Synthèse
The global DIY market has demonstrated steady growth, with the industry estimated at $850 billion globally by 2021. In France, the market experienced a 10.2% growth in 2021, reaching nearly €34 billion, largely driven by the recovery of the construction sector and the growing popularity of "do it yourself" trends.
The COVID-19 pandemic initially caused a sharp decline in sales, but a subsequent surge ensued as consumers engaged more in DIY projects during lockdown, with Google Trends showing a spike in interest for "DIY" in April 2020. E-commerce saw an 84% increase in turnover in 2020, underlining the surge in online sales. Despite an initial contraction in household purchasing power due to the pandemic, the DIY market has continued to benefit from the trend, particularly influenced by a boom in older home sales leading many new owners to undertake renovations themselves. The DIY industry appears to be on a trajectory of growth boosted by both rising consumer enthusiasm and the expanding second-hand market.
Evolving Consumer Trends in the Do-It-Yourself Market
In the DIY market, consumer profiles have shifted, signifying an incline towards a younger, more affluent clientele. Exclusive Do-It-Yourselfers primarily living in rural areas, and do-it-yourselfers and decorators in peri-urban zones, are the dominant consumer segments, indicating a robust market movement towards enhancing functionality and comfort at home. Interestingly, a growth movement is noted among exclusive decorators residing in urban settings, suggesting a burgeoning interest in aesthetic home improvements. Frequency of engagement with DIY activities elucidates the market's occasional nature, with around 45% of individuals partaking in DIY projects at least once monthly or several times yearly. Moreover, an impressive 21% engage in DIY endeavors weekly, illustrating the deep integration of these activities into regular household routines. It seems that necessity drives the majority of these projects, but a significant subset of 20% engages in DIY strictly out of necessity.
The driving force behind DIY purchases is predominantly the pleasure it provides, complemented by practical needs such as repairs or budget constraints. Remarkably, the pleasure factor saw a 3 percentage point increase, demonstrating a shift in consumer motivation towards enjoyment rather than mere necessity. The building and construction market serves as a critical stimulus for the DIY sector.
The market has experienced steady expansion, with particular segments such as maintenance-renovation showing labor market robustness. This connection is further illustrated by the increased activity in older home sales, which often necessitate renovation work. Household power structures have also shifted, with a decline in early 2020 followed by a modest uptick. This mixed influence on the DIY market, coupled with an increasing number of individuals partaking in DIY for pleasure rather than financial or repair-driven needs, suggests a burgeoning market grounded in personal satisfaction.
Despite the enthusiasm for DIY, certain barriers remain, primarily budgetary constraints. Buyers are discouraged by both the costs and lack of expertise required for specific projects. Acknowledging this, market players have adapted by offering more personalized services to instill confidence and increase online purchasing conversion rates. The result has been a positive trend, despite temporary setbacks due to economic fluctuations and changing consumer habits, bearing witness to the underlying resilience and appeal of the DIY market.
