Abstract
This report series covers the 19 leading economies of Western Europe. In total
these countries account for around 98% of all European retail sales, excluding
Russia. The remaining ten countries are either too small (eg Luxembourg) or
are not sufficiently well developed to warrant detailed coverage (eg Romania
and Bulgaria). These developing countries plus Russia and Turkey are covered
in the Mintel report on Emerging Markets, 2007.
We have produced Major Profiles of 17 top DIY retailing groups in Europe. For
many countries we also include smaller profiles on other significant players,
both domestic and foreign as relevant.
This data in its entirety is contained in the single copy 19-country report,
which gives a full overview of DIY retailing in Europe. Single country
reports, including consumer research analysis, are also available for the UK,
France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
The focus of the reports is the DIY superstores, because these are now the
dominant players in the sector. Smaller, local stores still survive, but they
are almost all owned by independents. They tend either to be broad range
hardware stores, or specialist DIY outlets geared towards the trade.
