For the UK construction sector and home renovation industry, there are positive reports when it comes to growth and consumer interest. At a time when buyers’ confidence is uncertain month to month, May 2024’s GfK (Growth from Knowledge) report cites a +0.2% increase in shoppers’ willingness to spend on DIY & Home Improvement services.
This is in contrast to, for example, the Tech and Durables (T&D) market, which the same report indicates saw a decline of 2.6% in Q1. The latest data from Google Trends (at the time of writing) shows a 10% rise in interest levels for the topic of “home improvements” year on year, which bodes well for the construction sector.
With this positive growth, it’s increasingly important for companies and individuals in this industry to source the best products and components to ensure they stand out, and that the projects can be completed to the highest standards. At Rocal Extrusions, we specialise in bespoke, high quality extruded plastic profiles, which are perfect for all kinds of sectors, including home improvement and construction.
Advantages of Plastic Extrusions in Construction
Cost-effectiveness: Plastics are a budget-friendly option compared to other materials, making them ideal for construction projects.
Lightweight: Plastic extrusions are lightweight, facilitating easier transportation and reducing transportation costs.
Corrosion resistance: Plastics' high resistance to corrosion makes them suitable for constructing water pipes, ensuring durability and longevity.
Insulation properties: Plastics provide excellent insulation, electrical insulation, and damp proofing, making them suitable for traditional and modern construction methods.
Growth of the Plastic Extrusion Market in the UK
In the UK, the extruded plastic market is expected to grow further due to innovations in processing techniques, the launch of new plastic products, and increasing consumer awareness of environmentally friendly options. The government's initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and promote the use of recyclable products in packaging and construction also contribute to the market's growth. Plastic extrusions align with these initiatives as they are recyclable and energy-efficient to manufacture.
