Abstract
Mintel last published a report on Domestic Lighting in February 2004. At that time, the market had been exhibiting strong growth on the back of a buoyant UK housing market and keen consumer interest in home decor.
More recently, the UK housing market has slowed in terms of transactions, however, the lighting sector remains well-placed to benefit from greater levels of experimentation among consumers, in addition to the growing awareness of energy saving products, in the wake of the rising in energy prices.
