Report Highlights

Following the heavy rainfall which severely impacted upon the sector last year, gardening is set to record a very strong recovery in 2013. This sub-sector will be going up against a very soft comparative, will benefit from shoppers seeing gardening as a cheap hobby and shoppers spending more of their home improvement budget going outside.

DIY will also acheive marginal growth in 2013, which will be driven by decorative materials. This will be due to more homeowners conducting small decorating projects to freshen up thier homes with a view to putting their property on the market. This will also support growth in the tools and equipment market.

Growth will remain in the overall market in 2014 though it will slow as gardening struggles against such a strong comparative. DIY will drive growth in 2014, with non-decorative materials leading the way as more shoppers refurbsih thier kitchens and bathrooms, with a view to increaing the value of thier property or after moving house.
