INDIA - According to a recently released TechSci Research report, "India Furniture Market 2012 - 2022", the furniture market in India is anticipated to cross the USD 27 billion mark by 2022, on account of expanding working population base, rising number of household units and increasing disposable income. 

Moreover, growing awareness regarding newer designs of furniture and changing consumer lifestyle are also expected to aid the country's furniture market over the next five years.
