2 The world furniture industry World furniture production is worth more than US$ 4 billion (data are in current US$). Around 35% of the value is exported, whereas 65% is consumed in the countries where production takes place. This estimate is based on CSIL processing of data from official sources, both national and international, that cover the 72 most important countries worldwide. Figure 1 World furniture production, Current US$ billion : preliminary estimate World production of furniture broken down by geographical regions is presented in Figure 2. Over half of world furniture production takes place in Asia and Pacific, a share increasing year after year. Europe, followed by North America are the two other main manufacturing regions on a world scale.

Some of the main producers are also important exporters, namely: China, Italy and Germany. Figure 3 Major players in the global furniture sector, 215. Current US$ billion Top 1 furniture producing countries, 215 Top 1 furniture consuming countries, 215 Among the ten major consuming countries, four are from Asia and Pacific (China, India, Japan and Australia), four from Europe (Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy) and two from North America (United States and Canada). A sizeable percentage of international furniture trade is carried out within the economic regions into which the world economy can be divided. On balance, trade within regions amounts to one half of total world furniture trade.
4 The world economy and world furniture trade in 216 and 217 The World Furniture Outlook assumes that the international scenario in 216 and 217 will be as follows: Table 1 Evolution of world GDP. Annual percentage change in real terms World 3.4% 3.6% Advanced economies 2.1% 2.1% Emerging and Developing Economies 4.3% 4.7% Source: IMF, January 216 CSIL furniture consumption growth forecast for the year 217 is about in real terms with higher increases in Asia and North America, modest growth in Europe and a decrease in furniture consumption in South America. If the world scenario shown in Table 1 materializes, world trade of furniture would be likely to grow to US$ 131 billion in 216 (in current US$), growing by 23% from the value of 21 (US$ 16 billion). Figure 4 World trade of furniture, Current US$ billion : preliminary estimate 216: forecast
5 The world upholstered furniture industry World production of upholstered furniture is worth US$ 69 billion in 215 including about one third for exports. The upholstered furniture production represents about 17% of total world furniture production. Figure 5 World production of upholstered furniture, Current US$ billion Upholstered furniture production: % share on total furniture production Upholstered furniture share 17% Other furniture 83% 215: preliminary estimate The major producing countries are: China, the US, Poland and Italy. World trade of upholstered furniture (in current dollars) is worth almost US$ 23 billion in 215. The bulk of upholstered furniture exports originates in China, Poland, Italy, Germany, the US and Romania and flows to the US, Germany, France, the UK, Canada and Japan. At world level the import penetration represents about one third of total upholstered furniture consumption. Most major markets have opened substantially to foreign imports. Germany, France, Australia, Canada, Japan, which are among major consuming countries, have an import/consumption ratio higher than 5%.
