Recent trends include:
-
The media and the internet have provided consumers with
the knowledge and information to source a wider range of styles. In
the bathroom refurbishment sector, consumers now have a greater
influence on the specification process.
-
The trend towards a bathroom “sanctuary” dedicated
to wellness and relaxation is expected to continue with wider
ranges of more innovative products and aesthetic designs.
-
With a growing population and a larger number of single
person households, there is an increasing demand for water
efficient products.

Importers continue to gain share in the UK market,
with further increases from lower cost sources such as China and
