A bright future W
A bright future
elcome to the March issue of Electrical Wholesaler.
W recent report from AMA Research.
The UK electrical accessories market has returned to growth more quickly than expected after the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, seeing an estimated 8% growth in 2021, according to a recent report from AMA Research. This is encouraging news as we near the end of Q1 2022, and hopefully marks the beginning of the end of the economic ill-effect of the pandemic for our sector. Growth last year was limited by supply chain disruption and material shortages, but the continued growth in construction output - not to mention increasing demand for EV charging units, home automation systems and energy efficie retrofits - makes for a positive outlook. Sprin is on its way, and the future looks bright for the electrical market.
