Leading Home Improvement Product Sales

Which prod­ucts are lead­ing sales in the con­sumer and pro­fes­sion­al markets?

Con­sumer home improve­ment prod­uct sales rep­re­sent two-thirds of a rapid­ly grow­ing over­all mar­ket. Pro­fes­sion­al home improve­ment prod­ucts sales — which make up just under a third of the over­all mar­ket — have also expe­ri­enced sig­nif­i­cant growth but are expect­ed to slow in 2019.

The Home Improve­ment Research Institute’s (HIRI) Size of Mar­ket Study offers the most in-depth research on home improve­ment prod­ucts dat­ing back near­ly three decades. As the home improve­ment industry’s only prod­uct-focused size of mar­ket study, this research includes five-year fore­casts for the con­sumer and pro­fes­sion­al markets.
