Overview of The Furniture Market 2005/2006 for 60 Countries

Posted on: Wednesday, 7 September 2005, 09:00 CDT

There is an increasing degree of openness in the furniture sector world-wide. The growth in world furniture trade has two determinants: the increasing openness of the markets and the growth in world consumption, which has also affected the developing countries since the mid-80's, with the emergence of hundreds of millions of consumers with levels of spending similar to western ones. Developing countries are therefore potential customers for middle and upper-middle range furniture produced in industrial countries.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c23762) has announced the addition of World Furniture Outlook 2005/2006 with Furniture Indicators for 60 Countries to their offering.

This report provides an overview of the world furniture industry with basic data (production, consumption, imports, exports) and scenario 2005/2006 for 60 furniture markets. The growth of furniture imports and the role of furniture exporting countries in the world marketplace are also considered. Prospects of world furniture trade in 2005/2006 and forecasts on the evolution of furniture markets in the 60 countries (selected according to their contribution to production and international trade of furniture) are based on the analysis of furniture industry dynamics and of macro-economic indicators.

Market shares of the major furniture exporters are provided by geographical region and developed countries / emerging countries. The analysis of the opening of furniture markets covers the past eight years, with data on trade balance, imports/consumption and exports/production ratio.

Statistics and outlook data are also available in a country format: origin of furniture imports, destination of furniture exports, historical series on furniture production, consumption and trade, country rankings to place all statistics in a broad worldwide context.

The report provides a picture of opportunities for furniture exporters arising from the increasing openness of markets and a rich collection of key country-data, allowing comparisons among specific interest areas.
