Abstract
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.
