In recent years, Vietnam has become the 6th largest furniture producer and the 2nd largest furniture exporter worldwide. Exports have been the country’s furniture industry’s major driver, increasing from USD 5 billion to nearly USD 20 billion in the last decade. 
Vietnam has emerged not only as a hub for domestic production sourcing but also as an attractive option for offshore manufacturing for overseas companies. The number of direct foreign investment companies (FDI) is growing year after year and typically with a larger average size in terms of turnover and workforce.

Europe is a large and integrated market of more than 530 million consumers and a major hub of world trade in furniture exports and imports. European furniture consumption in 2022 has followed upward, reaching nearly EUR 120 billion. The largest markets are Germany, the UK, France, and Italy, which also rank among the top ten furniture markets worldwide. 
CSIL estimates that furniture demand in Europe will weaken in 2023, mainly due to elevated inflation and soaring furniture prices. It is forecasted to resume in 2024.
 
CSIL’s Report ‘The furniture industry in Europe’ 2023 is now available. More info at https://www.worldfurnitureonline.com/report/the-furniture-industry-in-europe

---------------------------
According to CSIL, the top 200 furniture manufacturers’ total turnover increased by over 30% from 2017 to 2022. The trend indicates that the growth of these companies is higher than that of the sector.
The decrease in sales of the Top 200 furniture manufacturers in 2020 had been contained comparing the world furniture production, driven by larger financial capabilities that allowed leading companies to quickly re-align business strategies, implement new sales channels, and reposition their supply chain. Preliminary results show that, even in 2022, the Top 200 companies maintained the same level as in 2021 despite a decrease in world furniture production.

World office furniture production reached a total value of US$ 52.4 billion in 2022. After its drop in 2020 due to the consequences of the pandemic, it showed a double-digit rebound in 2021 and a following slight downgrade in 2022. The global office furniture industry is highly concentrated; China, the US, Germany, India, and Japan are the main world output countries.
The office furniture sector remains a relatively local business. The ratio of exports over production is growing but remains low compared to the furniture sector. The bulk of office furniture exports originates in China, Canada, Germany, Poland and Italy and mainly flows to the US, Germany, France, the UK the Netherlands.

----------------------------
International trade of furniture, worthing currently around USD 187 billion according to CSIL’s preliminary estimates, has grown faster than furniture production in the last ten years and has consistently amounted to about 1% of international trade of manufactures. The leading global importers of furniture are the USA, Germany, the UK, and France, accounting for about 48% of the total furniture imports.
The uncertainties caused by the war in Ukraine, the supply chain constraints, the logistics issues, and the strong inflationary pressures, together with the devaluation of major currencies in relation to the USD, are countervailing factors that drove an apparent stagnation in 2022. According to CSIL, world furniture consumption will decrease slightly in real terms in 2023, but growth should resume in 2024. 

The new edition of the CSIL Report ‘World furniture outlook’ is now available. More details at https://www.worldfurnitureonline.com/research-market/world-furniture-outlook-0058524.html

-------------------------
With a +18% yearly growth in the period 2019-2022, the e-commerce furniture market has evolved rapidly in recent years, growing faster than the whole furniture market. The United States is the largest world e-commerce marketplace, with the highest penetration rate, followed by China.
The swiftly changing worldwide scenario strongly influences the e-commerce channel evolution. Following the booming performance during the pandemic, the market has been impacted by the consequences of the war in Ukraine, energy and food shortages, and strong inflationary pressures.
Also, the e-commerce competitive arena is showing some turbulence. Online sales of furniture are downgrading giving an advantage to the omnichannel retailers (brick & click) which are showing resilience to the weak market conditions, maximising physical stores’ potential in combination with the virtual experience.

In 2022, consumers returned to in-person shopping after relying heavily on online purchasing, therefore a normalisation of e-commerce incidences at 2021 levels is expected in most countries, with different performances worldwide.

Europe plays a key role in the global furniture industry, not only in terms of production value but also in terms of market and international trade. With a value in the range of Euro 108 million, it is the second-largest furniture consuming area, accounting for one-quarter of the global furniture market. In 2021, all the European countries surpassed their 2019 market size, thus fully rebounding from the pandemic, although with different performances.

The European market is highly integrated, with major chains and manufacturers working on a European scale. However, slight but continuing market openness is registered. With over 1 million workers employed in nearly 130,000 manufacturing firms, Europe is the headquarters of some of the biggest and most important global players. According to CSIL, nearly 90 out of the top 200 world furniture manufacturers are based in Europe.

