Heavyside DIY 2016; Market size, market forecast and recommendations
Consumers are driving steady increases in Heavyside DIY spend. The allure of innovative new products and an appreciation of the benefits of careful investment is helping the category to grow, in spite of an ongoing climate of weak confidence and general lack of appetite for major expenditure. Even with ongoing uncertainty over the housing market and ‘Brexit’, shoppers are able to find value in heavy DIY expenditure.
Scope
• Decline in major projects Consumers have restricted appetites for certain major projects such as new driveways, replacing windows, decking garden areas and making alterations to the internal layout of a house. These projects are particularly impacted because they do not necessarily add much value and this has hit demand for products such as windows and building materials.
• Focus on design Over the last five to eight years, consumers have become more savvy and there has been an increased focus on value for money. In Heavyside DIY this has boosted demand for cheap products that are still able to dramatically improve the function and appearance of a house, such as underfloor heating and vertical radiators.
• Environmentally friendly, efficient products Awareness of value for money, as well as a gradual trend towards environmentally friendly products, has also boosted more environmentally friendly, efficient products, such as insulation and cladding, both of which can reduce heating bills.
• More use of tradesmen A greater understanding of the benefits of DIY, developed over the last five years, has also brought greater appreciation of what skilled tradesmen can do. The proportion of consumers hiring tradesmen in the past 24 months has increased

“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.
