EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. The UK market for flood defence and control is estimated to have grown by some 21 percent in value terms during the review period. The market has continually increased during this period. MSI believe that growth in market value is largely attributable to government investment into flood defence and control.

2. The flood defence and control engineering sector continued to account for the largest proportion of the market. Indeed, this sector represented 74 percent of the total market value in 2001. The flood defence and control consultancy sector accounted for the second largest proportion followed by flood defence and control products sector.

3. Central and local government represented the largest end user sector for flood defence and control services and products during the review period. MSI believe that this is largely attributable to the level of public expenditure invested into flood defence and control. Other end user sectors include property developers, domestic and commercial & industrial end users.

4. The largest levels of expenditure occurred in England & Wales in 2001. Indeed, some 96 percent of public and private expenditure originated from England & Wales. However, the largest increase in public and private expenditure on flood defence and control occurred in Scotland in 1999 and 2000.

5. MSI have identified the following factors as those which principally affect demand in the UK flood defence and control market: ·

government expenditure ·
climate change ·
rainfall ·
economy ·
insurance claims ·
construction ·
price ·
geographical location ·
sales and marketing activity

6. MSI believe that the UK market for flood defence and control will continue to increase in value between 2002 and 2006. Indeed, an increase of some 36 percent in real terms is expected to occur. MSI believe that flood defence and control engineering will represent the largest proportion of the market. However, the strongest rates of growth are expected to occur in the flood defence and control product sector. Modern products are forecast to be the main driving force of growth in the sector.

7. The following factors are believed to be critical to the success of companies operating in the UK flood defence and control market: ·

adaptability ·
multi-disciplined service ·
value added service ·
adherence to legislation and regulation and standards ·
innovation ·
research and development ·
attaining certification and accreditation ·
marketing

Trade sources report that the flood defence and control products industry is a relatively new industry, as a result there have been many new entrants. However, some new entrants have been forced out due to the infancy of the industry. Indeed, there has been much consolidation in the engineering and consultancy industries.
