Our Research

Under­stand con­sumer pur­chas­ing dynam­ics regard­ing 16 home improve­ment prod­uct cat­e­gories, and how those dynam­ics might have changed com­pared to pri­or years. Areas explored include retail shop­ping activ­i­ty, the aver­age amount spent, retail­er pur­chase rea­son and sat­is­fac­tion, cross-cat­e­go­ry pur­chas­ing and more.

This cus­tom research high­lights the growth of smart home devices and solu­tions, includ­ing the increased val­ue of tech­nol­o­gy, role of the home net­work and Wi-Fi solu­tions, and the impact of the pan­dem­ic on home improve­ments and sec­ond home ownership.

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.
