Where the Wall & Ceiling Finishes category is moving
Product-page views ran +16% in NZ and -10% in AU in the second half of the window against the first (April–September 2026 vs October 2025–March 2026, consistent series — part growth, part seasonal shape). Enquiry growth is deliberately not stated: pixel coverage expanded during the year, so the two surfaces are shown as levels with the split always visible rather than as a growth rate.

Data source and method
Wall & Ceiling Finishes — Category Report · September 2026 refresh · Region: NZ + AU · Method and scope: period: 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026, every figure per market; category register from the live benchmark table (suppliers with nonzero category product pageviews in the window); all-pageviews from production event data, bots excluded; product-page views are per-supplier max-per-month then summed; saves, downloads, click-throughs, conversations and own-site (pixel) figures from the daily journey ledger over the category register; enquiries shown on both surfaces with the split always visible — pixel coverage expanded during the year, so enquiry growth is not stated; momentum compares April–September 2026 with October 2025–March 2026 inside the consistent series (a February 2025 measurement-basis change prevents honest cross-year comparison) and includes seasonal shape; audience counts are identified organisations and individuals over the four quarters, floors, client staff excluded; supplier distributions published only for markets with at least five listed suppliers, and no individual supplier is named. Aggregate data, safe for prospect use. Reproducible from source on request.