The world mattress market amounts to around USD 35 billion. It is a growing sector if looking at the last ten years, and the main growth drivers include a continuous increase in spending and evolving consumption habits of the emerging countries giving more importance to the quality of sleep, and good performance of advanced economies, which registered moderate growth.
The world trade of mattresses shows an escalating number of restrictive trade measures imposed by the USA on imports from China first, and from other export-oriented countries starting from 2021. Measures are impacting trade flows also in terms of manufacturers’ strategies for competitive advantages and production relocation.

Among the top 10 markets, the leading importers of furniture are the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France that account for around one-third of the world furniture consumption. These four countries are also large producers for internal consumption, with high per capita income, high labour costs, and a structurally negative balance of furniture trade.

The world market for high-end furniture is worth approximately USD 50 billion. North America and Asia and the Pacific, including China, are the main markets.
The world high-end furniture market saw exceptional growth in 2021, determined mainly by the rebound from the market decline observed in 2020, and the exceptional demand experienced in most countries in the wake of the lockdown periods.

The European market for office furniture amounts to around EUR 9 billion. Consumption of office furniture in Europe is sustained by booming imports values coming from the European continent for about 60%, while the remaining part mainly from Asia-Pacific, particularly China.
Profound transformations are currently taking place in the European office furniture sector. The continuous alternation of phases in travel restrictions and lockdowns have prevented the stable return to offices and the continuation of very high levels of remote working, taking to a rise of hybrid workplaces. Many of the trends already underway before the advent of the public health emergency have shown their effects in a shorter period, others will need to be monitored over the next few years to better understand their development.

The world upholstered furniture market exceeds USD 80 billion, overtaking the pre-pandemic level. The leading world-consuming countries for upholstered furniture are the US, China, Germany, the UK, and India.
Imports of upholstered furniture had substantial growth for all the leading importers (USA, Germany, France, UK, and Canada). The opening of the major upholstered furniture markets has grown over the last ten years. Exports registered a remarkable increase for Vietnam and Mexico. With the supply chain and freight issues that are interesting to the furniture industry, the leading upholstered furniture manufacturers invested in diversifying their manufacturing footprint by establishing production facilities in those countries.

----------------------------------
The outdoor furniture market in Europe is one of the best performers in the furniture sector. It represents about 3% of the total furniture consumption and, following a slight reduction in 2020, it recorded a double-digit rebound in 2021, well over the sector average. The largest outdoor furniture markets within Europe are Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, accounting for a combined market share of over 50%. According to CSIL, consumption of outdoor furniture in Europe is expected to evolve positively also in 2022 and 2023.
The outdoor furniture market is an open one with imports representing a large share of consumption. This is due to the substantial increase in imports from Asia and Eastern Europe and to significant outsourcing and dislocation policy among the European manufacturers.

Business performance is provided for 15 countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom) selected for their representativeness in the outdoor furniture sector within Europe.
-----------------------------------

With a value amounting to over EUR 15 billion, the ready-to assemble (RTA) furniture industry throughout Europe outperformed the fully assembled one, recording a growth of about 17% (2016-2021). Poland and Germany are the leading producing countries. Over the last twenty years, Eastern Europe eroded market shares to some traditional furniture manufacturing countries.
On the demand side, the consumption of RTA furniture in Europe recorded a cumulative growth of +20% in the time span 2016-2021. Germany, the UK, France, and Italy are the largest markets for RTA furniture in Europe, accounting for over one half of the total market.

Products coverage: Living/dining room furniture; bedroom furniture; children furniture; furniture for office/home office; kitchen furniture; other furniture.
-----------------------------
The European furniture market registered a decrease of 1% in 2020 over 2019, which was more than compensated in 2021 with a growth of over 10%, reaching almost EUR 140 billion. Europe still plays a key role in the global furniture market, being the second-largest market coming after the Asia Pacific and before North America. Within Europe, the largest markets are Germany, the UK, France, and Italy, absorbing altogether over 60% of the total European furniture consumption.
 
During the last decade, the furniture retailing sector has experienced structural changes. Looking at the past three years, the pandemic accelerated a massive change in consumers behaviour, with an unprecedented increase in online sales, which currently exceeds 10% of the total European furniture market. It is reasonable to assume that e-commerce will retain its relevance even after the crisis.

-------------------------
In 2021, the World office furniture market increased to a value of around USD 50 billion, despite the persisting effects of Covid-19. The European market and Asia-Pacific are showing more marked rebound, while the United States are still recovering slower than the average.
The sector is, in general, increasingly opening to the international trade. For the world as a whole, imports/consumption ratio has gradually increased reaching 24% in 2021. The largest importer of office furniture is the US followed by Germany, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
The office furniture potential demand is still constrained by the low office occupation rates and the high level of remote working activity. However, CSIL forecasts on the growth of the world office furniture demand in 2022 are positive.

