Over the time period observed, retail sales of hardware, paints and glass in Great Britain peaked during the fourth quarter of 2020, when the value index measured at 117. This can be linked to the boost that the DIY (do-it-yourself) industry has experience amidst the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite brick-and-mortar temporary store closures, online sales of building materials, paints, and plants saw a significant increase. As of the second quarter of 2025, sales value index stood at 100.3.
