Summary: Highlights of this Report
The furniture industry in India is highly fragmented: the 85% of the national furniture production comes from small size firms. On the contrary, the office furniture segment displays a higher degree of industrial concentration, concerning particularly the segments of metal and plastic furniture. Wooden furniture is concentrated in States where forests are more readily attainable. But India, due to the shortage of timber resources, is often forced to import them from the neighbouring countries.
The Indian office furniture production is estimated to amount to around US$ 1.6 billion, 40% is operative desking.
The research The office furniture market in India is based on field studies involving direct interviews with roughly 100 industry firms and distributors. In addition to the data collected through direct surveys, we have also used and uniformly processed data from the balance sheets of some firms and from their annual reports or from articles in the specialist press.
