This study, The World Market for Utility Power Cables, covers power cables used by electricity utilities worldwide: companies whose business is the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, whether they be in private, state or cooperative ownership. In the first ten chapters we analyse in depth the utility power cable markets of countries that are of particular interest because of current developments in those markets:
• Five countries with developed economies: Italy, Japan, Germany, the UK and the USA;
• Five countries with developing economies: Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Russia.
Chapters 11 and 12 include summary tables for global utility power cable demand, both historic (2001 to 2004) and forecast (up to 2010). The global market information covers all countries of the world, and our summary tables identify demand for major countries. These chapters also include information on the usage of key materials (conductors, insulation and sheathing) used in production of power cables.
