Leading DIY retailers in Belgium 2021, by number of stores
DIY retail floor space
When looking at the retail floor space, one DIY retailer outranked Brico in Belgium. In 2021, Hubo had a larger retail space, amounting to roughly 431,600 square meters. By comparison, Brico’s retail floor space in Belgium reached nearly 332,400 square meters that year.
DIY chain store density
Despite the presence of a number of large national and international DIY chains in the country, the majority of the DIY stores in Belgium did not belong to a chain. On the contrary: over three quarters of Belgian DIY retailers were independent stores. However, as the distribution of the shop floor area shows, these were often small stores.
