DIY
Article Abstract:
Sales of do-it-yourself (DIY) products in Europe increased during the 1990-94 period due to rising home ownership and growing acceptance of the DIY concept as a worthwhile hobby. The growth has also been attributed to the global recession which prompted consumers to do more DIY tasks and to the declining number of tradesmen and the high cost of their labor. The top growth DIY market during the period was Germany. Spain was another growth market during the same period.
