The development of corner designs with the bath offset have also been a long-term trend. However, the popularity of corner baths has declined in recent years along with space considerations
While the market for baths has increasingly been dominated in recent years by acrylic/plastic products, the UK residential market for toilets remains strongly dominated by ceramic products

Key trends in the development of the shower market include demand for single person households, other restraints on property sizes and the growth of en-suites
The mixer/power shower sector has achieved a high level of growth in recent years in line with demand for more powerful, higher specification products, such as electrical power showers
Figure 27: The UK market for showers and shower enclosures, 2009-13
Figure 28: Segmentation of UK market for showers, by application, 2013
The trend for larger shower enclosures is linked to an increase in power showers and demand for higher quality, higher priced products
The market is diverse when it comes to brassware style, from traditional taps and mixer designs through to the more modern minimalist appeal with clean lines and simplistic styling
The ageing UK population has seen an increase in style and design incorporated into the more functional tap ranges, which offer easy-to-grip control for the elderly and the lessable

Kitchen products
Market conditions for the kitchen furniture industry have been very poor in the last few years, with a number of factors suppressing demand
Against this, there have been a couple of counter developments, even during the economic downturn
