The growing do-it-yourself (DIY) trend is expected to drive the expansion of the ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture market in the future. DIY culture encourages individuals to independently create, modify, or repair things, such as remodeling, renovations, or room additions, while fostering creativity, self-sufficiency, and cost savings. More people are embracing this culture as it allows them to develop personalized solutions, provides a sense of accomplishment, and offers a hands-on approach to learning new skills. Often, DIY projects are also more budget-friendly than pre-assembled alternatives. RTA furniture aligns with the DIY movement by giving consumers the opportunity to assemble their own furniture, enhancing the sense of personalization and satisfaction. For instance, a March 2024 Houzz and Home study revealed that renovation spending has increased, with the median spend rising by 60%, from $15,000 in 2020 to $24,000 in 2023. As a result, the growing DIY culture is contributing to the growth of the RTA furniture market.
