歐洲DIY零售市場

Abstract

This report series covers the 19 leading economies of Western Europe. In total these countries account for around 98% of all European retail sales, excluding Russia. The remaining ten countries are either too small (eg Luxembourg) or are not sufficiently well developed to warrant detailed coverage (eg Romania and Bulgaria). These developing countries plus Russia and Turkey are covered in the Mintel report on Emerging Markets, 2007.

We have produced Major Profiles of 17 top DIY retailing groups in Europe. For many countries we also include smaller profiles on other significant players, both domestic and foreign as relevant.

This data in its entirety is contained in the single copy 19-country report, which gives a full overview of DIY retailing in Europe. Single country reports, including consumer research analysis, are also available for the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.

The focus of the reports is the DIY superstores, because these are now the dominant players in the sector. Smaller, local stores still survive, but they are almost all owned by independents. They tend either to be broad range hardware stores, or specialist DIY outlets geared towards the trade.
