Home enhancement professionals can gain the latest insight into the UK home enhancement market this September, with two online Q3 market update webinars covering DIY & Gardening and Housewares & Small Electricals (SEA).
Both sessions will take place on Tuesday 22nd September 2026 and will explore the latest market performance, retailer developments, consumer behaviour and forecasts, helping suppliers understand the opportunities and challenges ahead.
What will the sessions cover?
- 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 remainder of 2026?
- What could the sale of Argos mean for the market?
- Why is the trade element of DIY superstores outperforming consumer DIY?
The webinar will also look at retailer and channel performance, helping suppliers understand where growth is coming from and what could influence demand over the coming months.
