The UK suspended ceilings and partitioning systems market was worth an estimated £283m at Manufacturers Selling Prices (MSP) in 2020, having declined by around 16% due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. These products afford a wide range of design objectives including acoustics, aesthetic, environmental, safety and performance requirements.
The overall market for suspended ceiling and partitioning products is relatively mature and primarily dependent on construction and refurbishment activity in the non-domestic sector, particularly offices, education, retail, entertainment & leisure and health.
Suspended ceilings are typically installed towards the end of a construction project and partitions are generally fitted upon tenant occupation, so there is a delayed impact compared to changes in construction levels.
The suspended ceilings and partitions market experienced growth to 2018 and was relatively static in 2019, before declining significantly in 2020, primarily due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Following the initial lockdown, construction levels recovered throughout 2020 and have continued into 2021 as government guidance indicated that the manufacturing and construction sectors could continue to work. This led to an improvement in market performance improve with growth forecast for the year to 31 December 2021.
