UK Kitchens & Bathrooms Market Report 2021: Focus on how COVID-19 Changed Shopper Behaviour - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "UK Kitchens & Bathrooms 2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report looks at UK retail purchases of Kitchens & Bathooms, with a particular focus on how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed and is changing, shopper behaviour compared to previous years.

The second quarter of 2020 witnessed a massive drop in kitchen and bathroom sales as the pandemic emergency and lockdown response both directly (through restrictions on stores, businesses, supply chains and movement) and indirectly (due to impact on consumer confidence and willingness to have tradesman in their homes) saw sales plummet.

However, as the year wore on, recovery took hold. As they spent more time at home consumers were keen to improve kitchens and bathrooms, often re-directing money saved from not going on holiday and other cancelled activities. Moreover, the stamp duty and accelerating housing market also begin to feed through to more expenditure.

In 2021 shoppers for kitchen and bathrooms alike have demonstrated a tendency to be impulsive, to be focused on adding value to their homes and to have an eye on the latest fashions and trends. As with many retail sectors, the pandemic has facilitated a shift to online based browsing and purchasing and this has increased the importance placed on customer reviews.
