Executive summary

Slow but stable growth in market

Since 2001, the DIY and gardening market experienced slow and stable growth without any decline in value or volume sales. All subsectors posted positive growth, with the best performers in percentage terms being building materials, millwork/door/windows, barbeques and gardening structures. However, this was largely due to their lower starting bases and market values in each of these subsectors remains low compared to other subsectors.

Electrical supplies, paint & horticultural goods driving growth

Electrical supplies, paint/home decorating, and horticultural goods were the main drivers of growth in actual terms over the 2001-2006 review period, generating the largest volume sales among all the subsectors in the combined market as well as commanding higher than average market values. These three subsectors also posted significant growth rates in percentage terms over the review period.

Economic boom boosts consumer spending

2006 was a year of high economic growth in Singapore, with a spectacular rise of nearly 8% in 2006 and a record number of new jobs created. With prospects of continued economic prosperity, this created a feel-good sentiment amongst consumers, increasing their propensity to spend on impulse purchases and as a result, increasing consumer spending overall. This underpinned rising sales in the retail sector, including the DIY and gardening market.

Singapore continues efforts to transform itself into a “Green City”

As awareness of environmental conservation increases and gains in popularity, the government continues to intensify efforts to transform Singapore into a “Green City”. In particular, the government has been promoting community gardening in apartments/flats by organising events such as an international flower and garden show, and campaigns such as the “Community in Bloom” and “Green Fingers” programs. These had the effect of increasing the visibility and popularity of gardening as an environmentally-friendly activity.

Bright forecast for the market with stable growth expected

The DIY sector is expected to continue to grow over the forecast period. Much of this growth is expected to stem from more aggressive marketing on the part of the DIY mega-chains in Singapore. This in turn will be the result of the increasing popularity of DIY for home improvement, repairs and maintenance among the local populace. Some of the largest DIY mega-chains have major expansion plans, with Home-Fix planning to open at least three new retail stores in Singapore in 2007 alone.

The gardening sector will see further growth due to the popularity of gardening as an environmentally-friendly and healthy activity among the flat/apartment residents of in Singapore which account for more than 90% of the population.
