Wall Cladding Market Report - UK 2012-2016 Analysis

AMA Research are pleased to announce the publication of the 8th edition of the report ‘Wall Cladding Market Report – UK 2012-2016 Analysis’. Incorporating original input and secondary research, this report represents an up to date and informed review of the market and the report provides an analysis of the following categories:

Facing clay and concrete bricks
Profiled sheets & composite panels
Rendered blockwork
Insulated render systems
Artificial stone products
Curtain wall
Precast concrete panels

Other fascias e.g. timber, metal cassettes, high pressure laminates, terracotta tiles, copper & zinc sheeting, fibre cement sheeting, natural stone etc.

The sector has experienced a volatile period, with sales falling in 2008-09. However, there has been a marginal increase in demand in late 2010 and 2011, underpinned by moderate improvements in investor confidence and increased levels of activity in certain sectors - most notably housebuilding and London commercial office sectors in 2011. While short term prospects in 2012/13 remain volatile, the sector is expected to show some growth in the medium term, though there will be significant variations between cladding materials.

A key area of opportunity is likely to be in refurbishment (overcladding and re-cladding), mainly in the industrial, education and social housing sectors, underpinned by building insulation requirements - and further refinements of the impending Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) initiatives. The report reviews future prospects up to 2016, with forecasts of market developments and key drivers influencing performance.
