The methodology for this report is based on the last 3 years of financial data from more than 100 builders merchants, coupled with a wide range of secondary sources from websites, Companies House, HM Government, trade journals, credit reference agencies, industry commentators and our own experience of researching this market for more than a decade. The report is also unique in that a 2014 turnover and profit estimate is provided for every company reviewed.

The report also revealed that key growth sectors have included domestic new build and commercial refurbishment.
The report forecasts market sales growth to 2019, and although this does vary across different markets, the general message is one of optimism for most building product sectors.
Contractors are set to increase their expenditure on tools and equipment in 2016 which should further boost the merchants next year.
Commenting on the findings, Mark Waddy, director at MTW Research, said: “There are clear indications of strengthening profitability for most merchants, tempered to some extent by rising debt levels. Nevertheless, our forecast models indicate that merchants profitability will rise by around 30% in the next few years, underlining a fundamental strength in the market for 2016 and beyond.”
Prospects are for builders’ merchants to benefit from growth in several end use sectors, notably the private house building market and private refurbishment within housing and non-housing applications.
While public expenditure will decline in the current Parliament, MTW Research indicates that this ‘slack’ will be more than accounted for by growth in the private sector refurbishment and newbuild sectors.
The report also points to an increase in demand from the industrial construction and refurbishment sector as business confidence strengthens, sustaining demand growth for builders’ merchants.
