Furniture distribution in Italy: Main findings from the CSIL report
According to CSIL estimates, the Italian home furniture market exceeds EUR 19 billion and confirms itself as the fourth largest market in Europe, showing a more favourable trend compared to other major European countries. The sector is characterised by a highly heterogeneous distribution structure, able of responding and adapting to differentiated demand, both in terms of price positioning and retail format.

The independent retail channel still holds more than half of the market, while specialised chains account for around one third: a channel undergoing strong evolution in formats and location, increasingly closer to the end consumer, both in terms of location — with urban formats in city centres — and in the services offered, from design to order management.
The growth of specialised chains continues, with expansion plans by major operators (IKEA, Mondo Convenienza) oriented towards smaller store formats and locations closer to urban centres, while Arredissima, Dondi Salotti, Jysk and Perdormire have opened numerous new stores, strengthening territorial coverage. This momentum is expected to continue in the coming years, with additional store openings already planned.
The analysis of the top 50 operators identified by CSIL confirms this structure. The ranking provides a snapshot of a system in which different distribution models coexist: alongside large furniture chains occupying the top positions, there are two e-commerce players (Amazon and Deghi) and several relevant independent retailers, including Interni (luxury segment, Lifestyle Design group), Mohd — a special case of an independent retailer with a developed e-commerce platform — and the Maka Group (mono-brand Lube/Creo stores).
The CSIL report “La distribuzione del mobile in Italia. Analisi per provincia”, in Italian language, provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of the home furniture market and distribution in Italy over the 2020–2025 period, delivering a detailed territorial overview down to the provincial level and highlighting differences and demand dynamics.
It further examines the competitive structure of the market, with a focus on large scale specialised distribution, independent retailers and e-commerce, as well as key operators, enabling an interpretation of the evolution of the distribution system through a consistent and comparable data framework.
