analysis of the underfloor heating market focusing on market size and trends,
product mix, supply, distribution and future prospects, the report is
comprehensive, informative and will facilitate operational and strategic
decision-making processes.
Product sectors reviewed include:
- Water-based UFH Systems
- Electric UFH Systems
Key markets reviewed include:
- Self Build
- Domestic
- Public Sector
- New Housebuilding
With technological advances and increasing availability and popularity, the
underfloor heating market continues to be one of the fastest growing markets
in the heating industry, worth around £78 million at manufacturers
selling prices in 2011. In particular, environmental concerns and tighter
energy efficiency requirements are seeing a greater influence on demand. In
addition, future growth will be supported by the increasing number of
applications using renewable energy sources, which are particularly compatible
with these types of heating systems.

CONTENTS and LIST OF TABLES & CHARTS
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.
The non-domestic sector continues to dominate the UK underfloor heating market
with 51% share by value. This sector is starting to feel the impact of the
public sector spending cuts. The domestic sector accounts for the remaining
49% of the market and includes self build installations, new build activity
and RMI / DIY retrofit projects.
Imports continue to account for a significant proportion of UFH products sold
in the UK, exposing the market to a high level of price competition. This will
affect value growth in the medium to long term. Distribution remains dominated
by direct supply with manufacturers and other specialists often offering a
'supply and fit' service. However, there has been a shift towards indirect
distribution, particularly in the domestic sector, with merchants, DIY
multiples, and other retailers becoming more involved in the distribution of
UFH systems.
Penetration levels of UFH remain low and there is still ample room for good
market growth in the future, with wider adoption by the new build sector
likely. Tightening legislation is likely to encourage housebuilders to use UFH
as a means of meeting the more stringent energy efficiency targets. In the
short to medium term it is likely there will be an increase in the number of
companies involved in UFH distribution as the market grows and organisations
spot opportunities to exploit different positions. However, in the longer term
there is likely to be some consolidation within the supply sector, easing
price competition and thus aiding value growth.
By 2016 the market value is forecast to be around £90m at MSP, which
would represent an increase of around 13% compared to the market size in 2012.
