» KEYSTONE MARKET RESEARCH IS excited to announce the release of the Summer edition of its quarterly UK Consumer Fenestration Trends report , sponsored by Epwin Window Systems . This latest edition provides invaluable insights on developing consumer behaviour and trends within the fenestration industry , with a special focus on smart home technology .
In this Summer edition , we look at the shifts in consumer behaviour from the Spring to the Summer survey results , highlighting demographic variances , material and style preferences for windows and doors . We also consider homeowner priorities , changes in purchasing motivation , and budget allocations , which positively has swung into increased spend indicated for the latter half of this year .
A standout feature of this edition is our in-depth analysis of homeowner views on smart home technology — a topic that has consistently ranked as the lowest priority for consumers in our surveys this year . Through our detailed study , we sought to determine whether this low ranking is due to a lack of interest or awareness among homeowners . We are pleased to share the findings , which uncover not only what functionality homeowners desire in smart home offerings but also the barriers preventing them from adopting these innovations .
Charlotte Hawkes , Director of Keystone Market Research , comments : “ Feedback on our previous reports has been really positive , and we are confident that this Summer edition will continue to deliver strategic value and practical insights . By examining smart home technology preferences and obstacles , we aim to equip businesses with the knowledge to overcome these barriers and better cater to consumer needs .”
Additionally , this edition presents fenestration preferences analysed by homeowner type , based on the well-regarded Mosaic ® profiling system . By distinguishing varying tastes among different types of homeowners — from young “ Aspiring Homemakers ” to “ Senior Security ” retirees — our report provides businesses with the insights necessary to effectively target diverse homeowner segments .
Looking ahead , our Autumn report promises to be the most comprehensive yet , drawing from the views of over 4,000 homeowners — the largest published dataset of its kind .
