Download: Market volume (PDF)Consideration must however be given to the fact that the survey refers to different data sources in the individual countries and that several countries are no longer included in the current study. The markets of Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are investigated in the up-to-date version. This European comparison reveals that Germany was still the leading do-it-yourself nation in 2009. With a market volume of € 42.96 bn the German sector is positioned far ahead of France, which has the second-largest European DIY market (€ 19.00 bn). This is reflected in the average spend per household as well. In 2009 the average German household’s spend in DIY stores was € 1 072, a sum that was far ahead of the comparable sum of € 694 spent by French households in second place. In terms of comparable levels of income, the average of € 807 spent by households in Germany on DIY requisites is around twice as much as the € 412 spent by the Portuguese.
