Furniture, Furnishings & Household Items

There have been several significant events in recent times which have impacted the furniture and household items industry. One such example is the shift in working patterns. Employees are increasingly making use of the opportunity to work remotely. As a result, an increased number of people have set up office space for themselves at home. One significant problem for the furniture industry has been the global supply chain issues witnessed over the past years, especially since many products sold in Europe and the Americas have to be transported long distances from countries such as China.

Industry definition

Furniture, furnishings, and household items comprise everything that is purchased to support either the functioning or aesthetics of a home or business. In essence, this includes everything from a table and chairs to batteries and paper towels. The industry includes both manufacturers that sell their goods to retailers, manufacturers which exclusively sell their own products in their own stores, and manufactures that do both.

Furniture can be further segmented into home furniture and office furniture and then further categorized according to their role. One of the most recognizable brands serving both consumers and business is ready-to-assemble furniture maker IKEA. Household items is a broad category with many segmentations ranging from cookware and flatware, appliances, decorative accessories, to consumer staples like office supplies, and household maintenance products.
