Executive summary

Slow down in market growth

After dynamic market growth in the first half of the review period the value market slowed down. With an expansion of hypermarkets and specialist DIY and Gardening Retailers consumers become used to seeing falling units prices for DIY and Gardening products. Falling unit prices has impacted the sector value performance, negatively. Globally increasing energy and raw material prices also affected and the DIY sector especially building materials. The global economic crisis, which started at the end of 2008 in Hungary, also impacted a little on consumer demand of DIY and Gardening products.

Significant expansion of DIY and Gardening Retailers

While in the beginning of the review period just a few hypermarkets and DIY and Gardening retailers were available in the Hungarian market nowadays its number grew significantly. One of the biggest DIY and Gardening Retailers, the Bauhaus, started their operation in the Hungarian market with two big stores in 2008.

The other main competitors are BauMax, OBI and Praktiker. Both of them increased their store numbers thus intensifying competition which pushed down product unit prices significantly. Their low price level product assortment mainly sourced from Asia, especially in hand tools and their Private Label products also pushed down unit prices.

Important role of Paint/Home Decorations

Paint/Home Decorations subsector was one of the few DIY and Gardening subsectors which grew continuously during the review period. The paint/home decoration habit has changed and developed: manufacturers have developed more environmentally friendly paint products and households are demanding more trendy and fashionably designed wallpapers. Painting and home decoration is a popular home activity compared to building or construction and its unit price is much lower, so consumers update their homes more cheaply and frequently. This is the main reason behind its fastest growing category.

International players dominate

The DIY and Gardening market has changed significantly. While in the beginning of the review period there were numerous DIY specialists and gardening companies nowadays their numbers decreased significantly. The DIY and Gardening market started to concentrate in Hungary at the end of the review period. They could not compete with the big hypermarkets and retailers like BauMax, Obi, Praktiker or Bauhaus wide product assortments and low level unit prices. The hypermarkets offer a wide assortment from local and international brands as well as offering the best solution for their consumers in one place.

Strong worldwide crisis affect

The DIY and gardening market in Hungary is forecast to register a significant decline in value over the 2009-2013 periods. Since disposable income is expected to fall significantly over the forecast period it will quash sector demand as consumers postpone their purchasing. Manufacturers and retailers are likely to stimulate market growth by strong product innovation and fierce price competition. As economies begin recovery in 2010 disposable incomes will increase once again and DIY and Gardening products performance will see less negative effect by the end of the forecast period.
