Italy Luxury Furniture Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Italy Luxury Furniture Market Analysis

The Italian luxury furniture industry plays an important part in the Italian economy by exhibiting moderate growth at a CAGR of more than 4.5% during the forecast period 2021-2026.

COVID-19 has shaken the Italian economy the most in the world and changed the market scenario entirely. It has severely impacted the Italian luxury furniture market. Accordingly, this segment witnessed one of the greatest hits in 2020. Nearly 40-50% of luxury furniture production happens in Italy-and all the Italian factories, including small, family-based façonniers, have temporarily shut down, which resulted in a sharp decline in sales in the market. Pandemic COVID-19 led to the postponement of Salone del Mobile, the largest furniture show to be held earlier in the month of April, but has now been postponed to a later date in 2020.

Luxury furniture is manufactured by skilled and creative craftsmen using superior quality materials such as metal, wood, glass, plastic, and leather. These luxury furnishings are designed with zero margin error, thereby prolonging their durability. They are used to enhance the ambiance of offices, hotels, homes, restaurants, kitchens, and hospitals. Recent developments in manufacturing technology and an upsurge in demand for customizable furniture are the key factors that drive the growth of the Italian luxury furniture market. Moreover, the high disposable income and the inclination of consumers toward luxury furniture fuel the market growth. The growing popularity of luxury indoor furniture such as bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and other types of furniture is likely to augment the sales of luxury furniture in the domestic segment.

The luxury furniture industry has become one of the most vibrant and fast-growing industries in Italy owing to factors such as the rising population and increased construction activity. The growing number of real estate developments and the increasing demand for residential properties, along with governmental initiatives to develop socio-economic infrastructure, are some of the major factors fueling the demand for luxury furniture products in the region. The luxury furniture market in Italy is highly competitive owing to the rising demand for furniture and furnishing products. The market is witnessing an increase in demand for luxury furniture made from premium wood such as mahogany and alder. Additionally, furniture manufacturers are focusing on innovation of luxury furniture designs with the help of other materials such as leather, glass, metal, etc., to attract consumers, which are likely to play a major role in fueling the growth of the luxury furniture market in the upcoming years.

On the contrary, the surge in e-commerce sales due to convenience in shopping and doorstep delivery of products are opportunistic for the market. Moreover, the rise in the need to manufacture eco-friendly luxury furniture is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion in the forthcoming years. However, high prices of raw materials, such as wood, unavailability of superior quality wood due to rise in deforestation in the European region, and an increase in awareness about the negative impact of deforestation on the environment are expected to hamper the growth of the Italian luxury furniture market.
