DUBLIN, Ireland - (Business Wire) Research and Markets (
http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f4189c/market_competitive) has announced the addition of the "Market Competitive Intensity (MCI): Croatia" report to their offering.
Market Competitive Intensity Index (MCI) is a robust framework for measuring and benchmarking the development of competitiveness and market conditions in a range of gas and electricity markets. The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework; Supplier Push and Customer Pull.
Scope
- Insight into the current levels of competitiveness in the gas and power markets of the EU 27 and 6 related markets.
- Analysis of the commercial opportunities and threats in the selected markets both currently and in 2010.
- A benchmarking of the factors driving competition and market entry in the gas and power sectors of the selected markets.
Highlights of this title
Datamonitor's MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of utility Market Competitive Intensity.
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.
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.
Key Topics Covered:
- Introduction: Datamonitor's MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of energy Market Competitive Intensity
- The MCI Index shows how attractive a particular market is to new entrants in terms of the competitive environment
- The MCI assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad clusters: Market framework; Supplier Push; Customer Pull.
- The MCI Index measures competitive intensity in EU 27 and 6 related markets
- The MCI Index assesses markets as they stood in early 2008 and forecasts conditions likely to be prevailing three years after full market opening
- Each of the nine pillars has an assessment scale to allow for the comparison of diverse markets (see appendix for more details)
- Two differing overall MCI scores are calculated to ensure full clarity of results
- A simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall competitive intensity
- A weighted multiple (multiplicative) measure shows overall competitive intensity
- The MCI framework has a number of applications for your organization
- Context: Both Croatia's gas and power markets have only very minor levels of competitive intensity
- Croatia's power metrics remain modest over the forecast period
- Croatia's gas market competitive intensity leads that of other markets in the region at similar stages of economic development
- Power MCI: Both Croatia's Supplier Push & Customer Pull metrics show particular weakness
- Market framework factors show little growth over the forecast period
- Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 3/10 2010: 5/10]
- Ease of Third Party Access [2008: 2/10 2010: 4/10]
- Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 2.5/10 2010: 3/10]
- All the Supplier Push metrics remain at a low level even by the end of the forecast period
- Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 0/10 2010: 2/10]
- Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 0/10 2010: 2.5/10]
- Traded Market Maturity [2008: 0/10 2010: 0.5/10]
- A slower pace of market opening curtails the Customer Pull metrics
- Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 1/10 2010: 2/10]
- Consumer Representation [2008: 0/10 2010: 2/10]
- Propensity to Switch [2008: 1/10 2010: 3/10]
- Gas MCI: Croatia's gas score grows over a number of metrics though the multiplicative score remains at zero
- Full market opening later in 2008 will help give momentum to the 2010 Market Framework metrics
- Effectiveness of Regulator [2008: 6/10 2010: 8/10]
- Effectiveness of Balancing and Data Transfer [2008: 4/10 2010: 6/10]
- The absence of a traded market combined with the lack of wholesale and retail fragmentation significantly constrain the Supplier Push metrics
- Wholesale Market Fragmentation [2008: 2/10 2010: 3.5/10]
- Retail Market Fragmentation [2008: 2/10 2010: 4/10]
- Traded Market Maturity [2008: 0/10 2010: 0/10]
- Customer Pull metrics will be given renewed impetus later in 2008 when the market becomes fully open
- Access to Market Information and Assistance [2008: 2/10 2010: 4.5/10]
- Consumer Representation [2008: 1/10 2010: 3/10]
- Propensity to Switch [2008: 2/10 2010: 5/10]
- Outlook: A lack of competitive intensity creates very few tangible commercial opportunities for new entrants
- Despite improvements in all the metrics over the forecast period, both the gas and power multiplicative scores remain at zero
- Power scores
- Gas scores
- Short term market entry options in the retail arena particularly remain limited
- New Market Entrant Opportunities, Power
- New Market Entrant Threats, Power
- The pro-competition regulator on its own will be insufficient to overcome the other factors holding back gas market competitive intensity
- New Market Entrant Opportunities, Gas
- New Market Entrant Threats, Gas
- MCI Scores
