Industry Analysis & Industry Trends
The Radiator & Boiler Manufacturing industry manufactures metal radiators, boilers, valves and pipework products for central heating in the building market. The industry and its competing imports supply about three-quarters of heating systems in the United Kingdom, with the balance being mainly electric or gas space heaters. Over 85% of UK homes have steel panel radiators as the primary source of heat emission.
The industry is heavily influenced by demand from the downstream building markets but also receives substantial stimulus from technological advancements in the production of energy-efficient boilers and radiator systems... purchase to read more
Industry Report - Industry Products Chapter
The industry is principally involved in the production of central heating systems and parts for use in housing and non-residential buildings. Many of the larger companies manufacture and market boilers, radiators and associated pipework, while the smaller manufacturers concentrate activity on one of these components.
The bulk of industry revenue (72.9%) is derived from the sale of central heating hot water boilers capable of producing low-pressure steam. Many of these boiler systems are sold as replacements of existing boilers, particularly with government subsidies supporting the replacement of G class systems with EU-recognised A and B class systems... purchase to read more
