Furniture and Floor Covering Wholesaling in New Zealand - Market Size, Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecasts (2024-2029)

Unfurnished: Declining Commercial Building Activity Has Reduced Industry Revenue

Firms participating in the Furniture and Floor Covering Wholesaling industry have faced challenging conditions over the past five years. The COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the demand for the wholesaling of commercial furniture and floor covering products, although stimulus funding by the Central Government (Te Kawanatanga o Aotearoa) for household income and house construction has boosted sales of some domestic products. Industry operators have been challenged by the long-term trend towards wholesale bypass, which has seen furniture and floor covering manufacturers bring the wholesaling functions in-house to deal directly with retailers and the general public.

Industry operators wholesale blinds, floor coverings, furniture and mattresses. Wholesalers act as the supply link between manufacturers and retailers. Wholesaling ceramic tiles and canvas blinds is excluded from the industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
