The report reviews developments within the industry, with emphasis on both
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE market assessment - both essential
requirements to good marketing planning. Recent trends, key influencing
factors and forecasts of future developments are assessed.
The UK domestic heating market is significant, with an estimated total value
of £980 million at manufacturers selling prices in 2011. Like other
products in the building industry this market has been impacted overall by the
global financial crisis and resulting decline in UK housebuilding. However,
future prospects look more positive with planned government measures such as
the Green Deal and the roll-out of smart meters across the UK, which will help
to stimulate this market from 2013.
Of particular interest:-
Impact of increasing legislation regarding the efficiency and
environmental impact of domestic heating systems - EuP, Part L, Code for
Sustainable Homes.
Significant market opportunities in the replacement sector -
there is still a considerable number of inefficient non-condensing boilers in
UK homes.
Impact of new build trends on the domestic central heating market -
shift towards flats, increasing use of renewable technologies as a source of
fuel.
Introduction of the Green Deal allowing installation of energy
efficiency measures in homes at no upfront cost.
Roll out of smart metering and the increased consumer focus on
energy efficient central heating products.
Trend towards low carbon homes that use a combination of fossil
fuel and renewable heat sources.
Market development of central heating installations. Product mix -
boilers, radiators, pumps, controls. Ownership levels, penetration by sector,
share by type of application - replacement, new build, first time
installation. Source of fuel - mains gas, LPG, oil, solid fuel, and electric.

SUMMARY OF REPORT CONTENTS
UK Domestic Central Heating Market by Value (£m MSP) 2008-2014
The UK domestic heating market is significant, with an estimated total value
of £980 million at manufacturers selling prices (MSP) in 2011. The
market is essentially mature; around 93% of all UK homes have some type of
central heating installed. However, growth opportunities exist through product
innovation/design to improve thermal performance, energy efficiency and
control/flexibility. Other influences on this market include the growing
concerns about energy efficiency and the environment. The government has
introduced a significant amount of environmental legislation in recent years
placing a greater emphasis on carbon emissions and fuel efficiency.
The UK domestic central heating market has been volatile over the last 5
years. In common with other products in the building industry, the market has
been impacted overall by the global financial crisis and resulting decline in
UK housebuilding and home moving.
Estimated at £564 million at MSP in 2012, the boiler sector dominates
the industry's sales. This is followed by radiators (£231m), heating
controls (£119m) and circulator pumps (£37m).
In 2012, the market for domestic central heating products can be broken down
into three key areas: refurbishment (81%), first time installations (10%) and
new build (9%).
The majority of these products are distributed via the trade channels such as
builders/plumbers merchants (64%) and electrical wholesalers (5%).
The outlook for the UK domestic central heating market in Q4-2012 remains
uncertain. Medium-longer term prospects are dependent on the timing, speed and
scale of recovery in the UK economy, with the related upturn in housebuilding
and improvement in consumer confidence and spending. However, planned
government measures such as the Green Deal and the roll-out of smart meters
across the UK may help to stimulate this market from 2013.
The future performance of the UK domestic heating market is likely to be
influenced by overall trends in house building, home improvement, fuel prices,
energy efficiency legislation, renewable technologies, levels of personal
disposable income, also niche market drivers such as the self build and
conservatory markets. In addition, given that fossil fuels are diminishing and
government targets for reduced CO2 emissions have to be met, the impact of
renewable technologies on the UK central heating industry in the medium to
longer term is likely to be significant.
A major area of support for the market is expected to come from the domestic
refurbishment sector. With rising fuel prices and new legislative measures,
householders are now more aware of energy efficiency and the environmental
impact of domestic central heating products.
By 2016 the market value is forecast to be around £1.06 billion at MSP,
which would represent an increase of 11% compared to the market size in 2012.
