Home Improvement Stores in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

This old house: Industry retailers will increase their service offerings to remain competitive

Operators in the Canadian Home Improvement Stores industry cater to a wide variety of markets, including professional, do-it-for-me (DIFM) and do-it-yourself customers (DIY). Industry players offer a broad range of products aimed at improving existing structures and constructing new ones. While the industry is heavily reliant on the health of the overall economy, industry performance is also dependent on dynamics in construction-related markets. Over the past five years, volatile construction markets and external competition have become more prominent, posing a threat to industry operators. Despite the coronavirus hindering consumer confidence, industry revenue grew in 2020. As a result, industry revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 3.1% to $36.9 billion over the past five years, including a decrease of 4.2% in 2023 alone.
