Market Size - Do-It-Your Self weatherization Products
Despite our best efforts, we were unable to find the market size for DIY weatherization products. We were able to find the revenue for at least two companies that sell DIY weatherization products and we have listed them and other useful information that was found during our research below.
METHODOLOGY
As our first strategy, we searched for any precompiled market reports. We were looking to find any reports that listed the market size of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) weatherization products. Some websites we reviewed were Future Market Insights and Grandview Research. We found some market reports that talked about the weatherization market size but were not specific to DIY. Since this strategy did not produce any usable information, we moved on.
In our second strategy, we tried to find an average market size for DIY weatherization products by searching for the market size of some individual products that would be considered DIY. We did a direct search for the market size of door sweeps, window insulation, roll on window kits, and door weather stripping. Some sites we reviewed were IBIS World and Global Newswire. We found reports for insulation, but not window insulation, and we were unable to find any market sizing reports for any of the DIY products, so we were unable to triangulate the market size for DIY weatherization. Since this strategy wasn’t fruitful, we moved on.
For our third strategy, we tried to triangulate by finding some companies that produce door sweeps, window insulation, roll on window kits, and door weather stripping so that we could calculate an estimated average revenue for the market. If we found a company to represent each category, we planned on reviewing their financial statements to see the amount of revenue made for each. We were only able to find one company that had its revenue publicly listed, which was Frost King. We still listed their revenue for reference. Some companies we reviewed were Prime-Line, Cinch, and M-D Building Products. None of these companies had their financial information public.
As a last resort, we expanded our research to include market size information that was just based on weatherization products. Some sites we reviewed were the US Energy, EIN Presswire, and the News Tech Markets websites. We found information on weatherization in general and how to weatherproof your home, but none of the data provided a market size for weatherization products or any useful data points.
