1. DIY Retailing - Germany - May 2013
Households faced with the addition of new subsidies on their energy bills provide a market for DIY retailers
to tap. Energy-saving products and services, such as home insulation, smart meters and energy-saving advice,
can be bundled and marketed by DIY retailers.
This report series covers the 19 leading economies of Europe. In total these countries account for around 95%
of all European retail sales, excluding Russia. The focus of the report is the DIY superstores, because these are
now the dominant players in the sector. In many markets, core DIY – paint, wallpaper, screws, tools
etc. – is now a small part of the DIY sector proposition. Many of the large European DIY retailers are
broad-range home-improvement stores with substantial gardening ranges.
