Germany Will Continue to Dominate the European Home Furniture Market
Germany's furniture industry is one of the EU's biggest exporters, making it an attractive market for manufacturers. A popular trend in the German furniture market is furniture made from natural materials and innovative designs. In terms of sales, technology, and innovation in product design, the German kitchen furniture sector continues to grow.
The demand for furniture in Germany is being driven by the ongoing construction and renovation activities, which are based on urbanization, population growth, and infrastructure development. The furniture market is experiencing growth in both the housing and business sectors as new buildings are being built and old structures are undergoing renovation. The construction activity is not confined to building new buildings but also covers renovation and redecoration projects.
Sustainability has also become a priority within the industry. Many manufacturers are committed to eco-friendly practices and use sustainable materials to meet global environmental requirements. When cities become more urban, compact, and multifunctional furniture solutions are becoming increasingly popular, people's lifestyles and preferences change. Space problems are solved by these solutions while maintaining the integrity of the design. More and more people are also going for custom or customized furniture.
