Market Knowledge Report 2021

The Glass & Glazing Federation, together with two of the organisation’s commercial entities FENSA and BFRC (British Fenestration Rating Council), have combined resources and data, to produce the GGF Group Market Knowledge Report (digital version) for the UK glass & glazing industry.

It is the first to use analytical insights, which have now been combined with factual installation data, for more than four years and in effect, produced for the industry, by the industry.

FENSA has a unique status in the industry. As the largest competent persons scheme in the UK with more than 6,300 Approved Installers, it notifies over 77% of domestic installations registered in England and Wales, and now with a recently established presence in Scotland.  As such, the data presented in this report provides a thorough and accurate representation of the industry’s most recent performance, with data provided from installations completed during the past three and a half years, from January 2018 to June 2021.

The BFRC data provides a breakdown of live domestic licences for windows and doors and also analysis of products by energy rating. When combined with FENSA data, this provides a wide-reaching indication of product trends across the country, both currently and historically.

The GGF provides a broader backdrop of the sector, with combined input from manufacturing, fabrication, installation and also political and social issues impacting on the industry.

This 20 page digital report provides market insights, trends and information that could help with strategic plans for companies in the glass, glazing and fenstration industries.
