Our market research team produces manufacturer shipping data and consumer surveys to give you the insight you need.
We know you want to run a profitable business for years to come. To do that, you need clear data to make the right decisions and a complete understanding of how upcoming regulations will impact the products you build. The problem is that many manufacturers are blindsided by new regulations that force them to make critical decisions without all the data. As a result, they miss the chance to innovate—and all the market opportunity that comes with it. This results in missed opportunities and unexpected vulnerabilities, leaving those in your company feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.
Knowing what the manufacturer-to-retailer and distribution network shipments are for the hearth industry is integral for inventory management, distribution planning, and business growth of individual businesses, as well as assists in HPBA’s advocacy and communications efforts. HPBA makes only the highest-level data available annually to members. Participating manufacturers are eligible to receive the full report by contacting our team.
Being informed about current economic conditions is one of the keys to effective business management. HPBA has curated a library of documents, reports, and data sets from a variety of publicly available resources and put them in this one location. This information covers a variety of topics including general economics and industry-specific data and is only accessible by being a member.
HPBA sponsors one major consumer study every year, with odd years focused on the barbecue industry while even years focus on the hearth industry. These reports are available to HPBA members who are manufacturers, retailers, distributors, sales reps, and servicers & installers. They are not available to members outside of those classifications nor are they available for sale.
