This report will provide valuable insights into the prefab of electrical installation among installers in Europe. These insights will be particularly valuable for manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and marketing departments targeting this group, as the information in the report can either validate current business development strategies or lay the foundations for new ones. Furthermore, understanding installers’ attitudes toward prefab will facilitate fact-based internal discussions without the need for custom research.

This report is based on 1051 successful quantitative telephone interviews conducted in the native languages of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. The report relies on a representative sample of installers. The interviewed companies provide electrical installation services, but they may also engage in additional activities such as HVAC, plumbing, and so on. Most interviews are conducted with owners, directors, or purchasers of these companies. This research is conducted quarterly, with reports covering various key marketing topics, including media orientation, BIM, prefab, sustainability, and many more.

The primary focus of this research is to provide key insights of installers’ involvement and needs regarding prefabricated electrical installations, installers’ opinions and attitudes toward the adoption of prefab. It highlights significant differences among the seven European countries covered, offering essential insights for each country. Additionally, the report includes a detailed view of the turnover and order book developments of the installers, along with other relevant details.
