The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a massive restraint on the luxury furniture manufacturing market in the GCC region, in 2020. It has disrupted supply chains, caused a shortage of materials, and terminated contracts to control expenses. The lack of labor is also hampering the overall luxury furniture market growth in the GCC region.

This may slow down the industry growth during the forecast timeframe. Sales dropped by almost 60-70% due to consumers having little opportunity to explore luxury furniture products. Almost 40% of luxury furniture production happens in Italy, and all the Italian factories, including small, family-based façonniers, have temporarily shut down, which resulted in a decline in sales in the GCC market.
