On this week’s podcast episode, Amar Singh and David Marcotte discuss the current status of the industry and unveil their forecast for the future of home improvement.

North American home improvement was one of the strongest performing channels in 2019, evident from both The Home Depot and Lowe’s strong financial results. The outbreak of COVID-19 has somewhat impacted growth but with most stores still open, supported by a well-designed and functional ecommerce platform, home improvement retailers appear to be weathering the storm better than most. Join Amar Singh and David Marcotte as they discuss where the retail industry and home improvement are today and how will they change amid major changes expected of home sales, remodels, and shopper employment.
