US demand for home organization products will rise 3.6 percent annually through 2015. Gains will be supported by new decorative and specialty home organization products and by strong growth in larger, more expensive closet and garage systems. Bins, baskets and totes will remain the largest segment while modular units grow the fastest.

This study analyzes the $7.2 billion US home organization product industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2000, 2005 and 2010, and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by material (e.g., metal and wire, plastic, wood), product (e.g., bins, baskets and totes; shelving; modular units; hanging storage), room (closets and bedrooms, family rooms, garages, pantries and kitchens, bathroom and utility rooms) and market (do-it-yourself, professional installers).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 35 industry players, including Emerson Electric, Newell Rubbermaid and Sterilite.
