Description

This report is the result of a census recently carried out by CSIL of the leading kitchen furniture producers worldwide, which has enabled it to outline the weight of the first 500 kitchen furniture manufacturers in the world.

The kitchen furniture turnover of 500 selected companies accounts for about 56% of the world kitchen furniture production.

The selection of 500 players is based partly on the overall size of the company (turnover, employees, etc.) and partly on the need of international representativeness (for example, the 51st North American firm is probably larger than the largest firm in India, but the latter was chosen in order to represent the Pacific area too).

Company information is based on previous CSIL market reports and on desk research or estimates concerning the countries not covered.

The kitchen turnover is updated with data of the last three years and it is estimated for some companies.
