The report contains
a detailed assessment of the bathroom products market with
interpretation of major developments and future trends. It includes
information that is specific and relevant to the market and is not
just a broad collection of Government statistics.
Recent
trends include:
-
With the
economic downturn, consumers have been seen to add
value to their property through refurbishment. Rather
than going to the expense of extending their property,
they are making the best use of existing space.
-
Digital
technology is now used more frequently in UK bathrooms.
Consumers are demanding products with greater
functionality. The ‘intelligent bathroom’ will become more
important with products pre-programmed to respond to the
needs of the individual user.
-
With the growing use of the
Internet, consumers are now better informed than they were
a decade ago; they no longer passively take expert advice.
This has raised expectations and awareness of
affordable design-led
bathroom products.
-
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;
UK householders have become
more aware of the environmental impact of components that
make up their homes. There is an increasing demand for
bathroom products that
deliver satisfactory
performance and use less water.
