Electrical Enclosure Market Research

David Gordon Posted On June 27, 2016

A core service of Channel Marketing Group is conducting market research for manufacturers and distributors. One of the benefits of much of our channel research is the ability for participating distributors to receive free market research.

We’re currently seeking input into the electrical enclosure market.

Knowing that this is a nominal segment of the business for many distributors we’re hoping to “crowd-source” insights that we can share back with survey respondents via a free executive summary, enabling you to benchmark your business based upon aggregated industry insights.

An enclosure, according to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), is a surrounding case constructed to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and to provide a degree of protection to the enclosed equipment against specified environmental conditions.

From a product viewpoint, some of the more common enclosures sold by distributors are:

Cabinets and enclosures
Auxiliary enclosures
Contactor (enclosures)
Control Panel Enclosure
Electrical and Electronic Cabinets
Hazardous Location Enclosures (Types 7, 8, 9, 10)
Non-Hazardous Location Enclosures (Types 1, 2, 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 5, 6, 6P, 12, 12K)
Pushbutton (enclosures)
Switch (enclosure)
Telephone cabinets
Wireways
Wiring Troughts

and, “you know them when you see them!”

Some of the areas we’re seeking input include:

The importance, percent-wise, that this company represents.
Whom distributors prefer in this segment?
What differentiates companies?
Product category trends

The survey is short (2-3 minutes), all input is confidential, and your participation can benefit the NAED Educational Foundation!

What’s In It for You?

For every distributor response, our client will donate $5 to the NAED Education & Research Foundation to further support its distributors.
Additionally you can request an executive summary of the results so that you can benchmark your electrical enclosure sales versus the industry …
And you can register to win one of three $100 Amazon gift certificates.

The survey is only for electrical distributors.

Please take a moment of your time to share your input and generate funds for NAED. The survey is open until July 1st.

And if you’d prefer to share your insights via a short conversation, email me and we can schedule a few minutes to talk.

Can you share your input for a good cause?
