Lightside DIY 2017
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
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.
