'World Furniture Outlook' is the the analyst flagship publication, issued twice a year, providing status and prospects of the world furniture sector and covering 100 countries selected by the analyst according to their contribution to the production and international trade of furniture.

This research aims to answer the following questions:

• How big is the global furniture market? What are its prospects?
• What are the furniture market forecasts?
• What are the world's largest furniture markets?
• What are the largest furniture-producing countries worldwide?
• What are the dynamics of the world furniture trade?
• What are the main exporters and importers of furniture on a global level?

International trade of furniture is in a state of unprecedented uncertainty. Trade policy and tariff unpredictability may continue. Consequently, forecasts on consumption and international trade of furniture should be used with great caution, particularly for countries where the furniture sector is more open to international trade. Continuing uncertainty adversely affects the business climate for the furniture sector, particularly regarding investment decisions and household consumption behaviour.

Highlights:

International trade of furniture is experiencing unprecedented uncertainty, driven by unstable trade policies. The analyst preliminary estimates for 2025 indicate a very slight increase in global furniture trade compared to the previous year. Still, the effects of tariffs, introduced in mid-October, is expected to become evident in 2026.

Looking at the main furniture-importing countries, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France lead. US furniture imports exceeded USD 41 billion in 2024, but the new tariffs and a broader climate of uncertainty have led to a reduction in imports in 2025. Prospects continue to be affected by ongoing trade policy uncertainty, which remains high in the absence of stable, long-term agreements among trading partners.
