Europe. Top five exporters of office furniture, 2018-2023. EUR Million
The European market for office furniture exceeds a value of EUR 9 billion, re-aligning substantially to pre-pandemic levels. Recovery has been conditioned by rising prices, meaning that growth in volumes remained subdued in the last five years.
The office environment is experiencing a structural transformation process and real estate portfolios have become more fluid and multi-format. Corporate customers remain the main target for manufacturers, followed by small businesses and government offices. However, fast development has been registered by office-related destinations, especially Education and Contract. Home office, which has been declining since the peak of the pandemic, today shows a market value more than double that five years ago.
