Summary

US demand to grow 3.6% annually through 2011

US demand for electric transmission and distribution equipment is expected to increase 3.6 percent annually, approaching $21 billion in 2011. Increases will be supported by a healthy industrial environment coming out of the early 2000s economic downturn, and growth in nonutility power generation. In addition, the maturation of deregulation efforts and regulatory changes that ensure returns on investment in the electric grid will support demand from electric utilities.

Industrial, nonutility generators among fastest growing markets

The largest markets for electric transmission and distribution equipment are the electric utilities and industrial sectors, which together accounted for nearly eighty percent of the market in 2006. Growth in these markets will be supported by increasing electricity generation by independent power producers and cogenerators, combined with an improved outlook for capital spending by utilities and regulatory changes designed to ensure returns on investment in the electric grid. The ongoing deregulation of the electric power industry will continue to shift demand from utilities to industrial firms and nonutility generators (NUGs).

However, to the extent that increases in power generation result from NUGs purchasing existing generation facilities from utilities, the growth in NUG power production can overstate the benefit to the electric transmission and distribution equipment industry. The smaller government and institutional market will see the fastest increases through 2011, with gains supported by growth in transportation construction spending and government fixed investment. Both the commercial and residential markets will see below-average increases, with particularly weak prospects in the residential market due to the slowdown in residential construction. Still, the continuing penetration of consumer electronics and electric transmission and distribution product innovations will provide opportunities in residential applications.

Specialty transformers, switchgear to lead gains

The best opportunities will be in specialty transformers and metal-clad and metalenclosed switchgear. US demand for specialty transformers will increase 5.9 percent annually through 2011 benefitting from the improved outlook for machinery markets and industrial construction, as well as solid increases in nonresidential fixed investment. Metal-clad and metalenclosed switchgear demand will rise 5.7 percent per year through 2011, driven by an improved outlook for electric utility capital expenditures, a strong replacement market and technological innovations. Power circuit breakers and electric meters will also see solid increases.
