Joinery Installation in the UK industry analysis

Over the five years through 2023-24, industry revenue is forecast to inch downwards at a compound annual rate of 0.7% to reach £14.4 billion. Joiners carry out work for a range of downstream clients, mainly in the construction industry, including residential, commercial and public building markets. Trends in revenue in the joinery installation industry are procyclical in nature and closely follow trends in construction activity.

Trends and Insights

  • Government housebuilding initiatives have underpinned revenue. The UK government is pumping money into building more houses to support the mortgage market. This has spurred demand for joiners, benefitting revenue.
  • Demand for shopfittings and commercial fit-outs has dropped. This is due to the rise of e-commerce as more and more people swap out shopping in brick-and-mortar stores for online shopping.
  • The South East’s bustling economic activity attracts joiners. The region’s popularity as a commercial hub and a growing residential area is lifting construction activity, meaning demand for joiners is following suit.
  • Larger joiners can benefit from economies of scale. The bigger players operate nationally and can therefore make efficiency gains by securing economies of scale, strengthening their market shares.
