ITALY – The Indian furniture market, valued at USD 20 billion according to CSIL, has maintained an average annual growth rate of 6% over the past decade.

This growth trajectory has propelled India to become the 4th largest furniture market globally, up from its 10th position a decade ago.

In the Asia-Pacific region, India stands as the second largest furniture market after China and is projected to be among the fastest-growing markets in 2024 and 2025.

This growth is attributed to factors such as increasing urbanization, expansion of the middle class, investments in residential and non-residential sectors, government support, and modernization of furniture retail.

Although imports currently satisfy less than 10% of the Indian furniture market, their rapid growth in recent years suggests significant potential, particularly for high-end/luxury furniture imports.
