The DIY InternationalStatistics Special appears annually as a supplement to the trade magazine DIY International.

Our publication “DIY Statistics, May 2009” provides an overview of the situation in the DIY retail sector of 26 European countries. It gives an analysis of the development of the individual sales channels in the respective countries in terms of their number of outlets and combined retail area up until 31.12.2008. Included in addition to this evaluation are general economic data, an overview of the retailers’ outlets abroad, and a league table of Europe’s Top Ten channels in terms of sales.
