CSIL Market Research The Furniture Industry in the Gulf Countries: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar is part of the CSIL Country Furniture Outlook Series, at present covering 100 countries.

The report contains updated furniture statistics, trends and indicators useful to analyse the furniture market in the Gulf area, together with tables, graphs, illustrated maps and information gathered through interviews with top furniture companies and sector experts.

A detailed Executive summary provides:

This study also considers the international trading activities (imports and exports) with tables and graphs illustrating:

  • Countries of destination/origin of furniture;
  • Furniture trade by segment (upholstered furniture, non-upholstered seats, bedroom furniture, kitchen furniture, office furniture, parts of furniture, parts of seats) and by country/area;
  • World comparison of the imports/consumption and exports/production ratios, placing all the statistics in a broader context.

Further analysis (market potential and business climate):

  • Prospects for the furniture industry;
  • Assessments of market potential;
  • How easy it is to do business in the country;
  • Cross-country comparisons

Who are the top players in the area? The report provides information (name, activity, product portfolio and website) for over 280 manufacturers and distributors operating in the area and a description of the competitive system. International furniture fairs and professional furniture magazines are also indicated.

Gulf Countries.

The Gulf region is an interesting market for furniture companies: the area is an expanding market, whose population is growing rapidly and comprises consumers with a high purchasing power. Furniture consumption is also sustained by a positive trend in construction activity. This generates furniture demand, both for residential and non-residential use. Local furniture production is relatively undeveloped and the market is very open to imports. The area absorbed a total of around US$ 4 billion of imported products in 2016. China and the traditional producers, such as Italy, the USA and Germany, play a key role but competition is growing due to the increasing weight of other countries such as the UK, Egypt, Turkey and Poland. Also the number of local producers is rising, attracted by the numerous market opportunities.
