The National Kitchen & Bath Association’s 2017-2018 Market Outlook Study estimates the value of products and materials sold in the residential kitchen and bath market in 2016, and provides market forecasts for 2017 and 2018.

This annual study also provides the market size and forecasts for eight kitchen product categories (cabinets, appliances, countertops, flooring, sinks, lighting, ventilation and faucets) and 11 bathroom product categories (showers, flooring, vanities, bathtubs, countertops, toilets, sinks, lighting, faucets, ventilation and medicine cabinets).

This study was developed relying on various sources, including secondary published market information as well as interviews conducted among key professional segments. Data collected in the 2017 survey was combined with the 2016 report results to generate the projections for 2017 and forecast for 2018.  The new housing projections were calibrated with actual housing construction data and changes in the value of new housing construction, while projections for the remodeling segment were calibrated based on the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies’ estimates of remodeling expenditures.
