A Market Competitive Intensity Analysis of South Australia

Posted on: Wednesday, 1 October 2008, 00:10 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b014b8/market_competitive) has announced the addition of the "Market Competitive Intensity (MCI): South Australia" report to their offering.

Datamonitors MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of utility Market Competitive Intensity. The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework; Supplier Push; Customer Pull.

Scope

- Insight into the current levels of competitiveness in the gas and power markets of 20 key Asia Pacific countries.

- Benchmarking of the factors driving competition and market entry in the gas and power sectors of the selected markets.

- Analysis of how the selected markets are likely to evolve given the currently prevailing market dynamics.

Highlights of this title

MCI scores are calculated using two different methods. The first, the simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall competitive intensity. The second, the multiplicative method, is more complex. It prevents markets with an overly wide spread of underlying raw scores from exerting undue influence over, or skewing, the final result.

Liberalisation, energy pricing issues and environmental concerns will remain key drivers of gas and power market dynamics throughout the MCI forecast period.

Key reasons to purchase this title

- Assess the competitive environments of gas and power markets both now and in the future.

- Gain insight into value chain factors driving market competitiveness and how each individual part of the chain will evolve as competition develops.

- Screen future market entry plans against the MCI scores to highlight key areas of potential risk and opportunity.
