Kids Furniture Market (2022 - 2030) Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Beds, Cots, & Cribs, Mattresses), By Material (Wood, Polymer, Metal), By Application (Commercial, Household), By Region, And Segment Forecasts

Kids Furniture Market Summary

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to worldwide lockdowns and school closures that resulted in an increase in demand for kids furniture, including chairs, tables, cabinets, dressers, and chests. Owing to the ongoing pandemic, children are now required to attend online classes, necessitating a separate study space in order to accommodate themselves comfortably for long school hours.

Moreover, the worldwide population's per capita and disposable income is rising, particularly in developing nations, boosting the expansion of the kids furniture industry. Consumers with a high level of affordability spend wisely in order to increase their standard of living, resulting in the purchase of efficient and versatile consumer goods. This factor is expected to boost the growth of the market.

Furthermore, the demand rate is growing as the population grows, and at the same time, improving employment rates in emerging nations have enabled a large portion of the population to spend on both necessary and recreational items, which is expected to boost the growth of the market. For instance, according to the International Labour Organization, between 2017 and 2019, the number of working people in the Asia Pacific region increased to about 23 million.

With the rising home prices, consumers are increasingly investing in home improvement or home remodeling projects rather than buying new homes. The growing home values have doubled homeowner equity, indicating a trend of homeowners feeling richer and more disposed toward spending money on home improvement projects. This trend is likely to propel the demand for kids furniture in the foreseeable future.

Product Insights

The beds, cots, and cribs segment dominated the global market with a revenue share of more than 30.0% in 2021. The growth is attributed to its ease and convenient use for disinfecting and cleaning surfaces. Healthy sleep plays a quintessential role in the physical and emotional well-being of infants and young children, especially in the first two years, and assists in promoting growth, improving learning, and increasing the attention span of babies. Consequently, there is a significant rise in the demand for kids’ cribs, cots, and beds across the globe.

The mattresses product segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 20.4% from 2022 to 2030. Children tend to need more sleep than adults making mattresses a vital component of kids’ furniture. The rising concerns over timely sleep need by kids, coupled with the increasing concern regarding appropriate mattresses, are anticipated to drive the demand for kids mattresses in the foreseeable future.

Application Insights

The household application segment dominated the global market with a revenue share of more than 65.0% in 2021. With schools remaining shut due to the coronavirus pandemic and classes being conducted online, it is important to set up a comfortable classroom for the child at home to facilitate learning. This has been challenging, especially for those who live in a small home where the parents are also working from home.

The commercial application segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 21.4% from 2022 to 2030. Several parents continue to work in order to maintain their standard of living and also to provide better education for their children, which implies less quality time for their children. This has increased the number of daycare and crèche facilities in both schools as well as office compounds resulting in an increased demand for kids’ furniture in commercial spaces like crèche and daycare facilities.

Material Insights

The wood segment led the global market in 2021 with a share of over 55.0%. Among various materials, wood is highly preferred for furniture by consumers due to its various advantages. Wood is much stronger in load bearing for both chairs and tables, owing to which wood can support a heavier load without breaking down. Furthermore, wood can be repainted and re-polished after years of usage to bring the luster back.

The polymer segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 19.7% from 2022 to 2030. Compared to metal or wooden furniture, polymer furniture is more affordable. They are also stylish and comfortable to sit on, making them ideal for kids who are required to sit for hours doing homework or other in-home activities. Furthermore, they are not prone to breakage or cracks, making them safer to use for children. Plastic chairs are also lightweight, making them ideal for young kids. This is anticipated to continue over the next few years.

Regional Insights

In 2021, North America accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 30.0%. An increase in the working population in North America is a key contributing factor to the demand for kids’ furniture in day care. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the youngest millennials reached their adulthood in 2020 and accounted for 28% of the U.S. population; they also accounted for 50% of the working population.

The Middle East and Africa region is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR of 22.8% from 2022 to 2030. Rapid investments in the construction sector in line with the development of smart city projects are expected to open new opportunities for players in the market over the coming years. Moreover, the growing per capita income in developing countries across the region will augment the product demand.
