Builders Merchants Market Update 2013
M2 - Tue Aug 27, 4:07AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wfnb7k/builders) has announced the addition of the "Builders Merchants Market Update 2013" report to their offering. This Market Update analyses the UK builders' merchants market. In 2012, the market was estimated to have fallen in value by 1%, following a decline in construction output throughout 2012. The builders' merchant market is, for the most part, dependent upon output within the construction industry. As such, this Market Update includes an examination of the UK construction industry across the housing, infrastructure, industrial, and repair, maintenance and improvement (RM&I) sectors. As a major supplier to the construction industry stocking and supplying a huge amount of materials and components builders' merchants are a vital component of the UK construction industry. The products supplied by such firms can be classified into three broad categories: heavyside materials, covering bricks, cement, sand and gravel, and similar products; lightside materials, such as interior fittings and plumbing and heating equipment; and tools and tool hire. As a main supplier to the construction industry, the builders' merchants market was greatly affected by the dramatic fall in construction output following the global financial downturn and throughout the national economic recession. With a sharp decline witnessed in construction output particularly in the private housing and commercial sectors demand for building materials and components across the product groups fell considerably. In 2012, following 2 consecutive years of growth, construction output in Great Britain returned to decline as the impact of economic uncertainty and Governmental spending cuts took their toll on the market. As a result, output fell across the public and private sectors, with only industrial construction and RM&I work achieving growth, resulting in falling demand throughout the industry. With public sector construction output unlikely to exhibit any growth until at least 2015, alongside continued uncertainty in private sector construction investment, demand in the builders' merchants market is expected to remain depressed. As a result, the market is expected to experience a slight decline in 2013, followed by increasingly significant growth as both private and public sector construction recovers. Key Topics Covered REPORT COVERAGE MARKET SECTORS - Heavyside Materials - Lightside Materials - Tools and Tool Hire MARKET TRENDS - New Housing Output - Housing Starts and Completions - Private-Sector Commercial Construction - Private-Sector Industrial Construction - Public-Sector Non-Housing Constriction - Repair, Maintenance and Improvement ECONOMIC TRENDS MARKET POSITION - The UK - Overseas - Market Size THE TOTAL MARKET BY MARKET SECTOR - Bricks and Roofing Tiles - Cement - Sand and Gravel OVERSEAS TRADE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DOWNTURN HOUSING - Mortgage Lending - Property Transactions HOUSEBUILDING CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS REGULATION EU TIMBER REGULATIONS COMPANY PROFILES Companies Mentioned - CCF - Grafton Merchanting Gb - Hanson Quarry Products Europe - Jewson Ltd - Keyline Builders Merchants - Ridgeon Group - Selco Trade Centres - Tarmac Building Products - Travis Perkins Trading Company For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wfnb7k/builders About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Door and Window Fittings Market Report - UK 2013-2017 Analysis: The Market for Door and Window Fittings is Estimated at Around GBP 416m in 2012
M2 - Tue Aug 13, 11:04AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k49kbl/door_and_window) has announced the addition of the "Door and Window Fittings Market Report - UK 2013-2017 Analysis" report to their offering. This market declined after the financial crisis in 2008 and has shown little growth in the following years. The market is closely linked to the door and window fabrication and installation market and the glazing industry in general. In 2013, the UK market for doors and windows is experiencing a difficult period, arising from a combination of market maturity of the market and the ongoing effects of the financial crisis. The supply and distribution structure remains very fragmented, complex and competitive. The sector has seen some consolidation, but there is still scope for further rationalisation as companies seek to broaden their range of products and/or sectors covered. Locks and handles represent the two major product sectors, together accounting for approaching 60% of the fittings market. Door closers now account for an estimated 14%, having grown in recent years. Polarisation is a striking feature of this market with both the high value, high specification and the low cost, basic product sectors having grown in recent years, whilst the mid-market segment has been heavily squeezed. In 2013, there is a notable emphasis on suppliers carrying a wide/full range of fittings and offering good customer service and expertise, alongside significant commitment to new product development. While the general public does buy door and window fittings at the retail level, the bulk of this market is trade-based and often a commodity sector. Companies Mentioned: - Able Locksmiths - Allgood - Avocet Hardware - B&Q - Basta Group - Carl F Groupco - Decco - Dorma UK - E Aldridge - Geze UK - Gilgen Door Systems - Grafton - Hafele - Homebase - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies - Ironmongery Direct - Keytek - Laidlaw - Lloyd Worral - MACO UK - Maxwells DIY - Mica Hardware - Roto Frank - Saint Gobain - Timpson Locksmiths - Titon Hardware - Travis Perkins - VBH (GB) - Wickes - Wolseley For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k4...and_window About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Timber & Joinery Market Report 2013: The Timber and Joinery Market Expected To Exhibit Decline In 2013
M2 - Fri Jul 19, 11:00AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5mhb32/timber_and) has announced the addition of the "Timber & Joinery Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Key Note Market Update examines the UK market for timber and joinery, focusing on two main sectors: finished wood products; and timber processing and semi-finished goods. In 2012, the apparent UK market for timber and joinery products was estimated to have grown year-on-year by 1.1%. The finished wood products sector, which accounts for just under three-quarters of the total market, covers a range of activities, including the manufacture of furniture, builders' carpentry and joinery, wooden containers, and a wide variety of miscellaneous wooden items. In the timber processing and semi-finished goods sector, activities covered include the sawmilling and planing of wood, and the production of veneer sheets, plywood, chipboard and other wood-based panels. The timber and joinery industry has, in recent years, suffered significantly as a result of economic downturn in the UK, coupled with the wider impact of the global financial downturn. With reduced economic activity, the main end-user market for the majority of timber and joinery products the construction industry has seen declining levels of output. With reduced construction activity within the public sector as a result of Government austerity measure, alongside depressed output from the private sector, the construction industry and its suppliers have faced declining demand. Despite growth in recent years, the timber and joinery market is expected to exhibit decline in 2013, largely as a result of depressed output across the construction industry. From 2014, however, with improving economic conditions and rising construction output in both the private and public sectors, demand for timber and joinery products is expected to recover, providing increasingly significant growth.
