ABSTRACT FOR THE CATALINA REPORT ON CABINETS AND COUNTERTOPS

SUMMARY OF MAJOR FINDINGS
U.S. cabinet and countertop manufacturer sales could decline by 2.0% during 2024 after a 10.4% drop in 2023. Semi-custom and custom cabinet sales began to strengthen in the second half of 2024 as the value of new and existing home prices per square foot continue to rise. Stock cabinet sales flattened out in the second half. However, U.S. made cabinet sales weakened while imports were on track to increase at double-digit rates. Cabinets sourced from Vietnam led the way. The weakness in the countertop market is centered in the natural stone and plastic laminate segments, while quartz countertops remain on an upward trend. Cabinet and countertop demand could begin to turn up in 2025 if mortgage rates drop below 6.0%. This level would stimulate sales of new and existing homes due to significant pent up demand. The turnaround, however, will primarily be in the second half since it takes six to 12 months for a new start or a turnover of an existing home to result in a cabinet and countertop sale.

CABINET AND COUNTERTOP SALES TRENDS
Catalina Research has uncovered these trends in our in-depth report on the U.S. cabinet and countertop industry. Report sections cover the U.S. market for kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, and countertop materials. Cabinet shipments are further segmented by stock line, semi-custom, and custom types. Countertop materials shipments are provided for natural and engineered stone; and plastic laminated, solid surface, and other countertop materials. Price trends are provided for all types of cabinet.

SOURCE OF SUPPLY
Catalina analyzed U.S shipments and imports for cabinets and quartz countertops. Catalina calculated share of the leading countries of origin. For quartz countertops, Catalina also provides competitive pricing by country. U.S. cabinet shipments are segmented by stock line, semi-custom, and custom types, as well as shipments by wholesale and retail manufacturers.

END-USE MARKETS AND DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
Cabinetwork purchases are provided for new residential construction, residential remodeling, manufactured housing, and non-residential construction markets. The analysis includes data on purchases per new home constructed and manufactured housing unit shipped. Home center and other retail channels are analyzed as well. Home Depot and Lowe’s kitchen and bath revenues are tracked as well. In addition, U.S export shipments are analyzed.

FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND
Catalina analyzes the role of new and remodeled residential kitchens and bathrooms as a determinant of demand. The number of new kitchens and bathrooms installed per new housing and remodeling projects are tracked. Homeowner kitchen and bathroom remodeling spending is investigated for professional and do-it-yourself installations, as well as by demographic characteristic. Cabinetwork and countertop demand is correlated with U.S. housing demand, non-residential construction spending, mortgage interest rates, and other economic and demographic indicators. This provides insights into the direction of domestic demand into 2025 and beyond.

PROFIT MARGINS AND THE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT
Catalina Research examined the cost structure and profitability of U.S. cabinetwork plants. Data trends are compiled for labor, material, and capital inputs. As part of this analysis, Catalina Research uncovered the manufacturing and marketing strategies for the leading competitors. Sales data was compiled in order to calculate leading cabinet maker market shares. The countertop competitive environment is also evaluated.
