Trends in our sector

Online sales

The hardware and DIY market is experiencing remarkable growth in the online channel. Internationalization is one of the factors that are contributing most to the boom in online sales, as manufacturers feel more comfortable with this channel in foreign markets than in the domestic market, where they already have a commercial network unwilling to share space.

Expansion of customer base

The confluence between the remodeling boom and that of DIY enthusiasts has led to an increase in non-professional customers. This trend has a direct impact on marketing strategies and the diversification of sales channels.

New materials

As a consequence of the access of non-professional customers, the sector has evolved in the design of products that are less heavy and easier to use and install, making them suitable for non-expert users.

Laser technology

Laser technology is growing in the field of measuring tools. Compared to traditional tape measures, it provides accuracy and convenience for measuring long distances or hard-to-reach spaces. Combined with other technologies, such as Bluetooth, it also allows the transfer of measurements, adding the advantage of efficiency.

Space optimization

Affordable living space is scarce in growing urban areas, which translates into smaller and smaller homes. For the industry, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity that requires adapting products to a smaller scale without sacrificing comfort.

Technology for smart homes

Advances in home automation and smart home applications are acting as drivers of innovation in the locks and hardware sub-sectors, such as smartphone-operated locks or drawer dampers that enable silent closures. Similarly, the application of IoT in the home is also beginning to influence the industry, with technologies such as voice-activated doors and drawers.
