The UK DIY & Gardening report offers a comprehensive insight into the DIY & Gardening markets in the UK, analysing the sectors, the major players, the main trends, and consumer attitudes, as well as providing market forecasts out to 2028.
After a challenging 2023, when sales fell by 0.7%, the DIY & gardening market is forecast to see a subdued rise of 0.1% in 2024 with the DIY market dragging down total sales. Spend on DIY has been hit by consumers putting off making major investments in their houses, exacerbated by the weak housing market, with sales forecast to fall by 0.3% in 2024. Meanwhile, gardening has had a slightly better 2024, with the market growing by 0.9% as it came up against two years of weak comparatives and consumers bought small-ticket items like plants and seeds, while outdoor furniture has seen a poor year due to unseasonable weather. The DIY & gardening market is forecast to return to growth of 2.9% in 2025 as consumer confidence should rise and activity in the housing market picks up, leading to consumers undertaking more major DIY & gardening projects.
