In the short term, the DIY market will be negatively impacted by a depressed housing market, poor consumer spending, slow wage growth and rising unemployment. This highly discretionary sector is set to be one of the most adversely affected by the recession. The prospects for the gardening market are more promising, with an aging population and increasing household appreciation of gardens acting as a stimulus of growth.
