Despite a difficult period in 2008-09, the domestic
window coverings market in 2010 is still worth over £1.1 billion at
retail prices. The downturn in the UK economy in general and the
housing market and consumer spending on home improvements in particular
have impacted on sales of window coverings, though some product
sectors have continued to perform reasonably well.
Following the Election, prospects for the short-medium
term in 2010-11 are difficult to predict, but the window coverings
market is forecast to experience moderate rates of growth 2011-14,
benefiting from returning consumer confidence and forecast improvements
in the housing market. |
