Furniture Market Summary

Moreover, the increasing capital investments in office infrastructure, primarily driven by the development of regional hubs in various countries, are expected to generate the need for office furniture during the forecast period. In 2020, according to the Economic Impact Study commissioned by the Building Owners and Managers Association of the U.S. (BOMA), the establishment of business offices in the U.S. is increasing.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on consumer behavior as well as manufacturing trends in the furniture market. Owing to financial constraints that arose, consumers were reluctant to spend on non-essential items, including home interiors, and hence, the residential demand for furniture slumped. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a slow but sure resurgence of housing projects and consumers are open to spending on household items once again, which is boosting the demand for furniture over the forecast period.

Moreover, various governments in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia’s government focus on the development of the real estate industry through various residential and commercial projects that will ultimately help to boost their economy.

Furniture not only supports and enables basic everyday functions such as sleeping and eating but has also been considered an essential element for home décor. Furthermore, purchasing furniture has become easier due to the availability of online platforms. FabFurnish, Pepperfry, and Urban Ladder are some of the popular e-commerce platforms for buying furniture in India. The rising demand for multi-functional and versatile products that provide portability and can easily be accommodated in small spaces is also accelerating industry growth. The increasing number of nuclear families has resulted in demand for portable and space-saving furniture products around the globe. This factor is anticipated to drive the demand for furniture.

Residential and infrastructural development, for instance, the establishment of churches or community centers, hospitals, and government institutes also impels product demand. Furthermore, government regulations regarding furniture, especially the products used in hospitals, require manufacturers to specially design and manufacture furniture that complies with government regulations. For instance, the British Contract Furnishing Association specifies that the wooden furniture in hospitals should be sealed with high-quality clear lacquer. The application of clear lacquer not only ensures durability but also includes antimicrobial agents that prevent the growth of micro-organisms.

Moreover, the positive outlook of consumers toward environmental protection is enabling various companies to introduce environment-friendly furniture. Cisco Home, Eco Balanza, Anton Doll Holzmanufactur, and Vermont Wood Studios are some companies engaged in offering high-end and eco-friendly furniture that is manufactured without any toxic carcinogens and chemicals. For instance, Cisco Home offers eco-friendly furniture through categories such as seating, bedroom, lighting, and other essentials. All the furniture offered by this company is made with non-toxic components and uses FSC-certified wood, which has led to its increased popularity in the residential segment.
