A new poll has found that, ongoing into 2015, installers continue to be split as to the impact triple-glazing will have on the window industry, but remain optimistic as to continuing growth. Published January, the third "Emplas State of the Market Report," found that optimism that accompanied recover in 2013 has been eroded, so that only 63% of those polled this time said that they were confident that the industry would sustain growth in 2015. This compares to 98% last year. Mike Crewdson, Sales and Marketing Director at Emplas said: "The industry has perhaps sobered up a little in 2014. Confidence in continued growth is still high at 67%, however, its significantly down on 2013. This may be explained by the fact that initial release latent demand post-recession with the return of consumer confidence has been and gone. This shouldn't, however, be seen as cause for alarm. The possible slowdown in the rate of growth experience by some installers in 2014 compared to the immediate post-recession recover in 2013 is indicative of a return to normality. The industry continues to see growth but growth at a sustainable level." For more information, please visit: www.emplas.co.uk
