Highlights:

India. Furniture imports, 2013-2023. US$ Million

According to CSIL, the Indian furniture market is valued at US$ 20 billion and has grown at an annual average rate of 6% during the last ten years. This growth trend makes India the 4th largest furniture market worldwide, climbing from the 10th position held ten years ago.

Within Asia and Pacific, India is the second largest furniture market after China, and one of the projected fastest growing in 2024 and 2025, driven mainly by increasing urbanization, expansion of the middle class, growing investments in the residential and non-residential sectors, government support, and modernization of furniture retail. Even though imports satisfy less than 10% of the Indian furniture market, they have grown fast in the last few years, and the potential for high-end / luxury furniture imports is particularly high.
