Total retail sales amounted to $1.82 trillion, marking a 0.5% rise.

The rising demand for home furnishings is also expected to propel the growth of the fabrics market. Home furnishing includes a wide range of products and accessories used to decorate and equip residential spaces. Fabrics such as cotton, polyester, nylon, wool, and silk are extensively used in home furnishing items, including curtains, upholstery, bedding, and cushions. These fabrics add texture, color, and patterns to interior spaces, enhancing overall aesthetic appeal and comfort. For instance, in November 2025, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian government agency, household spending in New South Wales increased in September 2025, largely driven by a 1.1% rise in the furnishings and household equipment category. Therefore, increasing demand for home furnishings is driving the fabrics market.
