What started in 1981 as a cooperative between six of the largest home improvement manufacturers and retailers to provide investor education has evolved into the leading market research organization for over one-hundred of the biggest names within the home improvement industry.
Our goal has always been to provide companies of all sizes with actionable resources ranging from raw data to digestible executive summaries to shape their business decisions.
Value
HIRI functions like a co-op, conducting $1 million worth of research and sharing the costs among members. This way, every member gets $1 million worth of value for an order of magnitude less. Plus, you get access to all research HIRI has ever done, not just the current year’s research (which will include over 50 reports in 2021 alone).
Network
HIRI contains some of the biggest names in the industry (such as Home Depot, Lowes, 3M, Ace Hardware, Kohler, and more). Being a member allows you to connect with these companies on a common subject. Plus, you get access to the same information being used by your competitors, partners, and retailers.
Accessibility
HIRI’s research is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week online. You can log in and pull data at a moment’s notice, whether you need it for a presentation, line review, internal meeting or product discussion. You never have to wait.
