular interest:

Continuation of acquisition strategy of some leading suppliers.
Wiring accessories supported by continuing demand for electrical appliances.
Cable sector boosted by increased demand for higher specification products.
Split-load consumer units and RCDs providing growth for domestic circuit protection.
