EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

These markets have experienced significant change in recent years, resulting from a changing economic and construction environment.

The new housebuilding market is relatively stable, bearing in mind the low interest rate environment, but buoyant commercial and RMI sectors, coupled with a reasonably active house-moving sector, have assisted in market growth during recent years.

Regulatory change has been a significant factor within both markets, with emphasis placed on improved product performance and standards, which in turn has led to a degree of buoyancy in both market sectors.

A major feature of both sectors is the increased "globalisation" of the markets, with increased corporate activity in terms of acquisitions and mergers.

The roofing and insulation market is estimated to be worth nearly £1.7 billion at manufacturers prices in 2000, with positive trends in many market sectors implying further positive growth in market size can be achieved, in both commercial/industrial and domestic sectors.
