DIY review

Article Abstract:

The UK's do-it-yourself (DIY) market amounted to 7.24 billion pounds sterling in 1997, up 19% from 1992. The one significant factor affecting the market is the position of the housing market, which has greatly improved during the period. The main sectors in the market are home decoration products, DIY tools and ironmongery, building materials and self-assembly furniture. The market for DIY products, at current prices, is forecast to grow from 7.42 billion pounds sterling in 1997 to 8.90 billion pounds sterling in 2001.
