USA: The article highlights expectations for the residential remodelling and construction sector in 2026, noting that economic uncertainty and declining consumer financial confidence are influencing homeowner decisions.

As a result, large renovation projects may slow slightly, while overall home-improvement activity is still expected to expand moderately.

Generational trends also shape the market, with Baby Boomers and Generation X driving much of the remodelling activity, while Millennials increasingly enter the housing market and invest in renovations
