2 Study Highlights Demand for residential kitchen and bath countertops is forecast to increase 3.9 percent per year to $14.1 billion in Laminate countertops will continue to account for the largest share of countertop shipments, with nearly 40 percent of demand in value terms and almost 65 percent of demand in volume terms in Advances in countertop demand will be stimulated by growth in the remodeling segment, partly because kitchen and bathroom improvements are among the more popular home remodeling projects, and countertops account for a sizable portion of the average expenditures for each. Among geographic markets, the South is forecast to post the strongest gains through 2005, driven by a better outlook for new housing starts and housing stock compared to other regions. In 2000, the leading suppliers of solid surface materials -- DuPont, Wilsonart, Formica, LG Chem (LG Group - Korea) and Avonite (Mitsubishi - Japan) -- accounted for 90 percent of demand in volume terms. * Counters used in the laundry room or on wet or dry bars are not included in this study. Additionally, the surfaces installed on tables, rolling utility carts and other furniture are excluded from this study. Freedonia Industry Study 2

6 Market Environment The Market Environment Section discusses factors influencing countertop demand, including consumer spending, building and demographic trends. This information provides you with an understanding and an analysis of the climate in which the kitchen and bath countertops industry operates. MARKET ENVIRONMENT Pricing Trends Average prices for countertops at the fabricator s level are forecast to increase 1.2 percent per year to $26.90 per square foot in This movement is largely a SAMPLE PAGE result of a shifting product mix toward higher value types of countertop materials. Other factors include ongoing product innovations, and the incorporation of customized value-added details. However, further gains will be restrained by a competitive pricing environment that has made it difficult for manufacturers to raise their prices. In general, the price of any particular countertop depends upon the materials used to construct it and the amount of customization involved. Stock countertops are less costly than custom countertops made of the same material. Average prices are based on estimates of the value of demand in relation to the total square footage sold. However, there can be significant differences in the prices for individual products, depending on material quality, durability, color, pattern and a variety of other factors. The underlying prices of the materials used in the fabrication of countertops also influence pricing trends for countertops. The price of laminate countertops depends on several factors, including the thickness and quality of the laminate sheet. The price also varies based on the color of the sheet, since patterns are more expensive than solids and bright colors more expensive than basic neutral colors. The least expensive type of laminate countertop is a basic, pre-fabricated, post-formed countertop, since it is made with a thin laminate sheet in a stock size with a standard edge and backsplash. From 1995 to 2000, the average price of a laminate countertop rose 2.9 percent in response to a shift in product mix toward higher end laminates, including thicker sheets, better surface coatings and the more prevalent use of patterns, such as those resembling natural stone. This trend is expected to continue through Solid surface countertop pricing also depends on surface thickness, the amount of fillers, the type of resin used, the color and the price of raw materials.

Outline your strategic plans for five and ten years out. Establish sales goals. PRODUCTS Bathroom Countertops - Remodeling In the remodeling sector, sales of bathroom countertops are expected to increase three percent per year to million square feet in Demand for SAMPLE PAGE bathroom countertops in the remodeling sector is primarily restrained by an expected deceleration in home remodeling expenditures. However, adding another bathroom is one of the most popular remodeling projects. Additionally, bathrooms are one of the areas most likely to be remodeled when home improvement tasks are undertaken, particularly among consumers over the age of 40. Installing a higher value countertop is one of the most popular components of bathroom renovation. Many homeowners want to include higher end types of countertops in their home, but the high costs are prohibitive in the kitchen because the counter is so much larger than in a bathroom. Bathroom renovations give consumers a lower cost opportunity to incorporate a surface such as granite, solid surface or high end tile. In fact, solid surface countertops were the second most widely used type of bathroom countertop in 2000 and are expected to achieve the strongest gains through However, solid surface countertops are designed to last for a very long time, so the increasing installation of these countertops may dampen replacement demand over time. Laminate countertops continue to account for the vast majority of remodeled bathroom countertop demand, registering a 56 percent share of sales in The fact they do not last as long as other surfaces drives replacement demand. Additionally, laminate countertops are inexpensive and perform well in the wet bathroom environment. Tiles and other materials such as cultured marble are also frequently incorporated into remodeled bathroom countertops.

8 Demand by Market & Region These Sections analyze trends and consider the threats and opportunities in each of the major markets for countertops. The information presented will help you: Focus your sales and marketing efforts on high growth areas. Propose new areas for development. MARKETS New Construction - Manufactured Housing Demand for countertops in the new manufactured housing market is expected to grow four percent per year to 14.7 million square feet in Unlike other SAMPLE PAGE sectors of the new construction market, this rate represents an increase from the 1995 to 2000 period, a time marked by declining manufactured housing starts. Gains in countertop sales to new manufactured housing will far outpace the new construction market average, albeit from a small base. Growth will be driven by a projected rebound in manufactured housing placements and an expected increase in the average size of new manufactured housing units. The countertop market will also benefit from a trend toward the production of manufactured homes which more closely resemble conventional site-built homes, featuring larger kitchens and more luxurious bathrooms compared to the more basic versions previously built. Similar to production builders of single unit homes, manufactured housing builders are likely to offer generally lower cost countertop materials such as laminates. Countertop Demand The builders in are the also Midwest likely to offer few styles as another way of keeping total (million square feet) costs down. In fact, manufactured home builders may have supply contracts with countertop material suppliers for particular styles. This is because their primary goal is to offer a lower cost alternative to site-built homes. For example, in many Item regions, manufactured housing can cost ten to 35 percent less per square foot compared to a conventional site-built home.

In fact, these activities are becoming even more important as many manufacturers attempt to further differentiate their products and compete in new areas. Ongoing research and development activities have resulted in countertops that feature qualities such as increased scratch resistance, greater durability, lower cost and enhanced aesthetics. SAMPLE PAGE Despite being a lower end, more commodity type countertop material, much of the ongoing development has been in the laminates sectors. For example, Nevamar introduced in 2001 an improved version of its ARMORED PROTEC- TION surface coating known as ARMORED PROTECTION PLUS. As with the original, it is a thin layer of aluminum oxide applied to the melamine surface of the laminate for increased protection against loss of surface gloss and other everyday damage. However, the newer version is a thinner coating to provide improved pattern clarity and color fidelity. Other developments also cover aesthetics and pattern image quality. For instance, a photographic process is generally used to provide the image, and the rotogravure cylinder printing process which applies the pattern on the laminate surface has improved with the use of computers, digital printing and pearlescent inks so that the patterns have more depth and look more realistic. However, there have been relatively few entirely new product innovations. One such product is engineered stone, which is also known as quartz surfacing. Although it is not a new product on the world market, having been developed by Breton SpA (Italy) in 1977, it is new to the US, where it was first introduced in 1998 and The material only began to catch on in any scale when DuPont introduced its version, ZODIAQ, in mid Engineered stone is a surfacing Order form on last page 9
