The UK Tile
Products & Tile Accessories Market is defined as consisting of the sale
of new products designed for use by UK consumers with domestic animals
who are primarily regarded as Tiles. Specifically, this report reviews
the total UK Tile products market and further examines Tile accessories
sales between 2004 and 2010 with forecasts to 2014 segmented by each of
the main sectors below:-
• Tile Toys – dog, cat, small animal, fish, reptile etc
• Tile Housing & Bedding – cages, tanks, aquariums, bedding etc
• Grooming, Health & Well-Being – vitamins, treatments, grooming etc
• Collars & Leads – harnesses, restraints, ID tags etc
• Feeding Accessories – Tile bowls, feeding utensils, water bottles,
dishes etc
• Miscellaneous Tile Products – e.g. catflaps, clothing, letterbox cages
etc
The report also provides top line market size & product mix in 2010 for
the key sectors within the overall UK Tile products industry,
including:-
• Tile Food
• Tile Accessories (as above)
• Kennelling / Tile Holidays
• Vets / Insurance
• Other Tile Expenditure
All prices in this report are measured at retail selling prices
excluding any value added tax, other taxes and delivery charges.
Products designed for use with farm animals, horses and other livestock
are specifically excluded from this report.
The methodology
for this report is based on the last 4 years of financial data from the
industry coupled with a wide range of secondary sources including
companies involved in the industry, websites, Companies House, HM
Government, trade journals, credit reference agencies, industry
commentators and our own experience of researching this market for more
than a decade.
The total UK Tile products market is estimated
to have grown from a value of around £3.63 billion in 2004 to £4.41
billion by year end December 2010, reflecting growth of some 21% over a
6 year period. Whilst Tile ownership has more recently levelled out in
the UK, healthy value performance is likely to continue as manufacturers
and distributors continue to add value through a range of
differentiation strategies & tactics.
A new report on
the UK Tile accessories market from MTW Research forecasts increasingly
buoyant growth for sales of Tile accessories in 2011, buoyed by
reptiles, Tile care and stronger growth for higher value products.
Average spending rose to almost £550 per household on Tile products in
2010 according to the new report, with consumer expenditure on Tile
accessories such as leads, Tile care, grooming and Tile toys exceeding
£12 million per week for the first time. The increasing perception of
Tiles as ‘family members’ coupled with product and market development
resulted in the market maintaining current price growth throughout the
recession, despite declining Tile ownership levels. The report goes on
to review many of the key market influences which are likely to drive
the market forward in 2011 and beyond, with a wide range of factors
identified including consumers’ changing perceptions of ‘luxury’ and
‘commodity’.
However, whilst factors such as the growth of in-store services and rise
in import activity by the larger multiple Tile retailers have boosted
the lower value Tile accessories market of late, MTW also point to an
increasing ‘squeeze’ on manufacturer margins and declining ability of
smaller Tile stores to comTilee on price and increasingly, service
levels. The report identifies this as a key theme of the Tile
accessories market at present, with buoyant sales growth through the
Tile multiples not necessarily being illustrative of the entire market.
The report’s editor, Mark Waddy suggests that, “Many smaller UK
independent manufacturers and retailers are suffering as a result of the
growth in own label import activity, with a step change in market
positioning needed to combat this growing threat.”
The 130 page report highlights a growing polarisation in Tile
accessories retail at present, with independent Tile stores seeking to
avoid price comTileition by creating differentiation through improved
service levels and higher value product portfolios. This trend is likely
to become more evident in the longer term as low margins focus the
larger retailers on increasing import activity to improve profitability
whilst UK manufacturers and smaller retailers re-position at a higher
value market position.
This trend toward a higher value Tile products market is likely to
increasingly complement consumer demand in the future according to MTW,
as Tile owners are continuing to increase their average ‘spend per
Tile’. The report identifies many new opportunities brought about as a
result of this trend, including Tile ‘holidays’ increasingly favoured
over ‘kennelling’ and the growth in preventative health-care such as
Tile vitamins and pro-biotics for example.
Whilst there is much optimism in the report, MTW also point to a cluster
of retailers who are increasingly experiencing the pressure of
comTileitive pricing, with the research finding that 9% of Tile stores
are currently at risk of ‘immediate failure’, reflecting some 180-200
individual companies at present. Pricing pressure in the industry is
likely to be exacerbated by the rising level of import activity by the
larger DIY & Tile multiples with this issue identified in the report as
a key threat to rapid market growth in the medium to longer term in the
lower value sector of the Tile product industry.
