DIY stores in Austria grew by 4.4 per cent in the year 2019. Their overall sales amounted to EUR 2.68 bn. Over a comparable area the rise amounted to 3.0 per cent. These figures, which are based on data from the market research company GfK, have been published by the German industry association BHB.
In Austria too, the industry has profited from the weather phenomena. Analogue to this, the product group garden chemicals/soils/seeds was the strongest driver with a plus of 9.5 per cent. With garden equipment (+8.6 per cent) and wood (+8.1 per cent), two further outdoor assortments were also under the best sold product groups.
Only two segments were not able to generate growth in the year 2019: however with the products "other" (-2.2 per cent) and tiles (-0.8 per cent), no long-term trend can be determined here according to BHB.
