Wiring Accessories
Hotel wiring accessories market sparks opportunities for wholesalers
With the hotel wiring accessories market on an upward trajectory, Katie Plumstead, group marketing manager, Scolmore Group, looks at how wholesalers can capitalise on this growth.
A
ccording to recent industry reports, hotel refurbishments and new builds are on the rise across the UK and Europe, fuelled by both post-pandemic tourism growth and the push for greener, tech-enabled rooms. This has created a sustained demand for wiring accessories that not only meet the functional needs of a modern hotel but also enhance aesthetics and efficiency.
There are several factors influencing this growth and these include the demand for smart and energy-efficient solutions. The hospitality sector, especially hotels, is increasingly adopting smart wiring accessories (like smart sockets, USB- integrated outlets and automation systems). These innovations improve both guest experience and operational efficiency, supporting sustainable practices and energy management requirements. Another factor is the ongoing investment in hotel refurbishments and new builds, along with regulatory drivers for energy efficiency and fire safety, which are fuelling demand for advanced wiring accessories. Hotels in the UK are
also adding EV charging points and upgrading electrical systems to support sustainability goals, further strengthening market momentum for electrical installation products and accessories.
“Electrical wholesalers are in a prime position to benefit from a surging demand for stylish, durable and smart hotel wiring accessories.”
With the hospitality sector continuing to invest heavily in guest experience and sustainability, electrical wholesalers are in a prime position to benefit from a surging demand for stylish, durable and smart hotel wiring accessories. From elegant socket finishes to advanced energy-saving controls, the market is offering new opportunities for those ready to supply innovative solutions.
Some of the key trends in hotel wiring accessories include: • USB-A and USB-C outlets - as guests increasingly travel with smartphones, tablets
and laptops, integrated USB charging points are becoming standard. USB-C ports with higher power delivery are particularly desirable for rapid charging.
• Touchless and illuminated switches - touch-sensitive, backlit, or motion-activated switches are being used to enhance accessibility and usability, especially in low- light conditions.
• Modular and customisable plates: Manufacturers now offer modular systems that allow multiple functions such as USB charging, media connections, or hotel room controls, to be combined in a single fascia plate. This reduces clutter and improves aesthetics.
• Design-led products - hotels increasingly favour decorative wiring accessories in brushed metal, matte black, or contemporary finishes to align with interior design themes. Wholesalers stocking a diverse range can cater to both luxury and budget hospitality markets.
