Furniture purchase trend in the United Kingdom (UK) 2005-2022
According to results of the Statista Global Consumer survey, 19 percent of UK consumers have bought furniture and household goods online in the last 12 months, while 25 percent claim to mostly look online for information about these products.
Over the past five years there has been a revival in the number of furniture manufacturing enterprises in the United Kingdom, after a long period of annual decreases. It seems now that the United Kingdom is importing its furniture from outside of the European Union instead of manufacturing it dometically, with imports reaching 3.8 billion British pounds in 2020. This number has significantly increased since 2003, where only 1.79 billion British pounds worth of furniture goods were imported from non-European countries.
