Housewares retailers have come up against tough trading conditions. Industry revenue has been growing at an annualised 2.5% over the past five years and is expected to total $2.5 billion in 2023-24, when revenue will climb by an estimated 2.7%. The outbreak of COVID-19 brought with it a wave of lockdowns and stoppages. Residential building construction activity plummeted in 2019-20 owing to a dip in building commencements as the economy slowed. With fewer new homes needing housewares, retailers had to rely largely on the replacement market to post a sale and lockdown periods did just that.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 2.5 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $2.5bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
