Utilities Construction Market Report - UK 2012-2016 Analysis
AMA Research, March 2012, Pages: 94
AMA Research has recently published the fourth edition of the report ""Utilities Construction Market Report - UK 2012 -2016 Analysis"". The report represents an informed, up-to-date and detailed review of the market and offers excellent value for money.
Key sectors covered include:
UTILITIES MARKET – construction output GB quarterly analysis of output & new orders, output by sector.
WATER, ELECTRICTY, GAS & TELECOMS - output, quarterly analysis, influences, forecasts.
PROCUREMENT AND KEY CONTRACTORS - EU Directives, recent contract awards, contractor profiles.
The utilities construction sector continues to offer growth opportunities and is likely to outperform the larger infrastructure market over the period to 2016, given the influence of the transport sectors which are faced by some significant cuts to budgets.
The water industry looks set for good growth over this period, buoyed by the current AMP 5 programme which will be focussed on maintenance and replacement of assets and improvements to drinking water quality, also the electricity sector is likely to see significant improvement in output for 2011 underpinned by contribution from ongoing renewals and replacement programmes. The impact of renewable construction is also likely to positively impact on the electricity sub-sector with wind farms in particular stimulating this sector and with the nuclear sector impacting in the medium to longer term future. In addition, prospects for the gas sector remain relatively positive with the likelihood of further onshore and offshore gas storage facilities needed to address the UK’s increasing need to import gas.
The report assesses these opportunities in the light of the current difficult economic situation and looks forward to review future prospects for the individual sectors of the industry.
Key issues of particular interest:
Performance of each of the key sub-sectors of the utilities market.
Performance of utilities sector against overall infrastructure market.
Performance 2004-11 and forecasts for 2012 to 2016, key influencing factors, effects of capital investment programmes.

The utilities sector comprises the water, energy and telecoms which were previously operated as state run monopolies but have been opened to private competition over the last 25 years. Construction output for the utilities sector for Great Britain in 2011 was £6.7bn having experienced 39% increase on 2009 following growth of 17% 2005-09. Market performance was due in part to good growth from the electricity sector which experienced a 20% rise in construction output for 2010.
Underpinning performance 2005-11 has been the level of capital spending within the individual sub-sectors particularly through 5 year asset management and renewals programmes for sectors such as water and electricity. However the utilities market has not been immune to recessionary pressures with revenues from both business and household customers having been affected by reduced demand for water and energy over the last 2 years.
The structure of the UK water industry is not uniform with greater levels of private company involvement in England and Wales compared with Scotland and Northern Ireland. Construction output in the water sector in Great Britain grew by 58% 2005-11 and sector value of £3.4bn in 2011.
The electricity sector in the UK also has major structural differences between Great Britain and Northern Ireland with the level of competition in the market in Northern Ireland having developed at a later stage than in Great Britain. Output for the electricity sector for Great Britain has been more volatile than the water sector growing from a low point of £665m in 2005 and increasing to £1.7bn in 2011.
Construction output for the gas sector remains difficult to estimate due to its inclusion in a “bundled” category of smaller infrastructure sectors. However, the refurbishment of the gas distribution network, the completion of inter-continental connectors and building of new gas storage facilities have all assisted in boosting output growth in recent years.
The telecoms sector is the most open of the utilities sectors in the UK with the regulator having removed pricing controls in 2006 since the market was viewed to be fully open to competitive forces. However, telecoms revenues have been squeezed over the last 12-18 months by increasing competitive pricing for mobile contracts and for faster broadband services – particularly when offered as a bundled service.
Current prospects for the utilities sector into the medium-term remain optimistic with output set to increase to around £7.8bn. Fundamental to this positive forecast remains the influence of the private sector within the utilities market which has left it relatively unscathed by central government capital budget cuts. Current forecasts indicate that the utilities sector is likely to outperform the larger infrastructure market over the period – given the influence of the transport sectors which are faced by some significant cuts to budgets.
