Highlights:

World trade of kitchen furniture, 2017-2022 and preliminary 2023.
Current US$ billion and annual percentage changes

World consumption of kitchen furniture is worth about USD 60 billion, accounting for about 15% of total world furniture consumption. North America is the main consuming area, covering over one-third of the world's kitchen furniture market, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.

After the contraction of the manufacturing sector and the weakening of demand due to a higher cost of living, the unwinding of crisis policy support, the tightening of credit conditions, and the general uncertainty caused by the geopolitical crisis, which is expected to last at least until the first half of 2024, the kitchen furniture market is expected to recover in 2025 and 2026.
