Future prospects for new housing - medium/longer term up to 2019.The market for bricks, blocks, concrete precast products, cast stone and natural stone peaked in 2007 and reached a low point of in 2012, before starting to recover. Since then, growth has been strong with the market estimated to have grown by around 25% between 2012 and 2014 by value. Current estimates indicate that £2bn threshold will be within reach at the end of 2015. Key specific factors trends that drive this market include the health and performance of the housing sector, levels of public sector investment in major projects and developments, business confidence & investment, as well as consumer confidence and spending.
Bricks were estimated to account for around 30% share of the total market in 2014 within indications that good growth experienced 2013-14 has continued into 2015 with further double digit growth. UK manufacturers of bricks have been placed under significant pressure by a sudden spike in demand after 5 years of volume decline and significant cuts in production. Major players have been reopening mothballed plants, creating jobs and increasing shifts, as well as investing in technology and skills in order to boost output. Imports have also risen significantly in the period 2012-2014.
Precast concrete blocks have seen a similar rise in demand, with sales rebounding in 2013 after two years of decline, and signs of a further strengthening of demand in 2014 and 2015. Block manufacturers have also had to adjust to the surge in housebuilding activity, although according to industry information there are now no discernible shortages, and current demands are being met. The market for precast concrete structural building products increased by around 9% in 2014, with current indications of similar growth by the end of 2015. Natural stone products used in building recorded 10% growth in 2014, following a similar increase in the previous year. However, its value remains significantly below the market peak in 2010.
The total market for bricks, blocks, concrete precast and natural stone products is likely to continue on its relatively strong path of growth in the short to medium term. However, the performance of individual product groups within the overall market will vary, although the general trend is positive. Into the medium-term, annual growth rates of 7-11% are forecast to 2019. In addition, the precast concrete products market is affected by global demand, supply and pricing issues which remain volatile as well as the performance of the UK construction sector. The current trends in the greater construction sector and a broadly positive outlook in the underlying economy, are likely to stimulate further growth in the market. Initiatives aimed at prioritising housebuilding will boost demand, at least in the short to medium term, with the most important of these being plans to build 200,000 'starter homes' by 2020, aimed at first time buyers under 40.
