BHETA Q3 Housewares & SEA Market Update

BHETA and GlobalData are delighted to bring you our quarterly update on what is happening in the Housewares & SEA market.

Q2 delivered some encouraging signs for the UK home enhancement market – but the headline numbers mask significant differences between categories, channels and retailers.

Retail volumes increased during the quarter, online sales accelerated strongly and some major retailers continued to gain market share. Yet consumers remain cautious around larger purchases, trade is outperforming parts of the consumer DIY market, and extraordinary summer weather has created major winners and losers across garden, outdoor living and electricals.
 
The September BHETA/GlobalData Market Report will look behind the headline numbers to identify where growth is really coming from, which retailers and channels are winning, and what suppliers should expect from the remainder of 2026.

The webinar will cover topics including:

• Is the UK home improvement market finally recovering?
• Is big-ticket spending starting to return?
• How much of Q2 growth was driven by the weather?
• What does GlobalData expect for the rest of 2026?
• What could the sale of Argos mean for the market?
• Why is the trade element of DIY Superstores outperforming consumer?

Presented data will cover:

• Government ONS retail sales figures by channel by month
• GlobalData category growth rates
• GlobalData forecasts
• Latest retailer updates from companies in our sector
• Google trends data on how customers are searching in our categories

Written report:

• All attendees will receive a copy of the quarterly report.

 
Who is the event suitable for:

• All BHETA members.
• All retailers in the Housewares, SEA and Trade market.
• Any suppliers in the market who are interested in joining the association and having a taster session

Following the 45 minute presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
