EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MSI believe that growth of 4 percent in volume terms and 3 percent in value terms was recorded in the UK market for ceramic tiles during 1997. This growth is believed to have reflected improved conditions in the construction industry, the housing market and the increase in DIY expenditure as a result of building society demutalisation payments.

Wall tiles continued to account for a substantial proportion of the ceramic tiles market in 1997, representing some 80 percent of the value of tiles sold. It is believed that this proportion decreased between 1993 and 1997, reflecting the increased popularity of ceramic floor tiles.

MSI believe that growth in the retail sector has been greater than in the contract sector due to the major expansion by the specialist tile retailers, the current trend for tiles as a form of home decoration and restricted investment by the traditional contract end users.

The demand for ceramic tiles in the UK is principally affected by the level of construction activity, both in terms of new build and repair and maintenance. Other significant factors affecting demand include housing market activity, changes in consumers' expenditure on DIY products and fashion trends.

Imports are very prominent in the UK ceramic tiles market and are believed to account for 75 percent of the total volume market in 1997. Import penetration is believed to have increased significantly between 1993 and 1997.

UK production of ceramic tiles fell between 1993 and 1995. However, MSI believe that growth was recorded during 1997 as a result of the increased popularity of larger tile sizes, floor tiles and premium range tiles. Also some of the larger UK manufacturers, most notably Pilkington's Tiles and H & R Johnson, have undertaken investment allowing them to compete more effectively with low cost imports.

The UK market for terrazzo flooring is estimated to have increased continuously in both volume and value terms between 1994 and 1997 reflecting the rise in construction activity, particularly in the retail sector.

MSI believe that the market for ceramic tiles will increase in both volume and value terms between 1998 and 2002 as the trends for large, added value tiles continues. The floor tiles market is expected to grow at a greater rate than the wall tiles market during the five year forecast period.
