New JKMR Report on the Kitchen Door Market

A new market research report on the market for kitchen doors and units has been published by JKMR. The Kitchen Door Market Report identifies a huge shift in UK fitted kitchen production over the past decade, away from in-house door production to bought-in products. The report discusses in-depth the impact of this change on the market as a whole, and for door and kitchen manufacturer development in particular. Although particularly aimed at companies that specialise in door or carcase production and supply the new report contains a wealth of data of direct relevance to fitted kitchen manufacturers and anyone with an interest in the UK kitchen furniture production base.

The Kitchen Door Market Report also highlights the differences in growth patterns seen for kitchen door sales against that of carcase sales, caused by a still on-going shift in the type of units being specified within kitchens. Thus, over the last five years drawer stack volumes have risen almost 50%, while by contrast the number of wall units being sold has seen only minimal growth, with a distinct impact on the market potential for doors, as opposed to drawer fronts.

The new report looks at the wider reasons behind these changes, including changing tastes in appliance specification. As well as analysis of absolute market volumes and value, the new report looks at market trends in door material and finish, along with specific analysis of how studio sector sales differ according to the type of furniture brand being specified.

In addition to analysis of historical trends the report considers the potential for market growth over the next 12-24 months, along with an overview of social, economic and demographic factors currently affecting the kitchen market as a whole. Cost for the full report is only £245, and it is also possible to purchase specific sections only.
