Room to improve: Despite positive housing trends, rising imports will constrain revenue

Household Furniture Manufacturing in the US

Shuffling around

While improvements in existing home sales and housing starts will drive up demand for household furniture, revenue will not make substantial gains over the next five years. Import penetration, which has hurt the industry since 2006, will continue to place significant pricing pressures on domestic furniture manufacturers. To maintain demand in this contracting industry, industry players have been forced to reduce their markups, consequently hurting profitability.

This industry manufactures a range of furniture for personal, household and public use. Public furniture is used for hospitals, theaters, cafeterias, schools and other facilities. Furniture may be made on a stock or custom basis and may be

sold assembled or unassembled.
