RESTON, Va. - According to a recent study from the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA) cabinetry sales for August grew 2.5 percent compared to sales in August 2016.
KCMA's monthly Trend of Business Survey reported that the gain was led by a boost in stock cabinet sales, which grew 3.8 percent in August, compared to the same period last year. Semi-custom sales increased 1.8 percent and custom sales dipped slightly by 0.2 percent, compared to August 2016.
Year-to-date total cabinetry sales continue to grow, climbing 3.5 percent through August, with stock cabinet sales up 4.1 percent, semi-custom sales up 3.6 percent, and custom sales up 0.6 percent, compared to sales through August 2016.
Survey participants include stock, semi-custom, and custom companies whose combined sales represent approximately 70 percent of the U.S. kitchen cabinet and bath vanity market.
