Accounting for nearly 15% of the world furniture market, the high-end furniture segment emerges as a strategic and dynamic driver within the global furniture industry. North America is the largest market, largely due to its concentration of affluent consumers, including over 40% of global millionaires. Asia-Pacific and Europe follow in market size, while India and the Gulf countries stand out among the fastest-growing regions, driven by wealth concentration, urban development, ambitious real estate investments and evolving lifestyles.
Despite ongoing uncertainty, rapid transformation, and geopolitical challenges, this segment has demonstrated greater stability and independence from short-term fluctuations, such as trade shocks, and has been driven by long-term structural trends: growth of high-net-worth individuals (nearly 60 million of millionaires worldwide, +30% in Asia and Pacific in the last five years), urban concentration of wealth (top 10 cities in the world are home to more than 15% of global ultra-wealthy individuals), and the evolution of consumer preferences toward design, exclusivity and custom furniture. Those have favoured a customer base expansion globally.
