The kitchen furniture market is resilient and is driven to a large and increasing extent by replacement and improvement activity. This RMI sector is likely to provide a solid basis for market recovery, once the uncertainty of Brexit has been resolved. A previously strong performance in the housebuilding and housemoving sectors has been followed by more modest growth, which is likely to continue in the next few years, despite the acknowledged need for a more robust housebuilding programme. In the longer term, an improving economic outlook and renewed consumer confidence should help to create a positive environment for the kitchen furniture market.

Within the supply chain, margins are likely to be squeezed by the increasing cost of imported raw materials, although the effects of this should start to dissipate soon. In addition, continuing strong competition amongst both manufacturers and retailers could lead to further casualties in both sectors. Future growth in the market may support a higher level of imports, although UK manufacturers are increasingly competitive in terms of pricing and design innovation.
