“ As we enter 2025 , there is much uncertainty with interest rates , potential tariffs , and labor supply that could affect our markets . We expect commodity price deflation to continue moderating in 2025 with declines in products like PVC pipe mitigated by increases across our other products . Overall , we expect pricing to be flat to slightly down for the full year 2025 ,” said Doug Black , SiteOne chairman and CEO . “ In terms of end markets , we expect overall demand to be flat to slightly up with modest growth in maintenance and resilient demand in repair and upgrade , new residential , and new commercial construction . With the benefit of our commercial initiatives , we expect sales volume to more than offset price deflation , yielding low single-digit organic daily sales growth for the full year .”
