Cochebat unveils the first 2022 figures for the hydrodistribution and PCRBT markets

For Remi Bertsch, President of the communication commission of Cochebat: “We remain cautious about our projections for the year 2022, in a context where the new home market remains tense and where more and more property developers are stopping certain operations for economic reasons (shortages, inflation, etc.). The cumulative context of 2020 and 2021 may have led to market destabilization with storage and destocking effects depending on supply fluctuations. »

HYDRODISTRIBUTION: a stable market for multilayer and bearish for PER

The multilayer market is stable. The consequent growth of +17,5% for diameters greater than 32 confirms the growing use of multilayer in risers, both in collective residential and in the tertiary sector.

Polyolefin tubes recorded a drop of -11% in the first half of 2022.

For Rémi Bertsch: “The downturn in construction indicators and individual housing starts in December 2021 and January 2022 is felt in PER sales, which generally follow this trend, with the market lag on the finishing works. »

LOW TEMPERATURE COOLING HEATING FLOOR: Cochebat is concerned about the quality of the systems installed

The market for low-temperature cooling underfloor heating experienced a drop of -8,6%.

Cochebat is concerned about the pressure exerted on prices and the growing shortage of products, which lead installers to favor separate purchases of radiant surface components, to the detriment of the system. However, the performance of the systems is one of the essential elements to meet the requirements of RE 2020 in terms of energy consumption. To meet these requirements, the CERTITHERM mark from COCHEBAT validates complete and efficient systems.
