Net sales revenue of DIY chain Praktiker rose 12% to HUF 98.5 billion in 2025, the Hungarian-owned business said on Monday.
The new stores accounted for nearly half of the total revenue growth, while the remainder was driven by organic growth. The number of the DIY chain’s stores grew to 23, with a total floor space of nearly 150,000 square meters. The network expansion also created new jobs, while Praktiker continues to prioritize supporting the domestic economy: 80% of its suppliers were Hungarian companies in 2025 as well, the company reported.
Online sales also continued to strengthen, growing at a rate nearly identical to that of in-store revenue, supported by numerous digital developments: the mobile app was updated, and in addition to the online store, the qvik payment method became available in all stores and at all checkout counters, while digital navigation inventory-checking solutions — usable in both the online store and the app — help shoppers find their way around.
Sanitary ware was the top seller in 2025. Garden products were the runner-up, followed by general building materials, tiles and lighting products.
Praktiker's share of the local DIY market rose to 33.7% from 31.8%. EBITDA climbed 34% to HUF 3.7 billion. Praktiker's CAPEX was close to HUF 3.7 billion.
Praktiker is owned by Hungary's Wallis Group.
