Summary

Introduction

UK DIY and Gardening Retailers 2006 analyses the DIY & gardening market as it enters a mature stage, characterised by slow growth. The report looks at the market dynamics, growth trends and drivers, key indicators and profiles the leading operators in the market including B&Q, Homebase, Argos, Focus and Wickes, covering market share performance between 2001 and 2006.

Scope

Market size, sales and growth rates for the DIY and gardening markets overall and at category level.
10 year trading records with key operating statistics and market share analysis for six leading operators.
Space allocation by product category across the leading players.

Highlights

The DIY and gardening sector is set to record a second consecutive year of declining sales in 2006. The decline of -0.2% will not be as drastic as the -3.2% fall experienced in 2005, but will nonetheless make DIY one of only two retail sectors (alongside music & video) to report negative growth this year.

DIY retailers can no longer rely on consumers to resume spending again and must do more to entice them back to stores. As well as wooing back lapsed shoppers, retailers must do more to make stores welcoming to non-DIY shoppers. DIY retailers must adopt a more proactive stance to grow the market and reignite consumer demand.

Following a torrid 2005, we believe B&Q is getting its house back into order. It is rethinking its business model with a focus away from physical expansion towards a culture where driving underlying sales is the key objective.
