Furniture lacquer plays a pivotal role in both scenarios, providing a lustrous, glossy finish to new furniture and revitalizing the sheen of older pieces. For example, in March 2022, data from the United States Census Bureau revealed that privately-owned housing starts in the United States reached 1,769,000 in February 2022, marking a 22.3% increase from the previous year. Additionally, US home remodeling revenue, as reported by RubyHome in June 2022, saw a 9% growth from $337 billion in 2020 to $369 billion in 2021, with remodeling activity surging by 55% in 2021.

The growing use of wood is expected to drive the expansion of the furniture lacquer market in the coming years. Wood, a natural material sourced from the trunks, branches, and roots of trees and woody plants, is highly versatile and can be shaped into a variety of furniture designs. Lacquer finishes provide customization options in terms of color, sheen, and style, allowing furniture manufacturers to create distinctive and tailored pieces that align with current design trends and consumer preferences. For example, in June 2024, the Wood Recyclers Association, a UK-based organization, reported that large-scale biomass was the leading consumer of waste wood in 2023, processing 2.8 million tonnes, which represents 63% of the total wood processed. This reflects a 2.6% increase from 2022, emphasizing the important role of waste wood biomass in generating secure, low-carbon, baseload power. As a result, the growing use of wood is fueling the growth of the furniture lacquer market.
