| Since the mid-1990's, the overall market showed consistent levels of growth. This was particularly boosted by the building society windfalls in 1997. There is still signs of growth in the market, however, due to slower economic growth and lower consumer confidence, the growth level is at a much lower rate than in the mid-late 1990's. |
| The trend towards build-in appliances is growing. The increase n this sector is particularly due to improved new build sector throughout the 1990's, improvements in consumer confidence and to some degree the lower level of household penetration. |
| In terms of volume, the free-standing sector improved throughout the 1990's, although, in terms of value, the market has shown lower levels of growth, reflecting the increasing level of import and the high level of price competition. However, polarisation has to some degree become evident recently, with growth at the upper-end of the market, as an increasing proportion of consumers are trading up to higher specification appliances. This is particularly the case within the cooking and laundry sector. |
| The major sector within build-in appliances is cooking (including microwaves) with 79 percent by volume and 63 percent by value. Within the free-standing market, cooking takes 28 percent by volume, 24 percent by value, compared to refrigeration (31 percent and 30 percent), laundry (33 percent and 38 percent) and dishwashers (8 percent and 8 percent). |
