This can be attributed to an evolving preference for self-sufficiency and a desire to create professional and polished finished products. Additionally, with the rising costs of hiring professional contractors, more and more consumers are turning to DIY projects as a cost-effective alternative. This trend is further reinforced by cultural values of hard work and self-sufficiency, making the Tools & Machines Market within the DIY & Hardware Store Market a key segment to watch for in the coming years.
