1. MSI believe the value of the UK market for domestic kitchen furniture increased throughout the review period. The market was estimated to be valued at £880 million (€1 417 million) at msp in 2001.
2. Flat pack furniture continued to account for the largest proportion of the domestic kitchen furniture market, representing some 63 percent of the total in 2001. This is believed to be a result of improved design and quality of flat pack kitchen furniture. However, the proportional importance of flat pack kitchen furniture is believed to be decreasing due to customers choosing to invest in more expensive rigid kitchen furniture which allows for more individual designs.
3. The refurbishment sector remains the most significant sector in the domestic kitchen furniture market, accounting for some 77 percent in 2001, reflecting the large amount of expenditure allocated to the refurbishment of existing housing in the UK.
4. Sales of domestic kitchen furniture to the private sector are believed to have increased during the review period. The sector accounted for 90 percent of the total market value in 2001, compared with 89 percent in 1997. Furthermore, MSI believe that the value of the retail sector of the UK domestic kitchen furniture market has increased between 1997 and 2001 by some 8 percent, as a result of increased consumer expenditure. The contract sector is increasing its proportion of the domestic kitchen furniture market.

7. Kitchen specialists, such as independents and retail chains account for the largest proportion of domestic kitchen furniture sales. Indeed, such outlets have increased in proportional importance at the expense of DIY outlets as a result of consumers placing a greater emphasis on design and quality. MSI believe that sales through kitchen specialists accounted for some 40 percent of the total market value in 2001.