-----------------------
According to CSIL, the World furniture market has resumed in 2021, with furniture consumption level well above the pre-pandemic values, and it is expected to further increase in 2022 and 2023.
Over one third of the world furniture consumption is presently imported. The leading importers on a global level are the United States, Germany, France and the United Kingdom and the preliminary data for 2021 show major increases (in current US$) in furniture imports for all these countries.
More than 75% of furniture imports to the US originated from Asia (mainly from China, Vietnam and Malaysia). Within the total US furniture imports from Asia, the share of China has decreased because of trade tensions, in favour of imports from Vietnam, in particular.

---------------------------
Production of office furniture in Asia Pacific and China amounts to around US$ 24 billion. In 2020, China, the main producing country in the area, Taiwan and Vietnam have been able to increase their production level, despite the drop in their local consumption due to lockdown measures, exporting the majority of office furniture output to neighboring and worldwide destinations.
In terms of demand of office furniture, the Asia-Pacific region is still experiencing uncertainties due to the pandemic. While original office space is reducing, however, hybrid workstyle and remote working are expanding. Thus, the CSIL outlook for the office furniture consumption in the area is positive for 2021 and 2022, with different performance among countries.

-------------------------

With a furniture consumption value in the range of EUR 90 billion, accounting for around one-quarter of the global market, Europe is the second-largest furniture market in the world, coming after the Asia Pacific and before North America. The EU furniture sector is highly integrated, both from a market perspective and from an industrial one (over 80% of furniture demand is currently satisfied by European production).
The role of Europe in the global context is also evident in the international trade of furniture: the area accounts for around 45% of world furniture imports and nearly 40% of world furniture exports.
Within Europe, the largest markets are Germany, the UK, France, and Italy, absorbing nearly 60% of the total European furniture consumption. According to CSIL, those leading markets are forecasted to increase furniture consumption in 2022 above the European average.

With an increase of 30% in 2020 over 2019, with different performances worldwide, and an expected further growth for 2021, the online channel currently represents a relevant share of the world mattress retail market, surpassing the value of US$ 10 billion. 
The United States is by far the largest market for online mattress sales. In Europe, the smallest markets as Spain registered the highest growth rates in online mattress sales for 2020. However, traditional markets as Germany and the UK have continued to grow at extraordinary rates (double-digit growth). The Asia Pacific area is among the fast-growing and promising areas for online mattress sales. China leads the e-commerce mattress market of the region.
The online mattress market is fragmented and highly competitive. Given the increasing interest in the online mattress business by different industry operators, it is reasonable to predict a greater competition is expected in the coming years.

The world mattress market amounts to around USD 30 billion, registering an overall good performance mainly due to sustained demand for mattresses in major markets and an increase of online sales, which have also continued during the lockdown periods. CSIL forecasts for world mattress consumption are positive both in 2021 and 2022, even if with different performances in different areas and countries.
 
Trade tensions between the US and China and other important mattresses exporters to the US have persisted during 2020. However, international trade of mattresses has continued to increase, mainly driven by a large increase in US imports (a double digit growth over 2019). In this regard, remarkable are the increases in mattress exports from Vietnam and Indonesia, which become the third and fourth mattress exporters, respectively.

----------------------
The world upholstered furniture industry showed positive responses to the crisis in 2020.
 
World consumption of upholstered furniture is worth nearly US$ 70 billion. The world upholstery industry has been remarkably successful in recovering from the crisis in 2020. Return of consumption to the pre-pandemic level is likely to happen already in 2021 for the world as a whole, with the speed of recovery different in different countries. The highest growth will be in North America, Asia, and Europe, the lowest in South America.
 
International trade of upholstered furniture increased by 4% in 2020 over 2019, notwithstanding the pandemic. Growth rates are expected to remain positive in 2021 and 2022 but will be constrained by continuing trade restrictions.
 
The 2021 edition of the CSIL Report ‘The world upholstered furniture industry' is now available. More details and free sample of the research at https://www.worldfurnitureonline.com/research-market/world-upholstered-furniture-industry-0058488.html

--------------------------
The Covid-19 epidemic had a great impact on the way people work and affected the office furniture sector. Consumption of office furniture in Europe dropped to around EUR 7.7 billion in 2020. Germany, Poland, and Switzerland are among the largest markets in the area that showed a less marked decrease. The CSIL outlook, however, shows a recovery in Europe’s office furniture consumption for the next two years.
 
