Reshaping the UK Water Industry
Over the past decade, the water industry has
undergone privatization and comparative regulatory
competition. This has changed the way the water
market operates. The average price of water paid by
the consumer has fallen considerably, and
speculation is rife about the potential for further
competition outside of the regulatory framework.
Datamonitor's report "Reshaping the UK Water
Industry" , examines the full implications of
competition in this increasingly dynamic industry.
The report will provide you with a detailed analysis
of the competitive opportunities that exist now and in
the future. These include the possibilities for new
entrants - which sectors of the water market they will
target and why?
Close attention is given to the growing opportunities
in the outsourcing market, which Datamonitor
believes to be the most likely way in which
competition will develop.
The report answers key questions such as:
- How soon will competition extend to the domestic
and Small-Medium Enterprise sectors of the
market?
- What are the potential threats to your customer
base, and where are these threats coming from in
each of the market sectors?
- What are the opportunities and pitfalls of
outsourcing?
- Which barriers and drivers will impact the value
chain?
- What is the value by market sector of your
competitor's business?
- What are the opportunities for developing add-on
services and energy management solutions?
- What is the likely switching rate by market sector
under competitive conditions, and how can
switching be reduced in your region?
