DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kx4xnb/underfloor_heating) has announced the addition of the "Underfloor Heating Market Report - UK 2012-2016 Analysis" report to their offering.
The UK underfloor heating market accounts for around 5% of the total UK heating market, with an estimated value of around ?78 million at manufacturers selling prices (MSP) in 2011. This market is broadly classified into two product types; water- based UFH systems and electric UFH systems. All market estimates relate to materials only and exclude installation work. Traditionally UFH has been perceived as an exclusive commodity; however recent technological advances have led to a steady increase in its availability and popularity in the UK, making it one of the fastest growing markets in the heating industry. UFH is growing in popularity with new build developers and self builders who are increasingly using UFH systems to add value to properties. Self builders in particular are willing to invest more in initial costs in order to appreciate longer term benefits.
Like other products in the building and construction industry, the market for underfloor heating has been impacted by the global financial crisis. Recent market performance in the domestic sector has proved to be particularly difficult, with the decline in the housing market and fall in consumer spending negatively impacting on demand.
The short term outlook for the UK underfloor heating market remains fragile. Confidence remains weak and neither housebuilding nor housemoving have seen any substantial recovery in 2011, and are unlikely to recover strongly in 2012. This will continue to impact on a wide range of products, including UFH. However, in the medium to longer term, the UK underfloor heating market is expected to return to steady growth as the economy stabilises and confidence improves. It is also expected that UFH will start to be adopted in the wider market as systems become easier to install and the benefits become more widely known.
