installation market. This is done 4 times per year, by means of 700 phone

interviews (per quarter) with registered electrical installation companies,

divided over the 7 major European markets.

THE RESEARCH TOPICS

Quarterly theme topics in 2020:

Q1: Electrification

Q2: Certification and circularity

Q3: Services in the installation sector

Q4: Pricing

COUNTRY SCOPE(number of interviews conducted)

(100)

Fixed part: Economic developments of the installation companies in

Europe (order book and turnover development)

About target group & methodology

Surveying electrical installation companies…

… selected from a country-representative database

… through phone interviews, by native-speaking agents

… weighing the results based on company size groups

Interviewed companies need to provide electrical installation services, but they may also do

other activities in addition (HVAC, plumbing, etc.). Most interviews are conducted with

owners/ directors or purchasers of these companies.

USP possesses an international database of electrical installation companies, which is

constantly updated. Respondents are thus not part of a fixed panel; the sample varies from

wave to wave.

Country-results are weighted so that all three company size groups* have an equal influence

on the total. As typically most interviews are conducted with small companies, we believe it

is important to correct in order for big companies to have an equal impact on the ‘total’

results. This way the results are not heavily influenced by many smaller companies.

Phone surveys are the best approach for obtaining a sufficient sample, in order to provide

insights which can be relied on. These phone calls are made by fixed fieldwork partners,

located in the respective countries.

* Group 1: 1-4 FTE; Group 2: 5-14 FTE; Group 3: 15+ FTE
