The UK rain gutter market is driven by the increasing demand from rainwater harvesting projects across the country. Also, increasing construction renovation activities and growing demand for water conservation across the UK propel the market growth. The spending on house renovation construction activities in the UK is growing at a rapid pace in the UK. According to the annual survey of more than 3,200 UK residents from the leading home renovation and design platform, nearly half of homeowners renovated their homes in 2021. Homeowners recorded a 20% increase (~US$ 23,367) in median renovation spending in 2021.
Leaf-guarded gutters are designed to prevent debris and significantly reduce the need for frequent maintenance and cleaning. The advanced seamless design allows for better water flow and drainage. Advanced guttering systems offer a sleek, modern appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic of the structure. Several key players in the market are developing new material-based rainwater gutter systems. For instance, in June 2023, ARP Ltd. launched a new steel guttering range that offers galvanized steel gutters and downpipes. The launch of new and innovative gutter systems is anticipated to provide growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
Rain gutters are water collection channels used in residential and commercial buildings to prevent water from entering the building's fabric by channeling the rainwater away from the outside of the walls and their foundations. In the affected rooms, water running down the walls causes dampness. Rain gutters reduce the risk of a flooded basement or damaged siding and minimize erosion and damage to landscaping by channeling water out and away from the home's foundation.
Home renovation activities in the UK increased by 55% in 2022 compared to 2021. Homeowners planned spending of US$ 12,978.90 for 2022 for renovation activities in the UK. The increased spending on home renovations across the UK and a surge in expenditure on rain gutters to save the rainwater drive the UK rain gutter market.
Rainwater harvesting uses rain gutters to transfer the water from one place to another. The Millennium Dome uses a water collection system to catch runoff water from its curved structure. It has a surface area of 90,000 m², from which water is collected through a rain gutter. The water is then passed through a series of hoppers to the main storage systems. The Museum of London also embraced large-scale rainwater harvesting with an 850 m² roof and 25,000 liters of storage tank. The annual investment in rainwater harvesting is increasing at a rapid pace owing to a surge in demand for conserving water and an increase in government support and initiatives. The UK government planned to invest more than US$ 124.07 billion in the water-sewage infrastructure between 2025 and 2030. This investment is more than 40% of total investment in the rest of European countries. The number of households receiving funding support with bills for rainwater harvesting in the UK is more than 3.2 million.
The key market players are developing and launching several new designs. Advanced rain gutter systems include seamless gutters, leaf-guarded gutters, heated gutter systems, rain chains, and dispersal systems. These advanced gutter systems are made from a continuous set of pieces of material that eliminates gutter joints and leaks. From these advanced gutters, rain chains and dispersal systems are decorative and alternative to downspouts. They are aesthetically designed to move rainwater from gutters to drains.