The pandemic is expected to produce a reassessment of distribution policies and a partial rethinking of office furniture manufacturers’ portfolio. With the increasing number of people working from home, office seating held up better than other products. Also the use of height-adjustable desks increased. To be also pointed out, the rapid expansion of desk screens/free-standing partitions and acoustic booth collections.

--------------------------
The restrictions of epidemic and the developing of working from home has conducted e-commerce in the office furniture sector to develop very fast in recent months. The 2020 trend has been the opposite of the one registered by the office furniture sector. While the global office furniture consumption dropped in 2020, e-commerce consumption increased at a double digit rate in the same year.
Office furniture manufacturers are strongly investing in e-commerce and the majority of them already used this channel during 2020, despite it represented on average less than 5% of revenues. As it emerged from the CSIL survey, over 80% of companies currently not using e-commerce declared their intention to enter this channel within 2022.

According to CSIL, world furniture production in 2020 was worth about USD 420 billion, down nearly -10% from 2019. The world Top 200 furniture manufacturers registered a contained sales decrease comparing the world furniture production, driven by significant financial capabilities that allowed leading companies to quickly re-align business strategies, implementing new sales channels (e.g. online) or partially repositioning their supply chain.

-------------------
The world furniture industry has been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. According to CSIL estimates, the global furniture consumption registered an unprecedent  decrease in 2020.
Within this framework is worth noticing, however, that social distacing policies and lockdowns provided people with the opportunity to focus on home and comfort and to adapt their spaces to the need of working from home. 
The online channel is partially compensating the sharp decrease of brick and mortar stores' sales and the global value of furniture sold online registered a double digit encrease in this diffucult year.

-------------------------
Europe still plays an important role in the global furniture industry. With a market value of nearly EUR 100 billion, it is the second-largest furniture market in the world and the most integrated one (over 80% of the demand is satisfied by EU production).
The COVID-19 pandemic is hitting almost the entire Europe for the second time. Nevertheless, the intensity of the contraction and the subsequent growths are largely interdependent across countries, some are projected to experience a deeper contraction, than others do. Among the five largest markets, in Italy, in France, in the UK and in Spain, the estimated contraction of the furniture market will be deeper. In contrast, Germany was less affected by the crisis than the other European countries. 
According to CSIL, the World and the European furniture consumption for 2021 should turn to positive. Growth forecasts depend on the severity of the slump in 2020 and on the expected rebound.

------------------------
The COVID-19 outbreak is affecting the global business, with no exception both for furniture and mattress markets. There are, however, some aspects to take into consideration when considering the mattress sector.
The online channel, which was already eroding offline shares among the global mattress retail markets in recent years, is increasing and partially compensating the sharp decrease of brick-and-mortar stores’ sales. According to CSIL, the online mattress market was already following a growth trajectory, registering a +30% in 2019, with different performances across the world. The United States is by far the largest market; in Europe, the increase in the online mattress market in Germany is remarkable; in Asia Pacific, the booming Chinese market drives the growth.

The home office furniture market in Europe evolved positively in the last decade. The growth is the result of the increasing demand from people working at home, regularly or sometimes, a potential number of over 80 million individuals. Germany is by far the largest market, followed by the UK and France.
With the Covid-19 outbreak, the proportion of teleworkers is forecasted to grow, leading to a general improvement in furniture and tools used for working from home. This market, historically composed to a large extent of RTA furniture and relatively low budget items, will undergo a significant transformation, evolving also in terms of features and quality.
Expansion of working from home and change in workers’ habits will lead the competition to become tougher. As customers will tend to invest more in their home office furniture, the number of actors participating in the home office supply business will multiply in different categories.

According to CSIL, the European market for office furniture exceeds EUR 9 billion. Among the largest markets, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands. The performance improved for the fourth consecutive year in 2019, sustained by a strong growth of imports, representing about 42% of total European consumption of the sector.
The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on the office furniture consumption vary from country to country, depending on length of the lockdowns, status of the economy in early 2020, ability to mobilize resources to assist in the recovery, and, for office furniture exporting countries, opportunities to stimulate local consumption to absorb office furniture made available. At the time being, forecasts for office furniture consumption in the whole European area are for a huge drop in 2020, impacting on all the top markets. A rebound of the office furniture market in Europe, though feeble, is expected in 2021.
The unexpected shift caused by the coronavirus in workplace operations may also have a lasting impact on workspace design thinking and use. The situation is expected to change in times, with the adoption of urgent solutions in the emergency, medium term solutions and long-term changes in office and public spaces. With the Covid-19 outbreak, also working from home has definitely increased over the world, and, in some countries, it suddenly kicked off after years of trial.
