ABS Energy Research. Energy looks set to continue as a highly competitive business in 2004. ABS Energy Research provides services to businesses in this competitive and constantly expanding market. The energy supply industry has changed in the past five years from being utility-based and engineering-driven. It has become a business driven by market forces, seeking advantage and profit in highly competitive markets. Monopolies have been broken into competitive business units. To survive and prosper in this environment the energy industry must employ the full range of marketing tools and techniques. Industrial manufacturing companies selling their products and services in this market also face vigorous competition. Electrical equipment, measurement devices and software, materials such as cables and lines, all face a new need for competitive marketing expertise. The right products must be designed to meet what the market demands, not what manufacturers want to make. Products must be priced optimally, not too expensive but equally important not cheaper than they need to be. ABS can help you plan your go-to-market strategy. We have experts with research and marketing planning skills with many years of experience in some of the global market leaders.
