Research and analysis highlights
The DIY market is set for serious deterioration. In the short term the market
will be negatively impacted by a depressed housing market, poor consumer
spending sentiment, slow wage growth and rising unemployment. The highly
discretionary DIY sector is set to be one of the sectors most adversely
affected by the recession.
The prospects of the gardening market are more promising. However, in the
short term it will struggle due to its discretionary nature. The market will
experience significant further consolidation driven by Wyevale and the
Tesco-backed Dobbies. The aging population and increasing household
appreciation of gardens will act as a fillip of growth.
Price inflation will be low in the short term as retailers manage declining
demand. In the near term, inflation will increase due to negative exchange
rates and a less competitive market. With demand remaining price inelastic,
inflation will fall in the long term as retailers attempt to take advantage of
volume growth returning to the sector.
