Industry Insights

The global outdoor furniture market size was valued at USD 16.8 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period. The growing real estate industry and the urban population are the key factors driving the market. Moreover, increasing per capita and disposable income plays an important in fueling industry growth.   

Furthermore, improved consumer spending power and a growing trend of traveling have resulted in increasing tourists across the world. The trends can be observed mainly in seaside areas, hill stations, and other monumental places. This, in turn, leads to an increasing number of hotels, resorts, public gardens, and open spaces, thereby propelling the demand for outdoor furniture.

Outdoor furniture finds its application majorly in residential, hotels, and resorts. Demand for outdoor furniture is growing in developing countries like India, China, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The selection of furniture depends on various factors such as weatherproof, insect resistance, fungus and pest repulsion, and crackproof. Manufacturers are shifting towards eco-friendly materials such as moso bamboo, which is stronger than oak wood.

The usage of outdoor furniture is increasing at a faster rate in the commercial sector. The growing trend of traveling, exploration of new places, and changing lifestyles are the key factors boosting the growth of the sector. Several manufacturers are concentrating on the commercial sector due to the aforementioned factors in order to maximize their sales.

Material Type Insights

On the basis of material type, the product is segmented into wood, plastic, and metal. Wood is the most widely used material type for making furniture. Wood dominated the market with a share of more than 60.0% in 2018. Wood finds its application in both residential and commercial end-use sectors due to its features including durability, comfort, and a rich and natural look.

Plastic accounted for more than 15.0% share of the overall revenue in 2018. It is highly preferred among the consumer groups with an economic budget, as the material requires minimal maintenance and is lightweight. The presence of substitutes like eco-friendly products is restraining the growth of the plastic segment.

End-use Insights

The residential segment dominated the market in 2018 with a 58.6% share of the overall revenue. Growing population, increasing per capita income, westernization, and changing lifestyles are the prominent factors driving the residential segment. The commercial segment is the fastest-growing segment, registering a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period. The growing trend of traveling and exploring has led to an increase in the number of hotels and resorts thus, positively impacting the overall growth of the segment.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market in 2018 with an almost 35% share of the overall revenue, registering a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period. The U.S. is the leading consumer of outdoor furniture in North America, thereby boosting regional growth. The presence of companies like Brown Jordan and Forever Patio, innovations in the market, and the willingness of the consumers to spend on the product are the key factors fueling the market growth in the region.

Asia Pacific is a prominent regional market, expanding at a CAGR of 6.3% in the forecast period. Developing countries like India and China and increasing tourism in countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand are the key factors fueling the market growth in the region.
