Our Research

Join us as we wel­come Scott Hazel­ton of IHS Mark­it present expec­ta­tions for the econ­o­my and the home improve­ment prod­ucts mar­ket for 2022 and beyond.

As part of our com­mit­ment to pro­vide HIRI mem­bers with some of the best research, we have part­nered with Trend Hunter, a leader in trend spot­ting, to help iden­ti­fied what are some of the trends that play a role in the home, hous­ing, and home improve­ment. As part of this part­ner­ship, we will be releas­ing a series of reports focus­ing on these trends. Along with the infor­ma­tion itself with­in the report, each one gives an oppor­tu­ni­ty to dig deep­er into the var­i­ous top­ics to relat­ed writ­ings and arti­cles sup­port­ing these trends.

Join Matt Craig of HIRI and Tom Allen of Deci­sion Ana­lyst as they dis­cuss trends in small-scale ser­vices, why they are under­tak­en, and what that means for HIRI’s members.

After an uptick in 2020, home improve­ment activ­i­ty remained strong in 2021. This is great news for pro­fes­sion­als in the home and build­ing indus­try, as con­sumer activ­i­ty leads to prod­uct pur­chas­es and over­all mar­ket growth. How­ev­er, not every home improve­ment project is con­duct­ed sim­i­lar­ly, and not every home­own­er approach­es a project in the same fashion.

Many home­own­ers approach their home improve­ment projects with great ambi­tion. Whether they’re skilled with their hands or sim­ply have spare time, the do-it-your­­self approach relies on the home­own­er to tack­le projects with­out out­side help.

Each quar­ter since 2012, the Home Improve­ment Research Insti­tute (HIRI) has sur­veyed approx­i­mate­ly 3,000 home­own­ers for its Home Improve­ment Project Intent Track­ing Sur­vey. The sur­vey asks home­own­ers which of 32 dif­fer­ent home improve­ment project areas (if any) they are plan­ning in the next three months.
