UK Bathroom Furniture Market Analysed & Forecast by GlobalData in Its New Topical Study Recently Added at MarketPublishers.com

08 Jan 2018 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – As of 2017, the bathroom furniture market in the UK declined by 2.9% YoY and was estimated at around GBP 856 million. The falling sales are attributed to a slowdown in the country’s proprietary market along with low consumer confidence. Furthermore, volume sales in the UK bathroom market declined in 2017 by over 4.5% YoY, whilst inflation increased by appr. 1.7% as retailers passed on bigger costs to shoppers as a result of a weaker sterling.

In 2017, around 22% of all bathroom furniture purchases in the UK were made online. Growth in the online segment is spurred primarily by DIY specialists like Wickes and B&Q (which have considerably improved their websites) as well as by online-inly players like Soak.com and Victoria Plum (which stock a great range and also make huge investments in online advertising).

Within the partial bathroom furniture segments, affluent older generations are likely to make purchases at DIY stores, whilst younger consumers prefer to buy from general merchnadisers and discounters.
