AMA Research have recently published the Fourth Edition of the Suspended Ceilings and Partitioning Systems Market Report 2003.
The market has benefited from increasing energy efficiency legislation and health and safety and Revised Building Regulations, also environmental legislation, which has stimulated product innovation and development.
In particular the boiler sector has been affected by the requirements of the Revised Building Regulations calling for the installation of high efficiency gas condensing boilers from April, 2005, also high efficiency oil-fired boilers from April 2007.
The continuing trend in New Build to construct flats is likely to have mixed implications for gas and electric boilers.
While the smaller types of gas and electric boilers are eminently suitable for single living accommodation, the heating load is likely to be less than that of a house.
Factors likely to have a negative influence on the Market include the continuing trend to higher levels of insulation, driven by revised part 'L' of the building regulations, which will reduce the overall domestic heating load required.
Conversely there are a number of product innovations which may contribute to market growth in many sectors of the UK Domestic Heating Market, ranging from integrated solar thermal systems, also ground source and air source heat pumps, and high capacity storage combi's, to fan assisted fuel-effect radiators, and the wider application of wireless technology.
Also, other factors underpinning growth include niche-specific opportunities in certain sectors of the market - for example, growth in the self-build and conservatory markets, also additional motivation for the cylinder, pump and controls sectors arising from the development of integrated solar thermal systems, a continuing trend to power showering, likely to fuel growth in storage combi's, accumulators, and pressurised cylinders in general AMA's report also provides an insight into future prospects for the domestic heating products market, and states that although the market is not likely to experience significant growth in 2007/08, it should progressively grow by a nominal amount.
The builders and plumbers' merchants remain key players in the distribution of Domestic Heating products while electrical wholesalers and, to a lesser extent, the DIY Multiples, are also involved in the distribution of certain Domestic Heating Product Sectors- for example, electric water heating products, fans and solar panels.
