– Within the partial bathroom segment, younger consumers are more likely to buy bathroom furniture from general merchandisers and discounters, while affluent older generations are more likely to to purchase from established DIY stores.
– In 2017, 22.1% of bathroom furniture purchases will be made online, up from 20.5% in 2016. This growth is driven by DIY specialists such as B&Q and Wickes, which have significantly improved their websites, as well as online-only players such as Victoria Plum and Soak.com, which stock a huge range and invest heavily in online advertising.
– "Design/new look" has surpassed "replacement" as the chief purchase motivator when buying bathroom furniture and is particularly prevalent among younger generations.
