Lightside DIY 2017
The "Lightside DIY 2017", report offers comprehensive insight and analysis of the UK market, the major players, the main trends, and consumer attitudes. It also provides forecasts to 2022.
Lightside DIY will grow 0.3% in 2017, increasing at a lower rate than the total DIY market. Sluggish growth is driven by a decline in housing transactions, and a resultant lack of demand for minor DIY repairs connected with moving home. In addition, consumer confidence is also low versus 2016.
As the housing market picks up and consumer confidence improves, lightside DIY will grow at a faster rate. However, due to the depreciation of sterling the majority of category growth will be inflationary.

Scope
B&Q is the largest lightside DIY retailer. However, B&Q's share has declined, primarily due to the closure of 65 stores and competitor pressure.
It is likely that the growing threat of Amazon, the store expansion plans of B&M and the rollout of the Bunnings store concept across the Homebase estate will lead to an even more competitive DIY marketplace to 2022.
The largest category by market size is fixings.
70.4% of lightside DIY consumers undertook some form of research before buying.
77.6% of shoppers spend less than an hour researching a lightside purchase, indicating how important it is for retailers to carry a wide range of stock to facilitate research in-store.
The volume demand for adhesives including wood and superglue is set to remain steady as consumers increasingly 'make do and mend' and perform minor household repairs themselves.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”
Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.
Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.
