Eight indicators, with the denominator still attached.
Pergola-only public statistics are limited. These figures combine one clearly labelled commercial market estimate with official housing, garden-access, e-commerce and business-software data.

Estimated outdoor-living structures market in 2026
This is a commercial estimate for the broader outdoor-living structures category. It is not a pergola-only market total and should not be used as one.

British households with access to a private garden
ONS reported that one in eight British households had no garden. The underlying access dataset was released in 2020 and remains useful as dated context, not a 2026 estimate.

Reading the market correctly
What the numbers support—and what they do not.
The outdoor-living structures estimate establishes category context, but its product definition includes more than pergolas. The Census figure establishes that decks, porches or patios are common on new U.S. single-family homes, but it does not count shade structures or renovation projects. The ONS garden figure describes access to private outdoor space in Great Britain using a 2020 dataset.
Eurostat's consumer data shows that online buying is routine and that home and garden goods are already purchased digitally. Its enterprise data shows that e-sales and connected business software are established practices. Neither dataset proves a specific conversion uplift for a 3D configurator.
Together, the indicators describe the environment in which pergola businesses sell: a large outdoor-living category, widespread residential outdoor space and customers accustomed to researching and purchasing online. Product-level demand, price and sales performance still need first-party measurement.
Market-data glossary
Five terms that prevent misleading comparisons.
- Market revenue
- The monetary value assigned to sales inside a defined category, geography and period. It is not the same as installation count or installer revenue.
- Market share
- The percentage of a defined market attributed to a segment, region or supplier. The denominator must remain attached to the figure.
- Installed units
- A count of completed structures. Unit data cannot be inferred reliably from revenue without a validated average selling price and product mix.
- Online buyer indicator
- A measure of general digital purchasing behaviour. It provides sales-channel context but does not prove that buyers will purchase a pergola online.
- Workflow benchmark
- A first-party measure such as quote turnaround, configuration completion or revision count, calculated from defined events and a stated cohort.
The six benchmarks a pergola business can own.
Public market data cannot tell a company how well its own sales process works. These measures can—when the events, cohort and exclusions are defined before reporting.
Qualified configuration rate
Qualified saved configurations ÷ configurator starts
Shows how often a session produces a usable project with contact information and the minimum product data your sales team requires.
Configuration-to-quote rate
Quotes created ÷ qualified saved configurations
Separates visual engagement from commercial progress. Define whether automatic and salesperson-created quotes are counted together.
Median quote turnaround
Median time from qualified project to first complete quote
Use timestamps from the same system and publish the start and end events. Exclude or label projects waiting on site surveys or engineering.
Revision-loop rate
Quoted projects requiring a price-affecting revision ÷ quoted projects
Reveals how often dimensions, options or pricing must be corrected after the first proposal and where product guidance may need improvement.
Price-override rate
Quotes with manual price overrides ÷ all quotes
A high rate can identify missing formulas, regional rules, installation charges or catalogue exceptions that should be encoded.
Approved-order data completeness
Approved orders with required handoff fields ÷ approved orders
Measures whether sales records contain the dimensions, selections, files and approvals needed by survey, ordering or production teams.
Methodology
How this page is maintained.
Direct sources
Every published number links to the source page used. Official statistical agencies are preferred for housing, garden access, e-commerce and enterprise-software indicators.
Original scope retained
Geography, period, population and measure stay beside the number. A broad category is never silently relabelled as pergola-only data.
Commercial estimates labelled
The outdoor-living structures figures come from a market-research publisher, not a public statistical agency. They are shown as estimates and kept separate from official indicators.
No invented Configurix outcomes
Conversion, revenue, quote-speed and margin improvements are published only when a documented cohort, event definition, sample and comparison method are available.
Review cadence
Links and source revisions are checked at least quarterly. A newer page review does not change the reference period of an older, still-relevant dataset.
Pergola statistics FAQ
Answers that preserve the source scope.
- How big is the global pergola market in 2026?
- No official statistical agency publishes a single, globally comparable pergola-only total. Grand View Research estimates the broader outdoor-living structures market at USD 2.6 billion in 2026 and reports that pergolas and patios represented 64.0% of that category's 2025 revenue. The combined segment share should not be converted into a pergola-only total without the underlying category data.
- Are patios, decks and pergolas the same market category?
- No. They can overlap in commercial research, housing surveys and contractor reporting, but the definitions differ. Every figure on this page keeps its original category label so a broad outdoor-feature statistic is not presented as a pergola installation count.
- How common are decks, porches or patios on new U.S. homes?
- The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 921,000 of the 1,005,000 new single-family homes completed in 2025 had a deck, porch or patio—approximately 91.6%. This indicates the prevalence of an outdoor feature on new homes; it does not count pergolas.
- What do European online-shopping statistics mean for pergola sellers?
- Eurostat's data shows that online buying is mainstream and that home and garden products are already purchased digitally. It supports the relevance of strong online product information, but it does not prove that a complete pergola sale will happen without consultation, survey, engineering or installation planning.
- What should a pergola business measure inside its own sales workflow?
- Useful first-party measures include qualified configuration rate, configuration-to-quote rate, median quote turnaround, revision-loop rate, price-override rate and approved-order data completeness. Each benchmark should define its cohort, timestamps, exclusions and source system.
- Does Configurix publish a universal conversion uplift?
- No universal close-rate or revenue uplift is stated on this page. Customer outcomes depend on traffic quality, product range, pricing, implementation, sales process and measurement method. A credible result should compare documented cohorts under a defined methodology.
- How often is this statistics page reviewed?
- The page is reviewed when a cited source publishes a relevant update and at least quarterly for broken links, revised figures and scope changes. Each dated indicator retains its original reference period even when the page is updated later.
