Spanish DIY stores’ revenue increases by seven per cent

The DIY stores in Spain increased their like-for-like sales by seven per cent last year. This was announced by the ADFB (Asociación de distribuidores de ferretería y bricolage) according to whom, its members make up more than 90 per cent of the market. It seems like a trend has now been set because the DIY retailers recorded a rise of five per cent in 2014. Previously the industry recorded decreases three years in a row (2011: minus five per cent, 2012: minus nine per cent, 2013: minus six per cent). The strongest quarterly figures were in the first and last quarter of 2015.
