Challenges Faced by the Home Improvement Industry

The home improvement market was no exception to the transformation brought forward by the pandemic. Many consumers shared that they discovered new hobbies and DIY projects during the lockdowns, usually involving home improvement.

While the home improvement market has a lot of room for growth in the online space, it isn’t without its challenges.

1. Conveying Product Expertise

When it comes to DIY and home improvement projects where assistance is often needed, online stores often fail to provide the same consumer experience as brick-and-mortar stores. This shows itself in knowing and recommending which products are compatible and should be bought together or which products solve that particular customer’s problem.

2. Understanding Customer Needs

The home improvement industry provides many different solutions for a wide variety of problems. Some main categories include garden power tools, garden maintenance and gardening tools, power tools and accessories, plumbing tools, painting products, etc. Therefore, understanding customer needs, recommending relevant and compatible products, and boosting cross-selling are paramount for the home improvement market.

3. Facilitating Product Discovery

Home and garden eCommerce retailers have large product catalogues, which makes product discovery a considerable challenge for customers. The fact that home improvement and decor products often form part of larger purchases further complicates product discovery, leading to decision exhaustion and lost sales.
