HARDI’s monthly TRENDS report shows average sales for HARDI distributor members increased by 7% in March.
The average annualized growth for the 12 months through March 2017 was 8%. The annual rate has been at-or-above 8% since September 2016.
“The heating season ended on a good note after the warm February,” HARDI Market Research & Benchmarking Analyst Brian Loftus said. “The growth rate was helped by strong growth in the Southwest that benefitted from an unusually warm period.”
