A recent study explores the outdoor living market and found 86% of fabricators and installers don’t offer solutions like these despite the growth in this industry.
The research, by Caribbean Blinds, highlights that the outdoor furniture market generated a revenue of £1.52bn this year and is anticipated to continue growing across the next five years.
Further analysis into consumer demand demonstrates homeowners have an increasing interest in outdoor living spaces and reports show more people are investing in their gardens to create outside areas for relaxation and entertainment.
This increase in demand for outdoor furniture creates opportunities for installers as it inadvertently leads to a rise in demand for external shading solutions that protect these garden spaces from the sun, wind and rain.
Stuart Dantzic, managing director at Caribbean Blinds, said: “All of the data and research highlights that the outdoor living trend is more popular than ever and shows no signs of slowing down which is fantastic news for installers looking for new opportunities.
“Homeowners designing dedicated areas for relaxing and entertaining in their garden will be on the hunt for a solution that allows them to spend lots of time outside, come rain or shine.
“At Caribbean Blinds, we offer a range of pergolas and patio awnings. Each one has its own set of unique benefits and can be used to help better protect against sun exposure, UV damage and the unpredictable British weather.”
