SUMMARY OF REPORT CONTENTS
This first edition of the fire & security equipment contractors' market report

and leading players. The market's recent performance is assessed, while

The health of the fire & security equipment contractors market is directly
related to the performance of the UK building and construction sectors,
primarily influenced by new-build. Until late 2007/early 2008, the UK economy
experienced an unprecedented period of growth, underpinned by a buoyant
housing market, low inflation and strong consumer spending. This buoyant
market underpinned growth in the market between 2004 & 2007, reaching an
estimated £3.5 bn in 2007.
In 2008/09 the market came under significant pressure as a result of the
downturn in new build in both the non-domestic and housing markets. As a
result, in 2009 it is estimated that the market was worth around £3.25
bn at installed prices. Recovery in some key end-use sectors reduced the level
of decline in 2010, although sectors such as commercial and retail continued
to suffer. The market was estimated to be worth around £3.2bn in 2010.
End-users have become increasingly focused on the overall lifecycle cost of a
system including product, installation, operational costs, servicing and
management costs. This is being driven by the economic situation and the
pressure on budgets. Pricing is therefore a key issue for the contractors.
The fire & security equipment contractors market is fragmented comprising
mainly of small companies and only a few companies operating nationally.
Recent tough trading conditions have driven many companies to undertake a
range of initiatives including cost-cutting exercises, cutting jobs and
competitive pricing, with some operating around or just above cost price.
The fire and security equipment contractors have fared better than some other
contractors involved in construction, with markets such as the roofing
contractors market declining significantly during the recession. The fire and
security equipment contractors' market benefits from ongoing services, such as
testing and servicing, which are required by law in some products in this
market (such as fire equipment).
