Freedonia Market Research Press Releases Expanding Building Construction to Spur Furniture Purchases

Expanding Building Construction to Spur Furniture Purchases

by Freedonia Focus Reports Team

November 20, 2023

Demand set to fall slightly in 2023 as home sales slow and return-to-office wraps

Cleveland OH, November 20, 2023— US demand for furniture is forecast to grow 2.2% per year in nominal terms through 2027, according to Furniture: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Expansion of residential and commercial building construction activity and continuing macroeconomic growth will drive gains across segments. In addition, new architectural trends and shifts in consumer taste will support replacement purchases. However, the COVID-19 pandemic generated large amounts of used furniture; this will impede gains as firms and consumers continue to take advantage of the cost savings associated with purchasing used items.

Institutional furniture is forecast to be the fastest growing segment, with demand expanding 5.0% annually to 2027. Suppliers will benefit from robust growth in institutional building construction, particularly in the areas of education and healthcare. However, the dominance of low-cost imports for most products in this segment will restrain price increases, constraining demand.

These and other key insights are featured in Furniture: United States. This report provides annual forecasts for 2023 through 2027 for US furniture demand and shipments in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand and shipments are segmented by product in terms of:

  • household

  • institutional

  • office

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total shipments, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2012 to 2022.
Items excluded from the scope of this report include:

  • cabinets and countertops

  • custom architecture and woodwork

  • establishments exclusively manufacturing furniture parts

  • mattresses and box springs

  • outdoor furniture articles made of ceramic, concrete, or stone

  • partitions, shelving, showcases, and stands

  • used, recycled, and refurbished furniture

Re-exports of household and office furniture are excluded from demand and trade figures.

This report includes the results of a proprietary national online consumer survey of US adults (age 18+). This Freedonia Focus Reports National Survey has a sample size of approximately 1,500, screened for response quality, and representative of the US population on the demographic measures of age, gender, geographic region, race/ethnicity, household income, and the presence/absence of children in the household.
