Home Centers and Hardware Stores Industry Focus - Canada Edition

About 5,000 home centers and hardware stores operate in Canada with combined annual revenue of just over $20 billion. The industry is highly concentrated at the top and extremely fragmented at the bottom: the top three companies hold over 40 percent of industry sales, while independent retailers and small chains account for the remainder. Large companies include RONA, Canadian Tire, and Home Depot Canada. Sales in home centers and hardware stores represent about 5 percent of total Canadian retail sales.
