Wallcoverings and Ceramic Tiles Market Report 2006
It values the UK retail wallcoverings market at £358m retail selling prices (rsp) for 2004. The market has been in decline for some years and a further fall in 2005 to £347m is predicted. It estimates that the value of the retail market for ceramic tiles in 2004 was £482m rsp and expects very modest growth in 2005 to £485m.
The wallcoverings market divides into sidewalls and borders, and also by substrate sectors: wallpaper, flat vinyl, blown vinyl, expanded vinyl and others, which are primarily various types of plain whites other than white blown and expanded vinyls. The main division in the ceramic tiles market is between wall tiles and floor tiles. It includes both glazed and unglazed ceramic tiles, but the glazed type make up the majority of the market.
Economic trends, particularly the growth in household disposable income, have been generally helpful to these markets in the period from 2001 to 2005. Consumer confidence has wavered somewhat in 2005 and the housing market has slowed. The overall market for do-it-yourself (DIY) materials, which has grown strongly between 2001 and 2004, appears to have levelled off or taken a slight downturn in the first half of 2005. Growth in the tile market seems to have slowed following these background trends, although the longer-term pattern is for growth. The effect of the economy on the wallcoverings market is masked by the fashion swing away from wallcoverings and towards painted walls.
