Furniture and home furnishings stores are integrating robust data analytics strategies into their management approach. This technology is being implemented to optimize supply chain efficiency, streamline operations to engage customers, and foster loyalty. Data has become a pivotal aspect of most retail operations. As of July 2023, as reported by the World Economic Forum, 60% of corporations deem big data and analytics capabilities increasingly essential, with expectations of generating new job opportunities within the next five years. Furthermore, between 2023 and 2027, the field of data science and analytics is anticipated to create approximately 1.4 million new jobs. With the exponential growth in retail data and the availability of analytical technologies, furniture and home furnishings stores are poised to better understand and fulfill customer needs and expectations, thereby influencing the market's trajectory in the coming years.

The furniture and home furnishings stores market is anticipated to witness growth, largely propelled by increased sales in new homes. The term "new homes" pertains to dwellings recently built, substantially renovated, or constructed to replace previously demolished structures. These stores offer a wide array of decor and furnishings that elevate and rejuvenate home spaces. For instance, according to a jointly published report by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in August 2023, sales of new single-family homes in the US surged to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 675,000, marking an increase from 638,000 in August 2022. Consequently, the surge in new home sales significantly influences the furniture and home furnishings stores market.

The COVID-19 outbreak significantly hindered the furniture and home furnishings stores market in 2020. Disruptions in supply chains due to trade restrictions and reduced consumption caused by global lockdowns greatly impacted the industry. COVID-19, identified in Wuhan, China, in 2019, led to flu-such as symptoms and spread worldwide, affecting regions such as Western Europe, North America, and Asia. To contain transmission, governments imposed restrictions, leading to reduced production and trade of non-essential goods and an overall economic downturn. Despite these challenges, the market is expected to gradually recover over the forecast period. The impact of COVID-19 is considered an unforeseen event ('black swan'), not linked to inherent market weaknesses or global economic fundamentals.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies greatly enhance customer experiences by allowing interactive and personalized connections to products. AR involves integrating digital information in real-time with the user's surroundings, while VR creates a computer-generated environment for exploration and interaction. These technologies provide customers with an understanding of the product experience. In the furniture and home furnishings sector, utilizing virtual reality can significantly enrich customer interactions. For instance, IKEA, a multinational Swedish company, introduced an AR catalogue app enabling customers to visualize furniture pieces within their homes. Through this app, consumers can virtually preview how items will appear and fit in their living spaces based on product dimensions. Indian brands such as Pepper Fry have also incorporated AR technology in their mobile apps to showcase how certain products would look in a home setting.

Leading companies within the furniture and home furnishings industry are launching highly sophisticated furniture showrooms to expand their global market presence. An ultra-sophisticated furniture showroom exhibits furniture with exceptional refinement, luxury, and cutting-edge design. For example, in June 2023, Lazzoni, a Turkish contemporary design boutique renowned for functional creations, unveiled a state-of-the-art showroom in London, UK. This showroom exemplifies the brand's design principles, presenting a collection of furniture that reflects Lazzoni's commitment to superior craftsmanship and innovative design. The interior of this sophisticated showroom emanates contemporary and stylish aesthetics. The thoughtful arrangement of furniture pieces allows visitors to explore each item individually, gaining insights into Lazzoni's design philosophy.
