Street furniture includes various objects and structures placed in public spaces, such as benches, trash bins, and lighting, designed to enhance the urban environment. It serves the purpose of providing functionality, comfort, and aesthetic value, ultimately improving the quality of public spaces for residents and visitors.
The primary types of street furniture include plastic, metal, and other materials. Plastic furniture refers to outdoor furniture made mainly from synthetic plastic materials, offering durability, low maintenance, and resistance to weather conditions. Street furniture is used in applications such as benches and seats, street lighting and traffic signals, barriers and bollards, among others, and serves end users in both commercial and residential sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the street furniture market by increasing costs of imported steel, aluminum, plastics, electronic components, and prefabricated modules used in benches, lighting, bollards, and smart furniture. Municipal projects in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported materials, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented production. These tariffs are increasing project costs and extending procurement cycles. However, they are also promoting local manufacturing, use of regionally sourced materials, and innovation in sustainable and modular street furniture solutions.
