US Garage Organization Products

US Garage Organization Products

Sales of garage organization products are forecast to rise 1.9% annually to $3.8 billion in 2028. The near-term is not expected to bring sales advances for garage organization systems rivalling those of the 2018-2023 period. However, suppliers can retain customers and build on additional purchases by addressing a few key factors that are driving gains in the category:

• continued interest in organizing and de-cluttering garage spaces to make them more functional and efficient
• increasing demand for higher value products such as custom modular units and special-use products that target a particular organization or storage issue
• ongoing construction of new homes, which often have larger garages than older homes and thus more room for more intensive organization product installations

Homeowners increasingly prioritize optimizing the space within their garage. The shift from clutter and chaos to efficient organization and easy access for workable spaces is driving the market. While shelves, bins, baskets, and totes account for the largest share of home organization products utilized in garages, these are often relatively low-cost, commoditized solutions to keep items contained and off the ground.

In contrast, modular systems create value and are a chance for consumers to either express themselves for a particular look enviable in a multipurpose “man cave” type space or to address the specific needs for their favorite hobbies. Modular units accounted for the third largest share of garage-organization product demand in 2023. This product segment will continue to see the fastest sales growth of any product type, representing 31% of total garage organization product sales gains through 2028.

Key Opportunities in Regional Targeting & Specialty Product Development

Two avenues offer key growth opportunities for garage organization products: recognizing regional differences and developing special-use products. Opportunities exist for suppliers in regions where basements are less prevalent, since in many homes the garage and the basement both provide out-of-sight storage, in some cases for items that are infrequently used. Opportunities also exist for companies that innovate beyond basic storage into higher value options that fit specific uses, especially for items that are used frequently.
