VINYL, LINOLEUM & RUBBER
UK Floorcoverings Market Product Mix 2014 - % by Value
KEY END USE SECTORS The end use mix (by value) is dominated by contract applications, which are estimated to account for 62% of the total market value in 2014. The strength of vinyl in the contract sector has been boosted by innovative developments focused on benefits such as slip resistance, durability, ease of cleaning and maintenance - as well as decorative factors such as design, colour and shape. The availability of LVT in larger tile and plank sizes and shapes allows for a wider range of applications and finishes. However, investment in key sectors such as health and education is currently constrained.
UK Market for Vinyl Floorcoverings 2011-2016 – by Value
The domestic sector, in contrast, has seen lower demand since 2008 due to economic pressures and poor conditions in the UK housing market. While there have been positive signs, recovery in the domestic sector is taking longer, though late 2014 has seen some improvements.
FUTURE PROSPECTS Current medium-term forecasts predict moderate annual growth rates of 2-4% per annum over the next few years. This growth should be underpinned by returning confidence in the housing market in the short term and steady growth prospects for key private commercial sectors. However, prospects remain uncertain for demand in key public sectors – particularly healthcare.
