Abstract
US demand to reach $11 billion in 2013
US demand for plumbing fixtures and fittings is expected to grow three percent
annually through 2013 to $11 billion. Gains will be driven by the rebounding
US residential construction market, as housing completions rise from the low
levels experienced in 2008. Continuing consumer interest in having homes with
more and larger bathrooms will promote demand for fixtures and associated
fittings. Further gains in demand will be driven by increasing consumer desire
for fixtures and fittings that reduce water use.
Gains in plumbing product shipments will lag that of demand as imports expand
at a rapid pace. The bulk of plumbing product imports will continue to be from
Asian manufacturers with lower production costs. Low-cost Latin American
producers and European manufacturers of high-end products will also see
increases in market penetration. In 2008, imports comprised 30 percent of US
fittings demand and 15 percent of US fixtures demand. Both fixtures and
fittings will see strong import growth through 2013.
Fittings demand to outpace fixtures through 2013
Demand for plumbing fittings is projected to rise 3.5 percent per year to $5.1
billion in 2013. The residential market will account for the majority of these
gains, as rebounding housing completions and consumer interest in bathroom
renovation projects promote advances in demand. Advances in fittings demand
will be led by increasing interest in low-flow fittings that reduce water
consumption and lower utility bills. Further gains in demand will be promoted
by interest in products that meet the standards for universal access, or
products that can easily be used by all segments of the population. Thus,
older fittings will be replaced with models that are easier for older
Americans or the disabled to use. However, value demand gains will be checked
by metal prices, which are forecast to fall through 2013.
Demand for plumbing fixtures will grow 2.6 percent yearly to $5.9 billion in
2013. Gains will be driven by rising consumer demand for such high-end
products as whirlpool bathtubs and hot tubs and spas, which are perceived to
add luxury and value to homes. Further gains in demand will be promoted by
consumer desire for homes with multiple bathrooms. These bathrooms are usually
outfitted with sink and toilet fixtures, and many of them also have bathtubs
or shower stalls. In the nonresidential market, advances will be restrained by
weakness in construction expenditures, as building projects are scaled back or
cancelled altogether.
Residential market to remain dominant
The residential market accounted for 64 percent of plumbing product demand in
2008. Through 2013, this segment will post above-average demand gains, as
housing completions advance and homeowners continue to upgrade their homes by
adding to and increasing the number of their bathrooms, and expanding and
modernizing their kitchens. These projects often call for the replacement of
many fixtures and fittings.
Demand for plumbing fixtures and fittings in the nonresidential building
construction market will post below-average gains, reflecting reduced
construction spending trends in many segments. As fewer office buildings,
retail centers and hotels are built, there will be less demand for plumbing
products. However, as there is a large stock of existing products that require
replacement, building owners and property managers will opt to replace older
products with more environmentally friendly products to reduce water use and
lower utility bills.
Study coverage
Details on these and other key findings are contained in Plumbing Fixtures
& Fittings, a new Freedonia industry study presents historical demand data
(1998, 2003 and 2008) plus forecasts for 2013 and 2018 by material, product
type, market, and region of the US. The study also considers key market
environment factors, evaluates company market shares and profiles 32 US
industry competitors.
