AMA Research are pleased to announce the publication of the 8th edition of the
report 'Wall Cladding Market Report - UK 2012-2016 Analysis'.
Incorporating original input and secondary research, this report represents an
up to date and informed review of the market and the report provides an
analysis of the following categories:
Facing clay and concrete bricks
Profiled sheets & composite panels
Rendered blockwork
Insulated render systems
Artificial stone products
Curtain wall
Precast concrete panels
Other fascias e.g. timber, metal cassettes, high pressure
laminates, terracotta tiles, copper & zinc sheeting, fibre cement sheeting,
natural stone etc.
The sector has experienced a volatile period, with sales falling in 2008-09.
However, there has been a marginal increase in demand in late 2010 and 2011,
underpinned by moderate improvements in investor confidence and increased
levels of activity in certain sectors - most notably housebuilding and London
commercial office sectors in 2011. While short term prospects in 2012/13
remain volatile, the sector is expected to show some growth in the medium
term, though there will be significant variations between cladding materials.
A key area of opportunity is likely to be in refurbishment (overcladding and
re-cladding), mainly in the industrial, education and social housing sectors,
underpinned by building insulation requirements - and further refinements of
the impending Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) initiatives. The
report reviews future prospects up to 2016, with forecasts of market
developments and key drivers influencing performance.
Of particular interest:
Analysis of key product / material groups in terms of area
installed. Split by material types where appropriate, variations in
performance.

SUMMARY OF REPORT CONTENTS
Including facing bricks, rendered block and insulated render systems, we
estimate that the total installed wall cladding area declined from over 50m sq
m in 2007 to 37 m sq m within three years, before levelling out in 2010-12.
The downturn in the housebuilding, industrial and commercial new work markets
has impacted heavily on demand for most cladding products and materials, in
particular the largest groups - facing bricks, rendered block, cast stone,
metal panels and curtain wall. However, in the private housebuilding sector,
there has been a marked shift away from flats construction back towards
houses. This has fed through to an increase in demand for facing bricks and
other materials used for cladding houses.
The marginal recovery in 2010 and 2011 has mainly been due to improvements in
the private housebuilding and Central London office sectors, sustained demand
from the public sector and growing demand from the waste management and energy
construction markets. Over the medium term, we expect to see only marginal
growth at best. The expected recovery in commercial office construction has
not fully materialised, with fears about the Euro Zone crisis and other
macro-economic and political issues undermining investor confidence,
particularly in high-value 'skyscraper' projects in Central London. At the
start of 2012, two of the largest projects have been put on hold. The
beleaguered retail sector is not expected to show any recovery for a while
yet, as exemplified by the marked lack of shopping mall projects in the 2012
development pipeline. Cuts to public sector capital investment will start to
have more of an impact from 2012 compared to 2011, with demand for cladding on
schools, university, MoD and healthcare newbuild markets expected to show
significant decline.
Key opportunities could be in refurbishment, partly driven by the Green Deal
and Energy Companies Obligations (ECO), due for implementation in October and
December 2012 respectively. However, many leaders and organisations in the
construction industry have expressed reservations about the proposals in their
current form, and our forecasts indicate that the impact on the cladding
market will be relatively slow to take off. Other potential market drivers
could be increased demand for cladding products from the waste management,
recycling and renewable energy sectors.
Clay, and to a much lesser extent concrete, facing bricks still constitute the
largest product group, despite the impact of the downturn in housebuilding.
The other main types of cladding used on private housebuilding developments
are rendered blockwork and artificial stone. Standard rendering and insulated
render systems are used extensively on social housing newbuild and
refurbishment and in areas exposed to higher than average rainfall and strong
winds e.g. Scotland.
After brickwork, steel and aluminium profiled and composite wall panels
comprise the second largest product group, the key areas of demand being;
warehousing, out-of-town retail 'sheds', waste management and utilities
facilities and industrial units. The impact of the recession on the retail and
industrial sectors has fed through to reduced demand for metal cladding.
With so many different types of cladding products on the market, the supply
base is highly fragmented, although there is a high degree of market
concentration in some sectors.
