Summary

Introduction

Datamonitor's Market Competitive Intensity Index (MCI) is a robust framework for measuring and benchmarking the development of competitiveness and market conditions in a range of gas and electricty markets. The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework; Supplier Push and Customer Pull.

Scope

Insight into the current levels of competitiveness in the gas and power markets of the EU 27 and 6 related markets. Analysis of the commercial opportunities and threats in the selected markets both currently and in 2010. A benchmarking of the factors driving competition and market entry in the gas and power sectors of the selected markets.

Highlights

Datamonitor's MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of utility Market Competitive Intensity. MCI scores are calculated using two different methods. The first the simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall competitive intensity. The second the multipliative method is more complex. It prevents markets with an overly wide spread of underlying raw scores from exerting undue influence over or skewing the final result.

Reasons to Purchase

Assess the competitive environments of gas and power markets both now and in the future. Gain insight into value chain factors driving market competitiveness and how each individual part of the chain will evolve as competition develops. Screen future market entry plans against the MCI scores to highlight key areas of potential risk and opportunity. .
