Hardware & Home Improvement Stores in France industry analysis

In recent years, the home improvement industry has been characterised by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the expansion of online retailing. Both factors have contributed to hardware and home improvement stores expanding their websites, online stores and omnichannel strategies. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 2% over the five years through 2025, reaching €28.5 billion. After strong revenue growth in 2021, high inflation negatively impacted sales growth between 2022 and 2024. Thanks to the anticipated slowdown in inflation, sales are expected to grow by 0.5% in 2025. Price increases have reduced consumers' willingness to spend on non-essential items, with many consumers postponing renovation projects, which was reflected in lower sales volumes at hardware and home improvement stores.

Trends and Insights

  • Stores embrace omnichannel retailing. In a bid to serve as many customers as possible, hardware and home improvement stores are expanding both their in-store and online offerings.
  • Sustainable and efficient products are in vogue. Customers are demanding hardware to be made from sustainable materials, as well as wanting it to be highly energy-efficient.
  • A handful of companies dominate the market. Companies like Adeo and Kingfisher operate a large number of stores across multiple European countries, making themselves the go-to retailer.
