Market OpportunityMarket value of the UK DIY market is forecast to be £8.3bn in 2017. The online home furnishing market currently has revenue exceeding £1bn.

Market growth is forecast in the DIY retailing market, and all sectors will grow by at least 7.8% between 2013 and 2017 with decorative materials leading the way growing by 12.3%.

In the UK DIY market, DecoReality will uniquely position itself alongside the major competitors rather than against them by combining all products from the major retailers into one app which uses augmented reality to drive sales.

A study by Juniper research predicts enterprise applications with augmented reality elements to account for the third-largest proportion of revenues by 2015.

The adoption of AR in mobility is still restricted to marketing gimmicks and niche usage.

Mobile augmented reality to generate 1.4 billion downloads by 2015 as major brands embrace the concept.

Competitive EnvironmentThere are many home interior apps on the market that offer a single feature such as a painting a room or furniture

placement. These apps fulfil a purpose, but that purpose is limited. To design a complete room, currently consumers would need to purchase several apps to measure their room, place furniture in it and visualise it

decorated.

Floor plan apps - RoomScan● Produces a floor plan by touching phone

against each wall in the room● The app calculates approximate

measurements and they can be adjusted manually

Furniture placement apps - SnapShop● Allows users to try out furniture and reposition

it before purchasing● Users upload an image, choose furniture from

retailers websites and virtually add the furniture to their room

● Option to purchase furniture through app

Painting/decorating apps – Wall Painter● Users take a photo of their room and apply

paint/wallpaper to the walls● Completed rooms can be shared with friends● Limited use, functionality is clumsy and not intuitive

Colour palette apps – Augmented Colors● Allows users to get the hex code of any colour by

pointing their phone camera at it.● Save and share options● Users say it needs image stabilisation

PESTLE AnalysisPOLITICAL• Government ‘Help to Buy Scheme’ will help a greater number of first time home buyers onto the market.

ENVIRONMENTAL• Reducing the carbon footprint but making it easier for purchases to be made from home, rather than having to view multiple stores for products.

SOCIAL• Phenomenal rise in social sharing websites (Pinterest, Houzz) that have revolutionised the Home Decor industry.

TECHNOLOGICAL• Augmented Reality is new to mainstream portable devices with a huge ability to enrich the customer shopping experience.

LEGAL• Consumer Protection Law – Distance Selling Regulations 2000 will apply to all purchases that we act as a merchant for.

ECONOMIC• 2013 Q1 bad weather greatly affected profits for major DIY retailers. The indoor home decor market isn’t as affected by weather fluctuations, but more by the housing ‘bubble’.
