Solid Wood by Type held the highest revenue share in Belgium DIY Home Improvement Market -ÂÌñÉç

Solid Wood held the largest revenue share in Belgium’s Wood and Wood Panel Materials Market in 2024, driven by the rising need to upgrade Belgium’s 4.9 million occupied conventional dwellings. As many of these older, owner-occupied homes require ongoing maintenance and renovations, solid wood remains the preferred material for durable, high-quality upgrades, supporting sustained demand within the DIY market.

According to ÂÌñÉç, Belgium DIY Home Improvement Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% during 2025–2031. The Belgium DIY Home Improvement Market has witnessed steady momentum from 2021 to 2024, primarily driven by the rising occupancy of conventional dwellings and a shift away from new construction towards home renovation. Belgium recorded occupied dwellings, marking a net increase, signaling a stable base for home improvement activity. This trend was reinforced in 2023, where despite a  contraction in new residential construction, the home renovation sector grew, driven by government incentives, declining interest rates, and rising energy costs. Further boosting the market, Flemish renovation licenses registered—almost equalling new build and marking the lowest new build figure in six years.

Looking forward, between 2025 and 2031, the market is set to grow significantly due to rising housing needs and regulatory push. Belgium is expected to add new households by 2030 - 2060. This, coupled with stricter energy efficiency norms and reduced VAT on renovations, would accelerate DIY adoption. This growth would be amplified by energy transition policies such as the mandated renovations for poorly insulated homes, the reduction of VAT on renovation services, and government-backed modular housing solutions aimed at easing the housing crisis.

In parallel, several large-scale redevelopment and housing projects are set to reshape the residential landscape. Projects such as the Hybrid Residential Tower) and the Neo Project (590 housing units in Brussels) are expected to stimulate demand for modular interiors, insulation, and other DIY solutions. As homeownership remains dominant, the need for affordable and personalized home improvement solutions would continue to drive market penetration, supported by private investor interest and favorable mortgage reforms.

According to Shubham Deep, Senior Research Analyst, ÂÌñÉç, DIY Home Improvement Stores commanded the largest revenue share in Belgium’s DIY Home Improvement Market in 2024. This dominance is driven by the store’s extensive product variety and accessibility, catering to the growing number of homeowners undertaking renovations and repairs, particularly amid the surge in renovation permits across regions such as Flanders.
