Europe. Imports of kitchen furniture by country of destination, 2010-2012-2014. % shares in value

The European kitchen furniture market (16 EU countries) amounts to almost 5.3 million units manufactured, for a market value (at factory prices) close to €12.8 billion (a 1.7% increase in comparison to 2013). Of these, almost 1 million kitchens (valued at €2.8 billion) were exported. Overall, consumption of kitchen furniture in EU16 (again, at factory prices), accounted for €11.7 billion, rising by 1.7% in comparison to 2013.
Germany is the main engine of the European kitchen sector: it accounts for more than a quarter of all the manufactured kitchens in EU16 countries in 2014, and even more in terms of value (34%). This productive capacity is strongly addressed to exports (50% of total European exports are of German origin), but the internal market is still very relevant, accounting on its own for one fifth of the European consumption in volume terms and one fourth in value.
Among other countries, it should be noted that Switzerland accounts for 16% of European imports, relying for more than 50% of its consumption (€500 million in 2014, +5%) on foreign producers, followed by Belgium and Austria, with €189 million and €187 million of imported kitchens each (22% of the European imports, summing the two countries).
