The double-dip recession has not yet resulted in a sales decline for distributors, though pressure on margins and budgets continue to dampen market growth with total combined sales of garden products in the UK estimated to be worth more than £4 billion in 2012.

In 2011 and 2012, sales growth was both positively and negatively impacted by lacklustre consumer confidence, the wettest April on record, inclement weather in May and June across much of the country, the hosepipe ban which was lifted in June, a ‘double-dip’ recession, high unemployment, a slowly recovering housing market, Government austerity measures and ongoing concerns in the wider European economy impacting business confidence.

With the government indicated to be only a quarter of the way through their deficit reduction programme and public sector spending having reduced by less than 2% thus far in mid 2012, prospects for a rapid return to economic growth are somewhat limited.

In addition, climactic conditions have a significant influence on the UK garden products market, with inclement weather during the main consumer purchasing season in April, May and June 2012 dampening overall sales figures for the year. Despite drought conditions existing in a number of areas in the UK, poor weather conditions for much of the UK continued into June and during the much anticipated elongated Jubilee bank holiday weekend, resulting in pessimistic comments from a number of trade sources regarding the sales performance of products such as garden furniture, barbecues, leisure and other garden products.

The consensus of opinion, however, is that the 2012 recession is likely to be shallow and relatively short-lived with most sources anticipating some growth in H2 2012. As the economy slowly recovers this should translate into improving levels of consumer confidence, further stimulated by declining unemployment. Forecasts are moderately positive for the market overall in the near to medium term as a number of key market influences are set to underpin some volume and value growth in a number of key product sectors. The report provides detailed forecasts for each of the key product sectors through to 2016, coupled with comment on where the garden products market is most likely to find opportunity for growth in terms of sales in 2012 and beyond.
