Summary

Introduction

Evolving competitive dynamics are rapidly and significantly changing the face of the gas and power markets in the Asia Pacific region. As such, a timely and broadly based understanding of the market landscape is vital for players throughout the value chain. Central to this is an understanding of the exact stage of competitive development reached in each market, and how it is likely to change.

Scope

Up-to-date insight on market structures, regulatory developments, supply and demand balances and asset developments
Insight into current levels of gas and power competitive intensity benchmarked against 12 other Asia Pacific markets
Forecasts of how the nine metrics making up the competitive intensity scores will change by 2012.

Highlights

The MCI scores draw on nine underlying metrics grouped into three categories: Market Framework (Regulatory Effectiveness; Pricing Regime; Ease of Third Party Access), Supplier Push (Wholesale Fragmentation, Retail Fragmentation, Traded Market Maturity), and Customer Pull (Access to Market Information, Consumer Representation, Propensity to Switch)

Each of the Energy Market Landscape series provides a profile of both the relevant gas and power market. Issues examined include regulatory structures, player strategies and supply/demand dynamics.

Reasons to Purchase

Obtain up-to-date, relevant and standardized information on the Asia Pacific energy markets from a single source
Have a logical framework to monitor market developments and emerging trends, identify opportunities and plan strategies accordingly
Assess current and future gas and power market competitive environments by gaining insight into factors driving market competitiveness.

Competitive Intensity Analysis Overview
Datamonitor's Mci Index Offers A Robust Framework for Measuring The Development of Energy Market Competitive Intensity
The Mci Index Shows How Competitive A Particular Market Is. This Has Applications for Both New Entrants Seeking to Enter The Market, and Established Players and Former Monopoly Incumbents Seeking to Defend Their Market Share from New Entrants
The Mci Index Assesses Markets as They Stood in Early 2009 and Forecasts Conditions Likely to Be Prevailing in 2012
The Mci Assessment Draws on Nine Underlying Metrics Grouped into Three Broad Clusters: Market Framework; Supplier Push; Customer Pull
Each of The Nine Pillars Has An Assessment Scale to Allow for The Comparison of Diverse Markets (see Appendix for More Details)
