Europe. Office Furniture. Imports by country of origin, 2016-2021. Percentage shares
The European market for office furniture amounts to around EUR 9 billion. Consumption of office furniture in Europe is sustained by booming imports values coming from the European continent for about 60%, while the remaining part mainly from Asia-Pacific, particularly China.
Profound transformations are currently taking place in the European office furniture sector. The continuous alternation of phases in travel restrictions and lockdowns have prevented the stable return to offices and the continuation of very high levels of remote working, taking to a rise of hybrid workplaces. Many of the trends already underway before the advent of the public health emergency have shown their effects in a shorter period, others will need to be monitored over the next few years to better understand their development.
