Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

"The UK Electricals Market 2017-2022", is part of GlobalData Retail’s sector analysis series, providing a detailed analysis of the electricals market, with value and volume forecast up to 2022. The report provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the UK market, evaluating major trends, consumer attitudes and an in-depth analysis of key market players.

The UK electricals market will experience limited growth over the next five years. Price inflation coupled with an uncertain economic climate will dampen demand for electrical goods, particularly for discretionary purchases and upgrades. As a result electrical purchases will become more considered and consumers will be more likely to wait for promotional periods such as Black Friday in order to make their purchases.

The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the following –
– Key issues in the market and success strategies
– Market sizing by category and growth forecasts
– In-depth profiling of major retailers including market share and outlooks
– Thorough analysis of five key electrical brands
– Consumer analysis detailing how, where and why consumers are buying electrical products.

Scope

– Online electrical sales growth continues to outperform offline growth, in part as a result of major online pureplays AO.com and Amazon outperforming the market therefore shifting more sales away from stores. Both retailers have succeeded due to their highly competitive delivery propositions making them the go-to choice for distress electrical purchases. As offline sales continue to decline retailers will need to further incentivise consumers back into stores for example through in-store events and highly knowledgeable staff.

– In the next five years the brown goods market will gain some incremental growth from smart home products, in particular smart speakers such as the Amazon Echo and Google Home. These products have made smart home technology more affordable and accessible to consumers. In contrast, the TV market is forecast to decline over the next five years as innovation in the market such as OLED and 4K technology is failing to encourage consumers to upgrade, viewing less expensive HD TVs as an acceptable alternative. The challenging TV market, along with other poor performing categories such as optical equipment and visual players, will result in an overall decline in the brown goods market out to 2022.

– Overall penetration for consumers who shopped for electrical goods in the past 12 months increased, including among less affluent shoppers. This increase was in part due to the success of the 2016 Black Friday event, with widespread discounting tempting consumers to make electrical purchases. The Black Friday event was even stronger last year as shoppers were aware of impending price increases and saw Black Friday as the last chance to purchase these goods at the lowest prices.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
