The report contains
a detailed assessment of the bathroom products market with
interpretation of major developments and future trends and with
information that is specific and relevant to the market.
Recent
trends include:
-
With the
economic downturn, the shift to ‘improve – don’t move’ has
led to a greater demand for products that update the
overall ‘look’ of the bathroom at a lower cost than a
total refurbishment.
-
There is
a growing underlying trend towards bathroom ‘collections’
that make the purchase process easier by allowing
consumers to create individual solutions with the
assurance that all items will match.
-
The
increasing use of the Internet has had a significant
impact on the bathroom products market in the UK. It has
provided consumers with the knowledge and information
to source a wider range of styles.
-
The
trend towards a bathroom “sanctuary” dedicated to wellness
and relaxation is expected to continue in the medium
to longer term with wider ranges of more innovative
products and aesthetic designs.
-
With an
ageing UK population, there are an increasing number of
‘inclusive’ bathroom products that combine style with
ease of use. These products are suitable for use by people
of any age or ability.
-
Sustainability and water efficiency has become a major
concern with UK householders. There is an increasing demand for water
efficient bathroom products.
