Home Improvement Market Size

The home improvement market was valued at USD 931.6 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 970.3 billion in 2026 to USD 1.4 trillion in 2035, at a CAGR of 4.1%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

Market Research Chart

The continuing rise of the home improvement is largely attributable to the various economic factors affecting the economy, the current realty market and the evolving consumer preferences towards home ownership. With consumers having more disposable income to spend on renovations and upgrades to their homes the home improvement market is growing dramatically. In 2020, as reported by the Economic Analysis Bureau, the disposable personal income for individuals increased by 3.5%, allowing homeowners to take advantage of the increased amount of disposable income by investing in home renovations and upgrades.

Realty market dynamics play a large part in the growth of this market, the National Association of Realtors reported that the Home Ownership Level as of Q2 2020 is at 65.9%, creating a large pool of potential buyers in the marketplace. The application of monthly home sales rates to this data creates an additional motivating factor for homeowners to renovate their homes before putting them on the market to maximize the resale value of the property.

Government programs and financial incentives also aid in promoting the continued growth of the home improvement industry. Through tax credits and incentives, as well as programs which help to finance the energy efficient upgrades, such as those provided through the Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program. These programs increase homeowner's motivation to complete renovation efforts by making them less costly and create a greater need for services and products associated with the renovation commerce.

further the Interest rates play an essential role in the market, Federal Reserve has documented that mortgage rates peaked at 6.5% in 2023 versus only 3% back in 2021. Lower mortgage rates typically incentivize homeowners to borrow money to renovate their homes; conversely, higher mortgage rates often dissuade homeowners from borrowing for renovations. In response, lenders like Wells Fargo have introduced customized solutions for homeowners regarding financing for home improvement projects.

Technology is another force propelling growth forward within the home improvement arena. Technology products that add new levels of convenience such as Nest Thermostats and energy efficiency are being purchased more frequently, thanks to consumers' increased level of knowledge about these products. This new trend is helping to define the home improvement industry and will continue to drive the industry's growth during the forecast period.

Home Improvement Market Trends

Changing innovation and technology transformation are important for the growth of the home improvement industry.

  • The home improvement sector is shaped by both consumer desires that change gradually with technology. These renovations have been sustainable due to the financial benefits offered through various government programs such as U.S. government's current credit for clean energy program. Energy efficient products offer homeowners a 20%-30% reduction in their electric bills as reported by the U.S. Department of Energy through products such as solar, high efficiency insulation. Tesla's Competition and Sun Power are examples of companies that offer cutting-edge solar technologies to satisfy this ongoing market demand.
  • According to the Consumer Technology Association 2025, with 75% of U.S. households owning at least one smart device. Some of these devices include things like programmable thermostats and home security systems which are interspersed throughout a renovation process for convenience, energy savings, and security. Smart home technology spending is expected to increase 12% each year until 2030 given the amount of tech savvy homeowners continuing to emerge.
  • Economic conditions will certainly have an effect on renovations. The U.S. unemployment rate is 3.6% which, due to steadily rising wages, has led many homeowners to undertake renovation projects. With that being stated, given the Federal Reserve's decisions regarding controlling inflation, many homeowners will be focusing on smaller, more budget friendly projects rather than larger more elaborate ones, due to a higher cost of borrowing.
  • The Census Bureau has shown that the home ownership rate is currently at 66.2% in 2025,demonstrated the continued demand for improvements or renovations on homes. Additionally, the NAR has provided evidence that homes that have already been renovated are going to sell quicker and at much higher prices than they would have sold in their original condition. This has encouraged many homeowners to increase their home's value prior to putting it on the market.
  • With the changing market place, many large retail stores such as Lowe’s and Home Depot have responded to these trends by offering additional products to their customers. This includes the addition of green and smart products. There are also new and innovative companies such as Ecobee and Vivint that are gaining momentum by developing unique products for homes focused on energy efficiency and connectivity.

As reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, there has been an annual increase of 12% in total spending on home improvement projects by homeowners through 2025, with a sizeable amount of this growth attributed to DIFM.

  • In order to meet the increasing demand for DIFM services, retailers such as Lowe's and Home Depot have developed their own DIFM service offerings, which include installation and consultation services for consumers interested in completing their renovation projects with the assistance of a professional. According to Lowe's, it experienced a 15% increase in revenue generated from its DIFM business in 2024, demonstrating the growing demand for DIFM services.
  • For example, under the Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program, this program promotes energy-efficient improvements to homes; because many times the do-it-yourself approach requires professional assistance, programs such as this have helped to increase demand for DIFM Services in addition to the increasing demand for these services from consumers and through companies' initiatives.

Tax credits for making energy-efficient improvements have fuelled demand for this market segment even more.

Pella Corporation has also expanded its product line of energy-efficient windows and doors to satisfy consumers’ increased focus on energy efficiency.
  • The frequency of severe weather is increasing. Therefore, the need for exterior replacements that are durable and resistant to severe weather is increasing.
