Paint Stores in the US

Over the five years to 2018, the Paint Stores industry benefited from modest growth in its downstream industries, primarily in residential construction, which includes private spending on home improvements and new housing starts. During the period, growing disposable income, low interest rates and a declining unemployment rate drove growth in the industry's downstream markets, therefore driving demand for industry products from do-it-yourself (DIY) customers and professional painters. The industry's level of market share concentration crossed the threshold from a medium level to a high level over the period, primarily driven by the growing dominance of the Sherwin-Williams Company. Over the five years to 2023, revenue is projected to continue to grow for the industry, albeit at a slower pace than over the five years to 2018. The industry is expected to continue to benefit from low unemployment and rising disposable income which will drive growth in housing starts and home improvement spending.
