World Furniture Outlook 2025/2026
The CSIL Report "World Furniture Outlook 2025/2026" analyses the global furniture sector providing insights into furniture market trends, historical series of basic data (furniture production, consumption, imports, exports 2015-2024), macroeconomic indicators, and prospects of the furniture market for the years 2025 and 2026, highlighting regional dynamics and providing data for 100 countries.
International trade of furniture is in a state of unprecedented uncertainty. Trade policy and tariff unpredictability may continue. As a consequence, forecasts on consumption and international trade of furniture should be used with great caution, particularly for countries where the furniture sector is more open to international trade. Continuing uncertainty adversely affects the business climate for the furniture sector, particularly regarding investment decisions and household consumption behaviour.

According to CSIL, the leading furniture importers worldwide are the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. US furniture imports represent about one quarter of global imports. Out of the 100 countries analysed by CSIL, 24 list the United States as their primary export destination. Among these, 10 export over 50% of their total furniture shipments to the US market.
Uncertainty in international trade policies could push countries to diversify their export markets, and, in particular, the disruption in US-China trade is likely to lead to substantial trade diversion, prompting concerns in third-party markets about heightened competition from Chinese exports.TABLE OF CONTENTS (ABSTRACT)
