Who's Buying Home Organization Products & Why?
Thursday, July 22, 2021
CLEVELAND, July 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtually everybody uses home organization products - from the basic bins, shelves, and hanging units common throughout most US households, to more elaborate installations like custom-built modular units for closets, pantries, or garages. But who is buying these products, and why?
A Freedonia Group Survey conducted November-December 2020 found that 38% of US consumers bought home organization products in the past 12 months, with purchasing habits varying across demographic groups. For example:
-- Women were slightly more likely to have bought home organization
products.
-- People in the 25-44 age range - which includes many first-time and
trade-up homebuyers - were most likely to have purchased home
organization products and that likelihood drops off significantly among
those over 55.
-- Households with children under 18 were far more likely to have bought
home organization products than households who did not. This trend also
aligns with the middle age groups who are also more likely to be buying
their first home or a home to fit their growing family.
Setting Up Home Office/Learning Space Was Top Reason for Home Org Product Purchases in 2020
As would be expected during the COVID-19 pandemic, the top reasons for buying home organization products in the past year was to improve a home office space, or set up a new one. Similarly, setting up home study space for telecommuting schoolkids also was a primary reason for purchases.
Still, evergreen reasons unrelated to the pandemic - such as replacing or upgrading an existing piece - accounted for a large number of purchases. Additionally, a sizable share of respondents needed the item for home remodeling projects. Closet and garage organization were popular DIY projects during the pandemic, while increased grocery sales correlated with growth in pantry storage needs.
