DIY Retailing - Europe - February 2011

DIY Retailing - Europe - February 2011

The European DIY market is largely a tale of two halves, with mature Northwest European markets showing little potential for significant growth:


  • Declining or stagnating property markets in Ireland, Spain and the UK.

  • An ageing population is less willing and less able to undertake DIY.

However, there are opportunities elsewhere:


  • Major retailers are moving beyond mature and declining markets to stimulate demand in underdeveloped markets in Eastern/Southeastern Europe.

The European DIY market is largely a tale of two halves, with mature Northwest European markets showing little potential for significant growth:


  • Declining or stagnating property markets in Ireland, Spain and the UK.

  • An ageing population is less willing and less able to undertake DIY.

However, there are opportunities elsewhere:


  • Major retailers are moving beyond mature and declining markets to stimulate demand in underdeveloped markets in Eastern/Southeastern Europe.

  • Mediterranean countries with more basic attitudes to the purpose of DIY: as maintenance rather than lifestyle improvement. There is potential for retailers to help change consumer attitudes.

Introduction


What is a DIY store?


Financial definitions


Abbreviations


Issues in the market


Why has the DIY market been so weak in recent years?


Are there any chances of a recovery?

But aren’t people spending more time at home and going on holiday less?

So what happened to the trend to “Do it for me”

So surely the ageing population is bad news for the DIY sector?

The superstores have seemingly had it all their own way – isn’t it time there was more DIY on the high street?

In a mature market the battle over the next few years will be for market share. So what will attract customers?
