AMA Research
have published the 3rd Edition of the ‘Commercial &
Industrial Doors and Shutters Market - UK 2006’ report –
incorporating original input and primary research, it represents an
up-to-date and informed report on the sector, covering both Personnel
Entrance Doors and Industrial (Non-Personnel) Doors.
Since the
publication of our last report, changes in the legislative
environment, combined with growing demand from the health and
education sectors, albeit somewhat lower than anticipated, have
largely driven market growth in the commercial door sector. A slightly
more buoyant commercial sector has also helped to maintain sales
in the overall market, as sales of industrial doors continue to be
hampered by a still-struggling manufacturing sector, a sector which has,
however, begun to show cautious signs of a recovery in 2006.
The market
has also been impacted by increasing energy and fuel costs,
raw material prices and the growing costs associated with product
and staff-related regulations and standards. The report reviews the
development of the market, discusses key trends and influences, and also
analyses future prospects and opportunities.
