The Increasing Construction of Schools is Augmenting the Market Growth

In the past decade, North America has experienced a significant increase in the construction of schools, primarily due to rapid population growth. Most government bodies across North America are emphasizing the proliferation of education rates in both rural and urban areas through compulsory basic education schemes, thus propelling the market. The education system in the region comprises a primary school, middle school, high school, and post-secondary school, with a focus on enhancing literacy rates.

In addition, outdated school facilities, changes in building safety codes, overcrowded classrooms, and advances in technology have been leading schools to upgrade their classroom infrastructure to meet present needs. Therefore, educational bodies are now seeking unique designs and buildings that complement students' overall progress, leading to the growth of the school furniture market.

The market structure is competitive with leading domestic and international manufacturers operating in the industry who are undertaking various strategic initiatives like portfolio expansion and increasing efforts toward building a robust supply chain.

  • What is School Furniture?
School furniture refers to the range of furniture items that are utilized in educational institutions to create functional and comfortable learning spaces for students and teachers. The design and layout of school furniture are crucial to ensure the well-being of students and teachers and create an environment conducive to learning. The most common types of school furniture include chairs, desks, tables, bookshelves, cabinets, and storage units. They are designed to be durable, comfortable, and safe for students to use while also being practical for teachers to organize and manage classroom activities.

Additionally, they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, ranging from traditional wooden desks and chairs to modern, ergonomic designs made from plastic or metal. The use of technology in classrooms has also influenced school furniture design, with many items incorporating features such as charging ports and device storage. Moreover, they play an essential role in creating a safe, comfortable, and functional learning environment that supports students' academic success and educators' teaching effectiveness.

COVID-19 Impact:

In comparison with Canada and Mexico, the US had the highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, which adversely affected the consumer goods industry in the region. The COVID-19 outbreak negatively impacted the supply and distribution chain, leading to restrictions imposed on almost all stages of the supply chain, ranging from the supply of raw materials to the overall delivery of products in the market.

Due to the lockdown imposed across North America and in compliance with government directives, several production units halted their services, resulting in a drop in the overall production of school furniture for a short term. The enforcement of social distancing and lockdown measures led players to downscale their capacity or temporarily pause output to review and implement new procedures to limit the risk of infection. The shortage of labor and staff was further impacted as people were reluctant to join work due to the fear of contracting the virus.

North America School Furniture Market Trends

The augmenting number of students enrolling in schools majorly drives the market in North America. This demographic trend directly impacts the demand for school furniture, as more classrooms and educational institutions are needed to accommodate the increasing number of students. This, in turn, drives demand for desks, chairs, tables, and other furniture items used in classrooms, libraries, and other educational spaces. Along with this, traditional classroom teaching is evolving, with more emphasis on collaborative learning and project-based teaching methods, which is rising demand for modular and flexible furniture that can be easily rearranged to suit different learning situations.

In addition, the growing emphasis on ergonomics is leading to the development of furniture that supports good posture, reduces strain on the back and neck, and promotes better concentration, positively influencing the market. Apart from this, multiple government bodies across the region are investing in education infrastructure, focusing on providing better learning environments for students and contributing to the market. Therefore, the growing funding for constructing new schools, renovating existing schools, and purchasing new equipment, including furniture, are driving the market. Furthermore, the introduction of furniture compatible with digital devices such as tablets, laptops, and interactive whiteboards, is creating a positive market outlook.
