Plastic Furniture Market Analysis Report By Distribution channel, By Distribution Channel, By Region And Segment Forecasts From 2019 To 2025

Industry Insights

The global plastic furniture market size was accounted for USD 11.9 billion, in 2018. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period. Factors such as durability, sustainability, flexibility, excellent durability, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effectiveness are fueling the market growth of the product. The growing focus by manufacturers to utilize recyclable plastics to make these products and the introduction of innovative designs are further projected to boost the market growth.

Also, the demand for versatile, multiuse, lightweight, and flexible furniture capable to offer easy transferability and application at both small and large spaces is projected to bode well for the product demand over the forecast duration. Further, the rapidly growing hospitality and real estate sector through several commercial and residential undertakings is proliferating the sales of the product.

The adoption of modular houses and increasing nuclear families are extensively preferring easy movable furniture. Manufacturers are engaged in the production of various designs, shapes, and easy molding furniture, thus, offering a wide range of products to customers to select from. Demand for sustainable furniture due to the growing trend of the go green concept is encouraging manufacturers to produce eco-friendly furniture. Growing concerns regarding deforestation have led to an increase in demand for sustainable products. This trend is expected to augment the demand for the product.

Manufacturers are using recycled plastic waste such as ocean plastics and bottles to manufacture outdoor furniture. For example, a Denmark-based furniture company namedScanCom International A/S introduced DuraLand and DuraOcean in 2019, a variety of furniture manufactured from land and ocean recycled waste.

Plastic furniture fails to provide elegant and aesthetic looks like metal and wood. Plastic furniture does not offer a wide range in designs and looks to customers resulting in less preference for these products, thereby, this furniture is not widely preferred in the premium furniture segment. Furthermore, plastic’s non-biodegradable nature makes it harmful to the environment, which is projected to lower its preference among customers. Plastic is also a weaker material compared to steel or wood, resulting in less demand for plastic furniture.

Application Insights

The residential application segment led the market in 2018 and is projected to grow significantly over the estimated period. Factors such as increasing urbanization, growing preference for outdoor furniture, increasing demand for safe furniture for children, and growing inclination for playrooms are bolstering the product demand. Other factors such as the growing construction of real-estate projects by the government in many urban and rural areas are expected to supplement the demand for such furniture in the bedroom and living room in the upcoming years.

The commercial application is anticipated to grow substantially from 2019 to 2025 due to the development of tourism, restaurants, and expanding office spaces. Demand for plastic chairs and tables for large events on a contract basis is projected to proliferate the market growth. However, in the commercial segment, preference for wood and metal furniture is growing over plastic furniture as they offer an aesthetic appeal and elegant look to the infrastructure.

Distribution Channel Insights

On account of the distribution channel, the plastic furniture market is segregated online and offline. Online channel is predicted to be the fastest emerging segment in the coming years due to factors such as easy accessibility of a wide range of products to select from, lucrative offers and discounts, delivery at the doorstep, easy comparisons, convenience, and availability of all sorts of colors and sizes.

The offline channel dominated the market in 2018 and is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast years. Traditionally, customers prefer to shop from this channel to feel the convenience and check out sizes of the furniture. However, the manufacturers are focusing on changing the shopping patterns of customers.

The offline segments are witnessing evolving trends such as virtual reality and augmented reality, where customers are free to select furniture according to their needs. For example, Macy’s has introduced a VR furniture purchasing experience in almost 70 stores across the nation in 2019, to offer a unique shopping experience. In this customers can design space with the help of 3D images of furniture.

Regional Insights

In 2018, Asia Pacific held the largest market share and it is expected to grow substantially over the estimated duration. The market growth is projected to be accelerated by the growing number of households, rising office and IT segment, and increasing population of middle-class customers.

The residential segment occupied the major share in the region owing to the growing construction of residential infrastructure. India is the largest and fastest-growing regional market due to cost-effective products, growing demand from both commercial and residential segments, and the presence of key players such as Featherlite and Nilkamal.

The Middle East and Africa are predicted to foresee substantial growth over the estimated duration due to growing real estate projects in the commercial and residential segments initiated by the government to fuel the economic growth. This is anticipated to augment the demand in the residential and commercial segments.
