The maturity of the electrical accessories market has meant that the general
trend since 2000 has been for moderate value increases. However, the market
has achieved annual value growth of 4-5% 2005-07, partly due to an improvement
in housebuilding and key commercial sectors but also due to an element of raw
materials price inflation.
The market has also benefited from a move to more integrated systems within
both the domestic and commercial sectors providing value growth in the upper
end of key sectors such as wiring accessories. However, the market remains
vulnerable to import penetration and resultant downward price pressures are
increasingly placing further pressure on UK based manufacturers' margins.
