About
The Home Depot is the world's largest home improvement retailer, founded in 1978 in Atlanta by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, built on the revolutionary concept of a warehouse-format store that offered professional-grade products to DIY homeowners at contractor prices. The company's core competitive technology is its buying power and supply chain: purchasing at the scale of over 2,300 stores allows it to offer the broadest in-category selection — power tools, lumber, plumbing, electrical, flooring, appliances, garden — at prices and availability that regional hardware chains cannot match.\n\nThe Home Depot serves both DIY consumers and professional contractors (Pro customers), with the Pro segment representing a disproportionate share of revenue and growing faster than the consumer segment. The company has invested heavily in its Pro ecosystem — dedicated Pro desks, job site delivery, bulk pricing, and a Pro digital platform — as contractors increasingly use The Home Depot as a primary supply chain partner. Its major appliances business holds 36.9% dollar share as of Q2 2025, making it the dominant US appliance retailer ahead of Best Buy and Lowe's.\n\nThe Home Depot generated $159.5B in revenue in FY2025, a 4.48% increase, while holding a 51% share of the US home improvement market — a dominant position in a category large enough to make it one of the world's highest-revenue retailers. The company's 2024 acquisition of SRS Distribution for $18.3B deepened its professional roofing and exterior supply capabilities. As housing renovation spending remains elevated and the Pro contractor base grows, The Home Depot's combination of scale, supplier relationships, and Pro-focused investments continue to extend its lead over Lowe's and specialty retailers.
