An MSI Landscape report is a new concept - a short format report laid out as a Marketing Presentation. In hardcopy form, the report presents a pair of pages that discuss each report aspect or question shown in the Table of Contents. Thus the question Who are the Leading Hotel Groups in the UK? is supported by a graphic (in this case a pie chart showing market share of the leading chains) and by a table (in this case, the number of bedrooms and the number of hotels of 13 named groups, plus an entry covering the rest of the industry). The facing page states those Facts that you, as the person undertaking the presentation, would be expected to know - in this instance, five paragraphs covering the recent activities of the market leaders and pertinent bullet points to enable you to create a hard-hitting presentation.

The MSI Landscape range has proved to be extremely popular, both in the hardcopy format and in the additional PowerPoint electronic version - packaged ready for you to adapt to your needs or use immediately as a framework for presenting further analysis. MSI Landscapes are also purchased as an entry level report into a particular sector by marketing professionals, financial analysts, market researchers and business information professionals.

This report analyses the markets for residential windows in Germany, the UK and France. For the purposes of this report residential windows are those installed in private and public sector new housing and the private and public sector home improvement market. The value of the UK market is defined in fully installed, framed and glazed terms, while the German and the French markets exclude the value of installation.

In this report the terms east Germany and west Germany refer to the present counterparts of the former East Germany and West Germany. Germany consists of 16 Federal states, singularly known as Land and collectively as Länder, 11 of which are in west and 5 in east Germany.

An in-depth analysis of the various types and sizes of windows is outside the parameters of this report, although, where relevant, trends affecting the overall market have been highlighted.

In Germany the majority of windows are custom made and therefore it is not possible to identify trends for different sizes of windows.

For the purposes of this report the market is segmented by type of material and by type of work.

The materials covered in this report include:

• PVC
• timber
• aluminium
• others, including frames made from a combination of materials

MSI believe that the terrorist attacks on America in September 2001 and the uncertainty these attacks have put on the global economic climate will influence the major European markets for windows. Indeed, the unstable economic situation is believed to have an effect on construction output in the three countries respectively which in turn will affect demand for residential windows. However, it is beyond the scope of this report to analyse these effects in detail.

• Commercial and Industrial Building: GB, published in June 2001
• House Building: Germany, published in May 1998
• La Construction Neuve et l’Entretien-Rénovation de Bâtiments  Non-Résidentiels en France, published in March 2001
