Highlights:

With a value of around USD 22 billion, the furniture market in India nearly doubled in the last ten years, making it the world's fourth-largest and the second-largest in the Asia-Pacific region, after China. India is also among the fastest-growing furniture markets projected for 2025 and 2026, driven by an expanding middle class, rising investments in residential and commercial infrastructure, government initiatives, and the modernisation of furniture retail.

The Indian furniture market is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a highly fragmented and unorganised structure to a more consolidated and competitive landscape. Rapid urbanisation, increasing disposable incomes, and global integration are reshaping industry, and fostering efficiency. The entry of international brands, the expansion of organised retail, and growing market consolidation are accelerating this shift.
