Was wondering if you're asking what the annual revenue of US based
wall paper companies is? Is that gross or net? Do you possibly want
the total net value of all those companies?  I'll keep an eye out for
your response and try to get your answer for you as quickly as
possible.  Thanks! :)

I am looking for the total gross size in sales dollars of the wall
covering industry in the US. This would be all the companies sales
combined. An added plus would be if I knew the sales of wall covering
from the do-it-your self centers i.e. Home Depot, Lowes.

Extremely difficult to guesstimate an answer. Industry is way too
fragmented. Look at the sellers, Home Depot, Lowes, a 1000 other
warehouse style home centers around the USA/Canada. Sherwin-Williams
sells wallpaper, Benjamin Moore Outlets sell wallpaper. Wallpaper is
sold through catalogs, and "mom and pop" hardware and paint stores
throughout USA/Canada. Also, Target, K-mart, Bed,bath and beyond
(nj/nj/ct),Walmart, too. Good luck, I searched for total dollar amount
in the USA, not there. I know that some publications have the dollar
amount, except it may cost upwards of $3000+ to get it.
