According to CSIL, the European furniture retailing market is a EUR 165 billion market. The market exhibited robust growth in 2021, followed by a deceleration in 2022, and a contraction in 2023. During the last decade, the furniture retailing sector has experienced structural changes. Even though the market is dominated by large-scale furniture retailers (further bolstered by significant merger and acquisition activities in the past two years), small-scale independent stores showed resilience and adaptability facing competition from larger retailers and online platforms. Moreover, the online channel has been an undeniable game changer in the furniture market during the pandemic outbreak, and it has continued to maintain a strong position well above pre-pandemic levels.
