UK Facade Market Forecast and Research Report

UK Facade Market Overview:

The UK facade market is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.10% during 2024-2032The increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings, a focus on sustainable architecture, significant developments in construction technology, the rising popularity of aesthetic and innovative facade designs, and favorable investments in commercial and residential real estate are primarily driving the UK facade market.

UK Facade Market Trends:

Retrofitting and Refurbishment Projects

Retrofitting and refurbishment of existing buildings are becoming more prevalent in the UK facade market. With a significant portion of the building stock being older, there is a growing need to update facades to meet modern energy efficiency standards and aesthetic preferences. This trend is supported by government incentives and regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions and improving building performance. For instance, five years after the Grenfell fire, which claimed 72 lives, the government has banned the specific type of cladding that allowed the blaze to spread so quickly. Metal composite panels with an unmodified polyethylene core are now prohibited on buildings of any height. Facade materials are crucial for fire safety, as the building's exterior is directly exposed to fire. As a result, facade materials will be subject to stringent regulations in the future.

Advent of Advanced Facade Technologies

The integration of advanced technologies is a significant trend in the UK facade market. Smart facades, which include dynamic glass that can adjust its opacity based on sunlight, and integrated photovoltaic panels for energy generation, are becoming more popular. These technologies not only improve the building’s energy efficiency but also enhance comfort and functionality for occupants. The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for facade design and maintenance is also on the rise, improving precision and reducing construction costs and time. For instance, after 2022, the Building Regulations in UK requires newer construction to have lower co2 emissions with a reduction of around 27% from commercial buildings.  Buildings currently account for over 40% of the total UK energy consumption and a similar percentage of the UK CO2 emissions. On a per-household basis, domestic energy consumption increased by 5% in 2021. With such a drive towards energy usage reduction, energy-efficient facades become important.
