CSIL Market Report The kitchen furniture market in Germany is part of a wider study analysing the main kitchen furniture markets of Western European region (The European market for kitchen furniture, Part I).

The Report offers an accurate comprehensive picture of the kitchen furniture industry in Germany, and in two other German-speaking countries of Central Europe, Austria and Switzerland, providing 2009-2014 trends in kitchen furniture production and consumption, imports and exports, comparing them with selected macroeconomic data. The value and weight of built-in appliances on kitchen furniture supply are also considered.

Import and export data are analyzed by country and by geographical area of origin/destination.

The supply structure breaks down production by cabinet door material (solid wood, veneer, laminated, decorative papers, thermoplastic foils, lacquered, melamine, aluminum, glass), style (classic, modern), colour (white, bright colours, neutral colours), type (high gloss, opaque) and by worktop material (solid surface materials, stone and engineered stone, laminated, tiles, steel and aluminium, wood, glass).

The analysis of kitchen furniture distribution in Germany, Austria and Switzerland covers the following channels: kitchen specialists, furniture retailers, large furniture chains, DIY stores, contract/ building trade.

The chapter on the competitive system analyses the kitchen furniture production of the top 50 European kitchen furniture manufacturers, with a special focus on German players. Sales and market shares are broken down also by market segment (luxury, upper-end, upper-middle, middle, middle-low, low-end) and by country. Sales data and market shares of kitchen furniture in a sample of companies are also given for the Austrian and Swiss markets.

Short profiles of the main players in the kitchen furniture industry in these countries are also available.

In the end, a focus on European exports of kitchen furniture by area of destination (Central-Eastern Europe and Russia, Middle East, Asia and Pacific, North and Latin America).

Among the considered products: kitchen furniture, solid wood kitchens, veneer kitchens, laminated kitchens, thermoplastic foils, lacquered kitchens, melamine kitchens, aluminum kitchens, classic kitchens, modern kitchens, luxury kitchens, upper range kitchens, upper- middle range kitchens, middle range kitchens, middle-low range kitchens, low range kitchens, cabinet doors, worktops, kitchens with built-in appliances, kitchens without built-in appliances, built-in appliances.

Imports of kitchen furniture

The European kitchen furniture market (16 EU countries) amounts to almost 5.3 million units manufactured, for a market value (at factory prices) close to €12.8 billion (a 1.7% increase in comparison to 2013). Of these, almost 1 million kitchens (valued at €2.8 billion) were exported. Overall, consumption of kitchen furniture in EU16 (again, at factory prices), accounted for €11.7 billion, rising by 1.7% in comparison to 2013.
Germany is the main engine of the European kitchen sector: it accounts for more than a quarter of all the manufactured kitchens in EU16 countries in 2014, and even more in terms of value (34%). This productive capacity is strongly addressed to exports (50% of total European exports are of German origin), but the internal market is still very relevant, accounting on its own for one fifth of the European consumption in volume terms and one fourth in value.
Among other countries, it should be noted that Switzerland accounts for 16% of European imports, relying for more than 50% of its consumption (€500 million in 2014, +5%) on foreign producers, followed by Belgium and Austria, with €189 million and €187 million of imported kitchens each (22% of the European imports, summing the two countries).
