Furniture is an object that supports various human activities, including seating, sleeping, working, storing, etc. The main function of furniture is to make buildings and houses suitable for work or living. It is movable and durable, and is right in front of us in various forms like coffee tables, cupboards, cabinets, etc. Metal, plastic, glass, steel, and wood are widely used to make furniture. It is further decorated at length with the use of decorative elements (matte finish, marble insets, acrylic accents) and complex carving techniques. You will be shocked to know that on average, you can find almost 30 pieces of furniture in an American household.
The true essence of furniture can be captured from the word it is derived from, which is "mobilia" or "mobile". This simply means "something that can be moved" - exactly what furniture does. The origin of furniture can be traced back to the pre-historic or Neolithic era. It has come from being in the form of stone benches to becoming a key item for home decor, as modern furniture like side tables, floating nightstands, living room furniture, center tables, etc.
Furniture was seen in the form of paintings, wall murals, and sculptures in the Neolithic period and as pyramids in Egypt in approximately the 3rd millennium BC. Thanks to the dry climate of Egypt (which made preserving organic material possible) that baskets, chairs, and beds came into being. Some furniture forms that were seen earliest are tombs in Ghiordes - now called Turkey. All this furniture of different periods and places carries the essence and features of each period, which is why it is strongly believed that furniture carries culture, history, and design. What we now use as a dining table and folding table, made from high-quality woods, were once made from just stones. These ancient forms of furniture were only for the purpose of seating or sleeping, but nowadays, a lot of it is kept in homes for the aesthetic appeal. People hire interior designers to choose the color, size, and type of furniture for their homes or workstations. A long discussion goes around to decide whether a 3 seater sofa would be better or whether multiple accent chairs provide more character to a living room.
The global trade of furniture has now taken a modern shift because of the shifting consumer demands. Multi-purpose furniture is now becoming more attractive to consumers. Furniture that takes less space and does the job of 2-3 furniture in one (like sofa-cum-bed) is thriving in this Generation Z. Another reason for this shift is the US-China trade war. Before this war, China was responsible for half of the US furniture imports. At the time when China's furniture exports to the US fell from 50% in 2017 to 29% by 2023, they rose for Vietnam. Its share rose from 20% to 26% in the same period, briefly taking over China as the top exporter. Around 40% of the global production of furniture was exported last year, highlighting the consumer's need for sustainable and innovative furniture. Increased urbanization and disposable income are the two factors powering the increased exports of furniture worldwide.
Some of the major reasons driving the global furniture trade market are as follows:
