Report Highlights

2013 will see the first Q3 total growth since 2007, due to a string of weak comparatives and better weather in July, which will have reinvigorated consumers' interest in gardening. The DIY sector will have also contributed, with it recording its first quarterly growth in five years, hinting at the first signs of a recovery.

Though the housing market finally returned to growth in 2012 due to the stamp duty holiday boosting Q1 volumes, this has yet to translate into an increase in DIY sales, with the sub-sector expected to record its sixth consecutive annual decline in 2013, of -0.6%.

Growth in the gardening sub-sector has been largely driven by volumes, peaking in Q2 at 13.2% and growing by 2.6% for the whole year. This highlights the pent up demand for seasonal goods among British consumers due to their being little opportunity to spend time in their garden over the past 12 months.
