Verdict Research Limited, Feb 2011, Pages: 214
Introduction
UK DIY & gardening Retailers 2011: Examines the latest developments in DIY & gardening, providing comprehensive analysis of both sectors to identify the key issues impacting each of them and how growth opportunities can be exploited. Details the size of each market, with five year forecasts and analysis of emerging trends. Key retailers in the each sector are profiled and critically assessed.
Features and benefits
- Key metrics of DIY & gardening retailers: sales growth, space, store numbers, store sizes and sales densities.
- Analysis of B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, Focus, The Garden Centre Group, Dobbies, builders merchants, small DIY specialists, and independent garden centres.
- Profiles of key players operating in the location, including operating statistics, recent key events and outlook and market shares for 2006 to 2011.
- Comprehensive analysis of the issues impacting the market, identifying emerging trends and growth opportunities, recommending strategies for success.
Highlights
- The collapse of the DIY & gardening sector which began in 2005 – entirely due to the DIY sub sector – continued in 2010 with a fall we estimate at 0.8% to £12.6bn. We forecast that the market will remain in negative territory in 2011 with a further fall of 0.1% as consumers reel from subdued wage growth, higher taxes and increased living costs.
- DIY, deteriorating further with a decline of 0.9% in 2011, is falling out of fashion, and suffering from a subdued demand for home improvements. Gardening, the sector's saving grace with growth of 1.7% in 2011, is benefitting from the rise in popularity of gardening among a booming older population, and an increasingly warm climate.
- In DIY, specialists are facing more competition, forcing them to diversifying into new categories, exposing them to new rivals, especially in kitchens & bathrooms. In gardening, specialists are coming under huge pressure as more retailers look to capitalise on the growth potential available, changing the competitive dynamics of the market.
