With the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the UK kitchen taps market saw a decline of around -2% as the UK economy locked down and construction sites closed.
However, this decline was considerably less than other sectors of the construction industry, with a notable uplift in home improvement activity (including kitchen refurbishments) particularly evident. Many homeowners had accumulated savings as a result of the pandemic lockdowns and opted to focus on improving their home environment.
The kitchen taps market was also supported by the strong growth of kitchen water systems, particularly boiling water taps, which has significantly added value to this market sector in the last 2-3 years.
