Introduction

Abstract

INTRODUCTION and OVERVIEW

AMA Research have published the 10^th edition of the report ‘Domestic Bedroom Furniture Market - UK 2010-2014' . The report includes up to date information on recent trends and issues that continue to impact on the market.

The market has followed an interesting path in recent years, with a relatively static performance in the middle of the decade followed by a downturn in the market in 2008 and 2009, in common with many other consumer durable markets.

However, in the case of the bedroom furniture sector, the market has not been so badly affected, perhaps because of the changing demands from youngsters or the space pressures in homes placing more demands for use of bedrooms, or perhaps because the market is driven to a greater extent by need, rather than desire, as in the case of the kitchen furniture market for example.

Nevertheless the market has been difficult and highly competitive and the report examines the various aspects underpinning growth and driving change in the industry and assesses the likely future prospects for the sector through to 2014.
