Exports and trade dynamics: Outdoor furniture exports and imports still account for a significant share of production and consumption respectively, highlighting deeply globalized supply chains. A decline in exports to the United States, especially metal products, affected a key growth driver.
Retail and contract channels: Retail is still dominant, while the contract segment, including hospitality, restaurants, offices, and nautical applications, is growing steadily in the European outdoor furniture market.
Product mix evolution: Outdoor dining sets (tables and chairs) remain the largest segment. Upholstered furniture is growing faster than other categories of European outdoor furniture, while outdoor kitchens and decorative elements are emerging, reflecting the trend toward functional, lifestyle-driven outdoor spaces.
