Gains will come from greater product availability and consumer interest in using products to organize the home.

According to the Home Organization Products study from The Freedonia Group, bins, baskets and totes will continue to account for the largest share of product demand, comprising 35% of the total sales and reaching $3.7 billion by 2019. Modular units, which benefit from  their coordinated design and system flexibility, will generate the fastest growth — 4.7% annually — to $2.9 billion in 2019. Shelving was next at 3.6% ($2.7 billion), followed by hanging storage at 3.5% ($530 million). Accessories and other items are projected to grow 3.2% and reach $1.0 billion by 2019.
