Windows, Doors & Conservatories
With the trade and retail markets declining, fabricators are currently experiencing a period of consolidation. Many smaller fabricators are either going out of business or choosing to buy in their frames and concentrate on installation work.
Where best to concentrate sales and marketing efforts?
As a result of this, suppliers to fabricators are also experiencing difficult times with fewer opportunities available. It is now vital that suppliers understand the way the sector is changing and keep up to date with the latest developments in order to recognise opportunities and stay ahead of the competition. Using the market intelligence within our Window, Door & Conservatory Fabricators database can help you achieve this. For example:

  • Fabricators that are experiencing growth or are confidently investing in production facilities/equipment will be most likely to survive and therefore need to be targeted as a priority.

  • By reviewing fabricators' target markets you can identify those working in the social housing sector, which is currently booming. Local authorities are planning to spend about £1.7bn on replacing windows and doors between now and 2010. In addition, the Housing Corporation's current new build programme aims to build approximately 60,000 new homes. Those fabricators working in this sector will be more likely to experience sustained growth.

  • In the recent Housing Green Paper, the government set a new housing target for 2016 of 240,000 additional homes a year. Fabricators working in the private housebuilding industry will benefit from this increase.
