Info

The survey was conducted online among a representative sample of the Belgian adult population. Respondents were asked which and how many products they repaired or had repaired in the last 12 months. An average mass was assigned to each product type to estimate the total size. These types included all products in and around the house, such as (electric) bicycles, EEE, furniture, textiles, etc. Repair and maintenance of buildings or built-in products (e.g. doors, boilers, radiators) and motorised vehicles were not included.

The household budget survey calculation is based on Belgian households’ expenditure on repairs on a biennial basis, converted to Flanders on a population basis. The number of repairs was derived via an estimate of the price of a repair. Repairs that do not involve a monetary transaction (neither a labour cost nor the purchase of a spare part) are not included in this measurement. The figures include repair of large and small EEE, telecommunications equipment, bicycles, textiles and clothing, shoes and leather, furniture and floor coverings. Repair of motorised vehicles, home repairs and repair of other (personal) items such as jewellery, glasses or watches are excluded.
