Furniture Market Thrives on Increasing Adoption of Sustainable Materials

The global furniture market size was valued at USD 745.65 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,334.08 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033. Growth is fueled by increasing demand for home furnishings, rapid expansion in the real estate sector, and shifting consumer preferences toward modular, sustainable, and technology-integrated furniture solutions.

Technological innovation is reshaping the industry, with smart furniture equipped with IoT (Internet of Things) features gaining momentum. Products such as desks with wireless charging capabilities and beds that track sleep patterns are increasingly popular among consumers seeking convenience and modern living. For example, Sleep Number’s 360 Smart Bed uses built-in sensors to monitor sleep, adjust firmness automatically, and provide health insights through a connected app, highlighting the growing adoption of tech-enabled furniture.

Residential and infrastructure development—including the construction of hospitals, community centers, religious institutions, and government facilities—continues to fuel market demand. Furthermore, regulatory standards, especially in healthcare furniture, require manufacturers to prioritize durability and hygiene. For instance, the British Contract Furnishing Association mandates hospital wooden furniture to be finished with premium clear lacquer, which not only enhances durability but also incorporates antimicrobial properties to inhibit harmful microorganisms, ensuring a safe environment.
