The report provides a comprehensive review of developments in the new housing market for bathroom
and shower products. The overall housing market has continued to evolve throughout the last decade
with substantial changes to the mix between public and private sectors, the size and style of
dwellings and specifications levels for new build housing.
In 2004, the new build sector for bathroom products was estimated to be worth approximately 16%
of the total bathroom and shower products sectors, with an approximate value of 」151 million.
In recent years, the sector has benefited from an increased incidence of en-suite and downstairs
cloakroom installations and a 2% increase on completions between 2003-04. |
