Folding furniture is installed in small rooms or buildings for various purposes, such as sleeping and storage. It involves movable articles, such as chairs, tables, beds, desks, cabinets, cupboards, and kitchen interiors, which are durable, ergonomic, convenient, convertible, affordable, lightweight, and user-friendly. It is manufactured using wood, steel, plastic, and aluminum and is available in a wide variety of aesthetically appealing styles and finishes that take minimal space. Nowadays, manufacturers are offering an innovative range of multi-purpose furniture with improved aesthetics, functionality, comfort, and storage capacities.
Due to the global spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and lockdown measures implemented by governing agencies of numerous countries, businesses around the world have shifted to remote working models. This represents one of the key factors augmenting the need for folding office furniture as it helps in creating a personalized working space at home. Moreover, the significant growth in the real estate sector is positively influencing the demand for folding furniture in residential and commercial establishments. Apart from this, the rising trend of compact and integrated modular homes due to the increasing number of nuclear families is contributing to the market growth. This can also be attributed to the escalating demand for minimalist furniture designs on account of changing lifestyles and rapid urbanization. Furthermore, leading players are offering customized furniture products via online retail channels. They are also launching augmented reality (AR) based apps that allow customers to test products in real-time by providing a virtual three-dimensional (3D) model of furnishing within a space.
