In 2021, the Home Depot averaged about 604 U.S. dollars worth of sales per square foot. In contrast, Lowe's sales per selling square foot averaged 463 U.S. dollars. That represented a significant increase year-on-year for both companies.
The home improvement retail industry in the U.S.
The U.S. home improvement industry is comprised of retailers that sell appliances, kitchen fittings, lumber, building materials, plumbing, and other home improvement products. Demand for these products is associated with the demand for housing. Therefore, any changes in sales of new and existing homes significantly impacts the industry’s performance. In 2021, total sales of home improvement retailers in the United States generated nearly 538 billion U.S. dollars.
Main players in the home improvement retail industry
The Home Depot and Lowe's are the two main home improvement retailers in the United States, in terms of annual revenues generated. When it comes to customer satisfaction with home improvement store chains, however, Ace Hardware and Menards lead the ranking. Both record considerably smaller sales than the industry leaders, which does not seem to negatively affect their customers' satisfaction levels.
