The 7th edition of the Residential Garden Buildings and Structures Market Report reviews the market size, structure, key product sectors, supply and distribution structures, and provides forecasts of market development through to 2025.

The market has experienced growth between 2016 and 2019 benefiting from improving consumer confidence and spending as well as factors such as an improving housing market, increased levels of homeworking, trend for secondary residential garden buildings and growing popularity in ‘outdoor living’ and spending time in the garden. Rather than curbing market growth, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increase in demand for detached garden buildings and structures and more disposable income became available to spend on big ticket garden renovation projects. However, the impact of Covid-19 pandemic was negative in the conservatories and glazed extensions sector of the market.

Other factors that impact on the market include the weather, ‘grow your own’ activities, and a shift in consumer demand towards insulated all year around buildings which drives some of the product development in the market. There has been an increase in the use of garden buildings for working from home and a wide range of leisure activities as well as a trend for upgrading specification and increased customisation of buildings.

The different sub-sectors vary in their maturity, with the conservatories, sheds and greenhouses sectors representing mature sectors compared to other less mature sectors such as all year around use garden rooms. The high household penetration of conservatories, sheds and greenhouses means these sectors are more dependent on upgrading and replacement products. Whereas the lower penetration of other sectors such as garden rooms allows for higher levels of growth.

Prospects for the garden buildings and structures market into the medium-term remain optimistic. The range of factors influencing the market include wider macro-issues such as the UK economy, post Brexit trade issues, materials availability, consumer confidence & spending and housebuilding & house moving levels as well as more product specific issues, such as design trends, product specifications and product developments.
