Editor’s Quote

We asked Claudia to comment on the future growth of the market. She said:

“The market prospects for the UK bathroom and kitchen pods market in Q3-2024 look positive. With the high demand for new housing, the trend towards sustainable development and the shortage of traditional construction skills, offsite construction methods, including the use of pods, will show strong growth over the next 5 years.

Other factors that will support market growth include the speed of installation as well as the reduction of costs, which makes them a suitable option for many residential and commercial projects. This is particularly the case in urban areas where space is scarce and high-rise buildings predominate.”
