* Sources: Local industry organizations information, Inwido’s estimates.
Inwido’s markets are very different from one another. In our strongest markets,
the Nordic region, wood and wood/aluminium products dominate. In other
European countries, such as the UK and Poland, plastic products still dominate.
Generally, the Nordic markets are relatively consolidated – normally with two
to four local players dominating. The other European markets are far more
fragmented.
Current, generally weak market trends mean that Inwido will continue
to assess and implement structural adjustments. However, in the long term,
we see that the underlying need for new and improved homes is considerable.
