Panel Builders Market Reports Growth in 2008

Oct. 1, 2008 - PRLog -- According to MTW Research, a further 16% of panel builders indicated steady sales trends over the last 12 months, further illustrating a continued reasonable level of demand for specialist skills within the UK Building Industry.  

MTW’s new database highlights the substantial and continued level of fragmentation in 2008, coupled with a large number of independent companies active in the industry.  The database, which covers more than 90% of the UK Panel Builders market, also finds that around 40% of the industry is comprised of companies with less than 5 employees, highlighting the need for effective and accurate marketing tools in order for electrical product and component manufacturers to successfully grow sales to this sector.  

Whilst the UK Panel Builders market is set to experience a more difficult trading environment in the next 18-24 months from the decline in construction, a number of key end use sectors should continue to support the market in the short to medium term, according to MTW Research.  The utilities and energy sectors remain important markets for panel builders alongside public sector construction, all of which should underpin the market during the current economic downturn.  

MTW’s analysis also finds that more than 80% of the Panel Builders market is currently rated as ‘below average risk’, in terms of credit worthiness, reflecting the relative optimism in the industry at present despite the worsening macro-economic environment.  The Panel Builders industry overall remains in apparent good health and ready to weather more difficult trading conditions in the coming months.  

The new for 2008 database and mailing list is supplied as multi-use with full mailing and telemarketing details alongside senior purchasing information, employee bands, company and office type.  The listing is unique to MTW and represents a comprehensive marketing tool for increasing sales to the control panel building industry.  The database is available to purchase now for GBP 350 by calling 08456 524324, with further information & free samples available from the MTW Research website along with online ordering.
