New DIY market study

Fediyma, the European manufacturers' umbrella association, has published its World DIY Report 2007. This survey investigates the major DIY markets all round the world, gives an overview of consumption and of the most significant DIY chains in the different countries (status: December 2006). The connections between retail multiples, buying organisations and cooperatives are demonstrated as well. What is more, the survey gives an overview of the future business outlook and offers a great number of contact details. It is priced at € 260.- for Fediyma members and € 420.- for non-members (info@bau-und-diy.de).
You can find some of the data from the World DIY Report 2007 under the TradeTopics heading at DIYglobal plus (v. below: Other articles on this topic).
