UK demand index
Week of 23 October 2026 to 29 October 2026, measured on 30 October 2026. Source: Google Trends, United Kingdom. Next edition 6 November 2026. How this is measured
We track UK search interest in the products we write guides about, and rank them by how far that interest moved over the last seven days against the seven days before. Every figure links to the Google Trends query that produces it, so you can check it yourself.
In the seven days to 29 October 2026, the fastest rising UK product searches we track were electric blanket at +48.2%, sunrise alarm clock at +21.6% and led face mask at +19.1%. The steepest fall was window vacuum at -34.8%. Figures are Google Trends UK search interest against the previous seven days.
Ranked by seven day change in UK search interest. Each term is measured on its own, so a figure in this table describes that term against its own previous week, not against the other terms.
Put tower fan, dehumidifier and heated airer into one Google Trends query for Great Britain and you get all three on the same scale. Re-run on 30 October 2026 over the previous twelve months, the last week fans led dehumidifiers was the week of 9 August 2026, at 18 against 13. Dehumidifiers led the next week at 14 against 7 and have stayed ahead since: 25 against 3 in the week of 13 September, and 38 against 2 in the week of 18 October, the widest gap since the turn. Heated airer went from 1 to 11 on the same scale over the same period.
We call that switch the damp turn: the week UK search demand stops being about moving air and starts being about removing water. In 2026 it landed in the week of 16 August.
The catch is that these are small numbers on a shared scale, so any single week could flip on noise. The gap has not widened in a straight line either, and narrowed to 18 against 2 in the week of 20 September before opening again. The lead has held: dehumidifier has stayed ahead for ten full weeks running, from the week of 16 August to the week of 18 October.
