The downturn in the housing market and key commercial sectors has resulted in difficult market conditions in 2007-10. In particular, the decline in the wall tiles sector, evident from the mid 2000’s, has continued into 2010-11 with the domestic kitchen market now favouring stone, glass and metal upstands rather than tiled splashbacks.
Floor tiles have been more stable with increased value share for harder wearing porcelain tiles in both contract and domestic sectors.
Natural stone floor and wall tiles have continued to take share and have benefited from the trend for higher quality kitchen and bathroom refurbishments in the middle and upper market sectors.
