COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Fluctuations in furniture demand, as well as import and export restrictions and supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, have impeded the growth of the market during the pandemic period. On the other hand, the market is expected to benefit from the growing trend of smart city initiatives and the increased launch of innovative smart furniture items by industry participants. The abrupt COVID-19 pandemic, which struck the world in the initial phase of 2020, has drastically altered the furniture industry. In addition, the disruptions in the supply chain, as well as the temporary prohibition on global trade, have had a significant impact on countries that rely heavily on imports for their furniture. With the increase in time spent at home due to the pandemic, a significant portion of the world's population was compelled to move to a stay-at-home protocol for a longer period of time, motivating customers to optimize their homes and furniture.

Smart furniture makers are progressively developing innovative furniture that supports a variety of technologies, including wireless smartphone charging, mirror displays of time, date, and news, and sensors embedded in furniture that monitor the user's well-being. As a result, businesses are increasingly adopting smart office furniture to track employee behaviors such as how long they sit, stand, or walk away from their desk, as well as the number of calories they burn. In addition, many end users are increasingly gravitating toward smart furniture due to the furniture's multiple transformation capabilities, such as stools that transform into modular sofas at the touch of a button on the user's smartphone, and smart beds that monitor the user's heart rate, respiration rate, sleeping posture, and other parameters.

Marketing Restraining Factor:

The massive cost of Smart Furniture and Compatibility issues

Companies are integrating modern features in smart furniture including Wi-Fi, sensors, and others, which can make the lives of users significantly better. On the other hand, the cost of integrating these features is quite massive, discouraging many companies and homeowners to embrace smart furniture. In addition, many companies struggle to incorporate smart furniture into their premises because they face budget constraints. Moreover, numerous organizations are still using traditional furniture and are hesitant to replace them with modern furniture in the near future. This is because smart furniture has built-in technologies and if a part stop working properly, the cost of replacement is high. Many players are currently working on various systems that use a variety of technologies.

Application Outlook

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Commercial and Residential. The Residential segment held a significant revenue share of the Smart Furniture Market in 2020. This is because of the rising demand for furniture in living rooms and bedrooms, as well as an increase in government-sponsored real estate development projects, particularly in metropolitan regions. Additionally, the changing tendency of consumers toward the use of IoT-connected furniture is expected to drive the growth of this segment during the forecasting period. Household disposable income in the United States increased from 40624.23 USD/capita in 2010 to 50294.00 USD/capita in 2017, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Product Outlook

Based on Product, the market is segmented into Smart Desks, Smart Tables, Smart Chairs and Others. In 2020, the Smart Desks segment acquired the largest revenue share of the Smart Furniture Market. As corporations furnish new office spaces, a strong increase in commercial and office building construction and remodeling activities is expected to boost demand. In addition, replacement activity has previously played a modest part in supporting demand, owing to product durability and a lack of innovation, but trends toward more open, collaborative workspace design will promote a rise in replacements.

Regional Outlook

Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa. In 2020, North America emerged as the leading region in the overall Smart Furniture Market by collecting the largest revenue share. The promising revenue share of the regional market can be credited to a rise in the number of working professionals and the rapid adoption of technology. However, large improvements in other years were offset by a sharp decrease in demand coinciding with the 2007 2009 US recession, resulting in no overall change in demand for the 2006 2016 decade. Demand for office furniture is very cyclical, varying in reaction to macroeconomic factors such as new office building development, capital investment, and employment levels.
