Digital transformation in Italy's DIY and garden sectors

Overview

The Italian garden, home improvement, and DIY sectors are undergoing a digital and technological transformation. Industry leaders are integrating physical retail with digital platforms to compete with e-commerce growth.

Technological drivers include robotics, battery-powered products, and artificial intelligence. At the Bricoday Digital event, it was noted that 48% of European consumers are inclined to undertake DIY projects if assisted by AI-based tools. Industry gatherings, such as the Unagreen meeting in Milan, have highlighted the necessity for specialized technical training and improved after-sales service to manage these shifts. Dealers are currently facing pressure on margins and must adapt to new sales channels and the demand for smart retail solutions to maintain a local presence.
