The European office furniture sector is showing signs of recovery, exceeding the pre-pandemic levels. Growth is however strongly influenced by rising inflation. Production values increased by a remarkable +13% in 2022, driven by double-digit price increases. Consequently, the actual volume of production in Europe grew moderately.

Over the past years, we have witnessed the acceleration of various structural processes that have resulted in the demand for more flexible office spaces, multi-format environments, and remote working locations including private homes. These changes have had a noticeable impact, leading to significant shifts in the market share of different product segments.
