Abstract
In this report, Mintel provides a thorough view of the residential plumbing supplies and services market, including analysis of demographics; industry and product trends; sales data; and custom consumer survey research available exclusively from Mintel.
Specifically, this report examines:
- The “whats” and “whos” of plumbing projects- what projects are getting done the most and who is doing them?
- How the housing market downturn has impacted and will continue to impact the plumbing market.
- A detailed examination of the primary retailers of plumbing supplies, and how they are adapting to a changing market. Also examined are plumbing service providers, and the increasingly blurry line between service providers and retailers.
- Extensive, insightful consumer survey data analysis into all aspects of plumbing, showing where the most lucrative potential lies. This report also provides an in-depth view of the emergency versus renovation aspects of plumbing and how the differences impact the market.
For the purposes of this report, plumbing includes plumbing supplies and services for the residential home improvement market, including repairs, maintenance and improvements. Supplies are sold though stores geared primarily to that market, including home improvement centers, hardware stores, department stores, and other general merchandise stores. Services include the professional labor as well as materials sourced in the course of billing for those projects. Also included are professional services sourced through retailers.
