Canadian hardware stores retail a variety of building and home renovation supplies to professional contractors and consumers, characterized by their homogeneous products, leading to a high level of price-based competition among the many small hardware stores. The industry has floundered over much of the five years to 2023 because of a mediocre housing market and boosting interest rates, a trend that was exacerbated by the closure of many retail outlets for several months in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the housing market exploded in 2020 and 2021, a trend from which hardware stores in Canada benefited, resulting in industry revenue growing 17.2% in 2021 alone. Overall, revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.5% over the past five years, and is expected to reach $3.9 billion in 2023, despite a 4.2% dip in revenue over the year.Hammer home: As residential renovation expenditure expands, it will likely drive industry expansion moving forward
