The UK cladding market has been experiencing annual growth of 3-4 percent in recent years. Market performance in 1996/97 is considered to have improved on 1995, when market conditions were relatively flat. By the year 2000, the market is forecast to achieve a value of £460m at current prices.
Flat sheets are currently valued at £68m and are forecast to experience growth of 2-3 percent up to the year 2000, reaching a value of £75m at constant prices. The market should benefit from any increase in local authority housing stock renovation, where rainscreen overcladding is frequently used.
The composite panels market is currently valued at £80m and is forecast to experience growth of 4-5 percent, which is above the market average, up to the year 2000. Market growth will be stimulated by the trend towards the use of composite panels, at the expense of other systems such as profiled sheets. Steel panels dominate the sector, with aluminium also prominent. Kingspan dominates the market, following its acquisition of Wards.
Profiled sheets and precast concrete panels are both currently estimated at around £60m £65, with forecast growth rates of 2-4 percent up to the year 2000. Market development will be influenced by factors such as building material trends in the commercial sector, together with competition from abroad.
The UK market for weatherboarding (roofline cladding) products is currently valued at around £50m (MSP). The market is forecast to experience significant growth in the short term, particularly in 1997-1999, largely stimulated by the increasing use of cellular PVC-U in roofline and weatherboarding products.
Timber currently dominates the sector by volume, by PVC-U usage is growing rapidly. Swish has an estimated market share of 11 percent of the total weatherboarding/roofline cladding market, followed by Caradon Celuform, Kestrel, Deceuninck, Premier Profiles/Procell and Permacell. The key distribution channels for PVC-U are direct to installers or through stockists/distributors.
The final product sector consists of tiles and slabs made from brick, cast stone, cement bonded particle board, ceramic, clay natural stone and timber. This market is currently valued at an estimated £45m and is forecast to grow by 2-3 percent up to the year 2000.
Growth within the total cladding market is largely influenced by economic and construction industry performance. Other factors such as trends in building design and materials will also influence future market development and influence the choice of alternative materials. Construction orders are increasing at present, particularly in the commercial and industrial sectors which should provide growth opportunities for cladding manufacturers, at least in the short term.
This comprehensive report represents a detailed assessment of the market, reviewing major trends, key factors influencing developments and future prospects for the sector. Analysis is both quantitative and qualitative, based on our substantial experience of the building and home improvement markets.
