Home Office Furniture Global Market Report 2024

The home office furniture market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.58 billion in 2023 to $34.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the growth in emerging markets, increased e-commerce activities, expansion in the home remodeling sector, heightened demand for eco-friendly furniture, the rise in adoption of remote work or work from home practices, global population growth, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The home office furniture market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $47.57 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for office spaces, growth in the construction industry, the rise of freelancing, and ongoing urbanization trends. Key trends expected in the forecast period include a shift towards using natural materials in furniture production to reduce carbon footprints, an increase in merger and acquisition deals to broaden product and service portfolios, a focus on developing innovative products and solutions to remain relevant and foster growth, a commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly materials in furniture design, the development of smart furniture products to expand product portfolios, a focus on universal fixture systems using 3D printed parts to simplify adjustments between product changeovers, and the provision of portable home office furniture for increased mobility and convenience.

The growth of the home office furniture market is expected to be fueled by the increasing demand for office spaces. The heightened demand for products and services from expanding businesses necessitates additional office spaces to accommodate new employees. In a study conducted by Airwallex in October 2022 on 500 UK-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), it was found that 70% of businesses plan to expand into foreign markets in 2023. This expansion strategy translates to an increased need for office spaces, subsequently driving the growth of the home office furniture market.

The surge in freelancing is anticipated to drive the growth of the home office furniture market. Freelancers, seeking independence and flexibility in their work, contribute to the growing need for home offices and, consequently, the demand for home office furniture. According to Upwork's 2022 Freelance Forward survey, 39% of the US workforce, equivalent to 60 million Americans, engaged in freelance work, reflecting a rise from the previous year. This shift in work preferences has led to an increased demand for home office setups, acting as a driving force for the home office furniture market.

A key trend in the home office furniture market is the introduction of 3D modeling and technological innovations. Technologies such as 3D modeling, virtual reality, and augmented reality are being integrated into various processes in the furniture industry, from planning and prototyping to marketing and sales. For instance, Studio Oberhauser introduced Chair No. 1, a 3D-printed chair utilizing advanced concrete powder bed printing technology. This trend underscores the impact of technology on furniture aesthetics and digital inventories, catering to evolving customer needs.

Companies in the home office furniture market are focusing on the development of smart furniture products to enhance their product portfolios. Smart furniture incorporates technology to extend functionality, offering features such as USB charging, touchscreens, speakers, and motion-activated capabilities. Sevenaire launched the Saturn Bluetooth Speaker Table, a multi-functional table with built-in Bluetooth speakers, power bank, and wireless charging. This illustrates the integration of technology into furniture design to provide innovative and practical solutions, contributing to the market's growth.

In April 2021, Herman Miller, Inc., a leading US-based furniture company, announced the acquisition of Knoll Inc. for $1.8 billion.
