Kingfisher is a home improvement company with over 1,700 stores in seven countries across Europe under retail banners including B&Q, Castorama, Brico Dépôt, Screwfix, TradePoint, and Koçtaş. It is the second-largest do-it-yourself retailer in Europe with a leading position in the UK and a number-two position in France, which together account for 81% of sales.
Kingfisher has a long runway for online penetration (18% of sales in fiscal 2025).
Unlike in the US, Europe’s home improvement and gardening retail market is not conducive to generating economic profits.
