3Q26 Kitchen & Bath Market Index: Canada (KBMI Canada)

The National Kitchen & Bath Association is proud to present the inaugural Kitchen & Bath Market Index for Canada (KBMI Canada), marking a key milestone in expanding its dedicated market research capabilities. Building on the success of NKBA’s established U.S. KBMI, this new research initiative provides valuable insights into business conditions, industry performance, and future expectations in Canada’s kitchen and bath market.

Conducted by NKBA, the KBMI Canada measures business sentiment, sales performance, and near-term expectations among professionals in Canada’s residential kitchen and bath industry. The findings provide valuable insights to help businesses evaluate challenges and guide strategic planning.

Combining findings from the initial Q2 2026 pilot survey with Q3 2026 results, this inaugural report establishes a baseline for tracking changes in Canadian kitchen and bath market conditions over time. The findings reflect input from Canadian kitchen and bath professionals across four industry segments: Design, Building & Remodeling, Retail, and Manufacturing.

The overall KBMI Canada registered 53.6 in Q3 2026, remaining above the neutral 50-point threshold despite a decline from Q2. The report also examines the business conditions, challenges, and expectations shaping the outlook for Canada’s kitchen and bath industry.
