The 2nd edition of the Bathroom & Kitchen Brassware & Taps Market Report – UK 2020-2024 incorporates original research and provides a detailed assessment of this changing market with interpretation of major developments and future trends. It also includes an assessment of the effects that Covid-19 and our exit from the EU will have on this market in the short to medium term.

This report covers the following product sectors:

  • KITCHEN TAPS (including mixers, pillar taps, water systems – i.e. boiling hot water taps).
  • BASIN BRASSWARE (including mixers, pillar taps, single-point basin TMVs).
  • BATH BRASSWARE (including mixers, bath shower mixers, pillar taps, single-point bath TMVs).

Recent trends include:

  • The brassware and taps market has reached maturity resulting in greater levels of replacement purchases leading to product upgrade and added value opportunities.
  • Minimalist, contemporary brassware & taps remain popular in curvaceous, fluid shapes. Sturdy, angular styles are also in demand, as are traditional and more opulent designs.
  • Digital and smart intelligence has become a key growth area in tapware design solutions as it can both enhance the user experience and reduce costs.
  • With the Covid-19 pandemic there has been increasing focus on hygiene and hand washing measures resulting in increasing demand for non-touch sensor operated products.
  • The practicalities of brassware and tap design is becoming increasingly important. Legislation in relation to water efficiency and safety is having an increasing bearing on product design.
  • With growing concerns about the environment, demand for water efficient brassware & taps is increasing. The government Carbon Net Zero target by 2050 is supporting this trend.
  • With an ageing UK population and greater number of people with disabilities, there is a notable requirement for inclusive brassware & taps that combine style with safety and ease of use.
  • Price competition remains intense with a high level of imported product, weak value of Sterling and growing number of competitive distribution channels such as the internet.

The characteristics of the UK brassware & taps market has changed in recent years, due in part to legislation and developments in distribution. The level of imports has increased considerably and as a result, the UK market is now exposed to product and design trends from a variety of sources, particularly Europe and also wider supply sources, such as the Far East.

The UK brassware & taps market saw good growth in 2015 and 2016, driven by the favourable conditions in the new housebuilding sector and demand emulating from the private commercial sector. Following the UK vote to leave the EU, growth was also recorded in 2017, although at a lesser pace than 2016. This was followed by a more modest performance in 2018 and 2019 as the Brexit negotiations continued. Consumer and business confidence saw a decline, impacting on the market for brassware & taps.

With economic uncertainty exacerbated by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, markets have remained price sensitive. There continues to be high levels of foreign competition and an increasing number of suppliers. These factors contribute to pressures on margins throughout the supply chain and across the brassware products industry.
With the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020, sales of brassware & taps began to be adversely impacted, particularly in the April to June period, when most retail outlets have been closed due to the restrictions on “non-essential” trade.
