Furniture sales started to rally in the first quarter of 2021. According to Statista, the monthly retail sales of furniture and home furniture stores in the USA have increased by 12% from December to January 2021.
The demand for furniture and home furnishings including gardening and kitchen equipment has risen due to the pandemic as people spend more time at home. Moreover, online sales have increased as well. The survey found that online sales during the third quarter of 2020 surged to a whopping 231% over the same quarter in 2019. This is good news for you as an importer.
What furniture product to source in 2021?
Sturdier Furniture
The data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that 39.8% of people in the USA have to deal with obesity. What does this fact have to do with furniture? The health—and size—of citizens affects almost every industry, including the furniture industry. When we are thinking about furniture production, the end-user has to be kept in mind. And with consumers, on average, growing larger and larger, furniture has to keep up.
Furniture made from teak wood in Indonesia is the solution for this issue. Its durability and quality have no doubt and make teak as the best furniture material for indoor and outdoor. It is crucial that furniture manufacturers and sellers, those with both a commercial and a residential focus, are creating pieces that accommodate all of their end-consumer needs.
Flexible Workspaces
The need for flexible workspaces has increased in this situation. The work from home situation forces people to set their workspaces to be as comfortable as possible. Importers should take note that consumers will still need desks and desk chairs, for sure. However, as people are working from home and the trend of remote working rises in the last recent years, they’re also looking for accessories: lamps, side tables, even comfy chairs to make their home offices more enjoyable and warmer while still serving as a workspace conducive to productivity.
Eco-Friendly Consciousness
People care about not only the price of the furniture they purchase, but also, they are paying more and more attention to the ethics behind their home furnishing purchases. Eco-friendly furniture including the process from the very beginning when harvesting the raw materials until the finishing of the product whether it is using many chemicals or not is a necessary information for the consumers: what is the environmental impact, care of workers producing the furniture, and all of the ways that production contributes to the environment. Eco-friendly furniture is expected to become an even higher priority for consumers as we move forward.
