Sales per store of the Home Depot and Lowe's in 2018
Home improvement and DIY retail in the United States
The U.S. home improvement industry has grown steadily over the past years, with continued growth forecast for the coming years. The increasing average home improvement spend of U.S. homeowners highlights the fact that people are putting substantial sums of money into home repair, home improvement and remodeling projects. The Home Depot and Lowe’s dominate the U.S. market, with retail sales dwarfing those of Ace Hardware and Menards. Interestingly, Ace Hardware was the market leader in terms of the number of hardware and home improvement retail stores in operation throughout the United States, while Menards was the most satisfying home improvement retail store for customers.
