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 1997 and 2007.

In depth analysis of the key issues facing DIY retailers.
10 year trading records with key operating statistics and market share analysis for the leading operators.

Highlights

After two successive years of decline, the DIY & gardening market is set to return to growth in 2007. We estimate the market will increase by 3.1% during the year compared with a fall of 0.2% in 2006.

In 2007 retailers have also had to work a lot harder to achieve growth with, in many cases heavy investment needed to stimulate consumer spending.

It is up to DIY retailers to stimulate market growth. The likes of B&Q and Homebase are rising to the challenge, investing heavily in a range of areas, with the aim to broaden their appeal to a wider customer base, provide more inspiration to shoppers and encourage them to increase their DIY spending.
