The World Furniture Outlook 2024 provides an overview of the global furniture sector through historical series of basic data (furniture production, consumption, imports, exports 2014-2023 preliminary estimates) and prospects of the furniture market for the years 2024 and 2025 for 100 countries.
This market research report includes:
- Growth of furniture imports worldwide and the role of furniture exporting countries in the marketplace
- Market shares of the major furniture exporters by geographical region
- Analysis of the openness of furniture markets that covers the past decade, with trade balance, imports/consumption and exports/production ratios
The mid-year edition of World Furniture Outlook report confirms the complexity that the global furniture industry is facing. World furniture consumption is expected to continue to suffer from weak demand also in 2024, with a possible recovery in 2025. Among prospect markets, India is by far the fastest-growing economy, with an expected increase in furniture consumption.
The main furniture importers are the US, Germany, France, the UK, and Canada. About two-thirds of US imports come from Asia. Due to trade tensions between the US and China, however, the Chinese share of US imports decreased in favour of Vietnam, in particular.
