Global Industry Forecasts > Quarterly Industry Forecasts > Utilities

Utilities output has been struggling over the past year, in line with wider weak industrial production feeding through to weak electricity demand. Similarly utilities firms have held off on investment, particularly in the US. Other key developed countries, such as the UK, Germany and France, have similarly stalled demand as industrial production has struggled, however investment in electricity grids to allow renewable technology to be added to the energy mix has offset this.
