Demand for Masco Corp.'s products and services is heavily influenced by the repair and remodel (R&R) market, which accounted for approximately 80% of its sales in 2024. The aging housing stock in North America is a significant demographic trend driving demand for renovation products. While Masco anticipates a low single-digit decrease in both U.S. and international repair and remodel markets for 2025, the company aims to outperform this trend through its strong brand portfolio and ongoing innovation. The company's revenue growth has historically been cyclical, showing sensitivity to the housing market.
