Cleveland, OH, November 28, 2018 — US demand for office furniture is forecast to increase 1.9% annually in nominal terms through 2022, according to Office Furniture: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Continued gains in employment will drive sales as offices purchase more furniture to accommodate an expanding workforce. Suppliers will also benefit from strong advances in office and commercial building construction, as furniture will be needed to outfit these new workspaces. A forecast increase in office improvement activity will further support gains as companies remodel workspaces to include modern design features, such as collaborative work areas. However, the market for used furniture will continue to appeal to budget-conscious office purchasers, restraining further gains.
Demand for office seating is expected to expand 2.3% per annum through 2022, remaining the largest segment. Rising sales of more expensive products, such as those offering improved ergonomic features, will support demand.
