BEIS lists BMBI as data source

It’s a milestone for BMBI, achieving one of its main objectives in becoming a recognised index for construction by government, economists, business and the media.

The BMBI is a brand of the BMF (Builders Merchants Federation), set up and produced by MRA Marketing using gold standard data from GfK, one of the largest global insight agencies. In the BEIS Construction Update, the Index is highlighted alongside other recognised data providers, such as the Office of National Statistics, the Construction Products Association, IHS Markit, Experian and the Bank of England.

The BMBI is the most reliable source of data for RMI, the UK repair, maintenance and improvement market. It’s based on actual sales data from GFK’s builders merchants panel, which analyses sales by value from over 80% of the country’s generalist builders’ merchants.

Reports are published monthly, with more in-depth analysis and insight quarterly. Fourteen leading industry experts speak for their markets, explaining trends and issues and adding insight and context to the data.
