The European region currently dominates the global utilities industry, but Asia Pacific (APAC) is expected to lead the industry over the forecast period of 2012-2017. The overall market is estimated to reach US $4,372 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 3.9% over the next five years.

Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the global utilities industry market and presents its findings in “Global Utilities Industry 2012-2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.”

The global utilities sector provides services such as electric power, natural gas, and water supply as well as sewage removal through a permanent infrastructure of lines, mains, and pipes. The industry is fragmented with many players. The sector consists of electricity, natural gas, and water utilities. Electric utilities are the main segment of the global utilities industry. Population and economic growth, particularly in developing countries, are driving the demand for utilities.

Improving economic conditions, especially in emerging economic regions such as APAC, are expected to have a major impact on the industry. APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing consumption market based on its continued rapid economic growth. China and India are likely to play significant roles in rising energy demand globally.

Lucintel’s research indicates that decaying infrastructure creates a major obstacle that can contribute catastrophic increases in power failure rates, and enormous maintenance and replacement costs. Additionally, aging pipelines cause water loss through leakage and other operational issues. A mature work force presents another major challenge, as utilities companies require skilled labor.

This study provides a concise overview of the global utilities industry. The report considers only end-user volumes; that is, final consumption. This study does not include generation and transmission nodes in electricity; production and transportation in natural gas and water extraction is excluded. The report tracks three industry segments for four regions; thus, it tracks 12 segments of the global utilities industry.
