Published 27.09.2026

Analysis of companies, economy, and opportunities for entrepreneurs in Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway (2016–2026). This is a SmartGrunder analysis based on publicly registered data from Norway.

Brief overview of the sector

The electrical goods wholesale industry in Haugesund is a small but growing sector with a single active company. The electrical importer Elektroimportøren Norge As Avd Haugesund has shown stable growth in sales and employees over the past few years, with a particular increase in 2025.

Operational efficiency and bankruptcies

The sector has not recorded any bankruptcies during the period 2016–2026. The one company has been in operation since 2018 and has shown stable growth in both sales and employees. This indicates good operational efficiency and low risk of bankruptcy. Fluctuations in the number of employees (e.g., a decline from 16 to 9 in 2024) may be due to special circumstances, but there are no indications of financial problems.

Outlook for entrepreneurs

The sector shows clear growth in sales, especially from 2020 onwards. With one company in the municipality and no competing companies, there are potential opportunities to establish oneself in the sector. However, it is important to note that the sector is small and depends on individual companies. Entrepreneurs should carefully analyze market needs and competitiveness before investing. SmartGrunder can help find optimal addresses in Haugesund for this sector.

Contrast with agriculture

The broader agriculture group in Haugesund has 26 companies, compared to 1 in the electrical goods wholesale sector. Sales in agriculture have grown by 7.9% from 2024 to 2025 (NOK 338.5M), while the electrical goods wholesale sector has grown by 25.5% in the same period. Agriculture, however, has lower EBITDA margins and more stable employee numbers (169 in 2026). Peer companies in agriculture include phone shops, opticians, and computer shops, but no direct competitors for electrical goods wholesalers. This shows that agriculture and the electrical goods wholesale sector have different economic dynamics and market positions.
