Counties in Sunbelt States Stand Tall in Estimated Electrical Contractor Sales Growth
When you study Electrical Marketing’s latest estimated electrical contractor sales estimates at the county-level, the first thing you see is how so much of the sales volume is concentrated in a relatively small number of metropolitan statistical areas and states. For instance, of the 50 counties with the highest estimated sales volume from electrical contractors (see chart at bottom of page), 25 were in three states and one Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
Eight of the markets were in California (roughly $6.4 billion in estimated electrical contractors sales); seven were in Florida (totaling $3.4 billion in estimated contractor sales); five were in Texas ($4.9 billion in sales): and five of the counties were in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA, (MSA) ($2.5 billion in sales). These 25 counties probably account for 20% or more of total electrical contractor sales in the United States, while the Top 50 counties probably account for 35% of the estimated $89 billion electrical contractor sales throughout the United States in Q2 2025.
When measured by year-over-year dollar increase in estimated sales, four markets saw their electrical contractor sales potential increase by more than $100 million: Harris County in the Houston, TX, metro (+$228.1 million); Loudoun County, VA (+$220.1 million); Salt Lake County, UT (+115.3 million); and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX MSA’s Dallas County (+107.8 million).
On a YOY percent increase basis, Loudoun County (+34.5 million); Salt Lake County, UT (+18.3%); Harris County, TX (+16.6%); Cobb County, GA (+16.2%); and Waukesha County, WI (+12.9%); ranked in the Top 5.
