EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MSI estimate that the value of the UK market for cabling and wiring increased by 6 percent during 2000 to reach £1.26 billion (€2.12 billion). The market is estimated to have increased by 24 percent between 1996 and 2000, primarily as a result of increased demand for specially constructed cables capable of carrying ever-increasing volumes of data for computer and multi?media devices.

Energy cables are estimated to have accounted for the largest proportion of the UK cabling and wiring market throughout the review period, accounting for 38 percent of the market in 2000. Telecommunication cables and data & control cables accounted for 31 percent and 25 percent of the market respectively, whilst the remaining 6 percent of the market was accounted for by winding wires. However, the proportional importance of the energy cables sector declined during the review period while the telecommunication cables sector and the data and control cables sector both increased in proportional importance.

The UK market for cabling and wiring is principally affected by:

The UK market for cabling and wiring is forecast to increase by 23 percent between 2001 and 2005, with the strongest growth occurring in the early part of the forecast period. This is a reflection of the expected trends in UK construction output and economic growth during the period.

MSI has identified a number of factors that are critical to the success of companies operating in the UK market for cabling and wiring. These include:

· prices · compliance with UK and EU specifications and directives · offering short lead times · acquisition of critical size · enhancement of reputation and brand awareness · provision of product information and guidance for specifiers · development of new and innovative products · investment in plant and machinery · formation of closer relationships with specifiers and end users · offering additional services

The UK cable making industry is highly concentrated, with the leading three manufacturers accounting for an estimated 40 percent of the value of the UK cabling and wiring market in 2000. MSI believe that the leading three UK manufacturers at the time of writing were:
