Trends in the packed products market in the UK

BDS first published an analysis of the packed products market in the UK in 2006. This was at a time when there was limited available marketing information on the packed aggregates and prepared cementitious products industry.

There remains today very little in the way of publicly available information. In response to this BDS has published a major update on the sector providing a clear picture of its current status. This was completed in October 2011.

The new report provides analysis of: -

The market has been analysed from two perspectives – companies producing packed products and those selling them. Over 90 companies operating nearly 160 sites producing packed products have been identified, including individual outputs estimates by plant. Details of these individual sites are contained in a separate BDS report, “Estimated outputs of packed products plants”, published at the same time.

Further research was carried out with sellers of packed products including interviews with builders merchants, DIY stores and garden centres.

For the purposes of the survey, packed products were split into three categories:

This survey includes bulk bags as well as the traditional 40kg, 25kg, 20kg and smaller sizes. It excludes the packed cement market.

The report is an essential aid in developing strategy and identifying merger and acquisition opportunities. It should be read by all aggregate and cement producing companies and suppliers to the packed products industry.
