DIY With the Help of These Israeli Companies

For millions of people around the globe, sheltering in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic has entailed more than remote work, parenting challenges, and binge-watching Netflix. Confined to their homes, a growing number of people are finally getting around to tackling long-delayed projects around the house – or finding new ones as a way of passing time and sprucing up their all-in-one homes/offices/distance learning centres.

To save costs and adhere to social distancing, many are taking the DIY approach. In the United Kingdom alone, year-on-year growth of online DIY sales had spiked by an average of more than 35 per cent by late March. Globally, Technavio forecasts that DIY home improvement sales will soar by $143.3 billion from 2019 to 2023.
