Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xf5ccn/inclusive) has announced the addition of the "Inclusive Bathroom and Kitchen Products Market Report - UK 2014-2018 Analysis" report to their offering.
By 2018 it is estimated that the UK inclusive bathroom and kitchen products market will be worth some £182 million. This represents an increase of around 20% when compared to the estimated market size in 2014.
With the ageing UK population and the increasing number of people with disabilities, inclusively designed bathroom and kitchen products have been progressively installed in in UK homes. In 2014, the inclusive bathroom and kitchen products market has an estimated value of around £152 million at Manufacturers Selling Prices (MSP). This represents an increase of around 2% when compared to the market size in 2013.
Between 2009 and 2012, the UK inclusive bathroom and kitchen products market was comparatively volatile - in line with the uncertain economic situation at this time. However, since 2013 the market for these inclusively designed products has seen a notable increase, with demand picking up as the economy improves. This growth can be partly attributed to several changes in legislation that have been introduced by the Government in recent years and the growing number of elderly and disabled people. In addition there has also been a trend towards multi-generation households in the UK.
The showering facilities sector dominates the industry's sales as many baths are now being replaced by easy access shower enclosures and wetroom areas. This is followed by bathroom accessories, toilet facilities, bathroom brassware and baths. In addition, inclusive kitchen facilities (excluding appliances) are estimated to be £29m at MSP.
A significant proportion of the inclusive bathroom and kitchen products market represents direct sales from the specialist manufacturer or supplier to the end-user, which is common practice with specialised products. Other channels include merchants and distributors plus DIY multiples, many who offer own branded goods. In addition, the level of inclusive bathroom and kitchen products sold via online retailers has seen significant growth in recent years.
