The global plastic and other furniture market size was valued at USD 33.08 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% from 2021 to 2028. Globally, the demand for economical and durable furniture has augmented among different customer groups, which is the main driving factor for the market. Growing demand for lightweight, eco-friendly, flexible, and multi-functional furniture providing convenience and application in small and large spaces is further anticipated to drive the global market. Rising environmental concerns like deforestation across the globe are anticipated to surge the demand for plastic and other furniture.
Plastic and other furniture include furniture manufactured from materials such as plastic, bamboo, and rattan wicker. Growing environmental concerns such as deforestation across the world led to the increase in the demand for plastic and other furniture products. Thus, major players are shifting towards manufacturing eco-friendly furniture. Some of the advantages of plastic and other furniture include low maintenance, resistance to corrosion, lightweight, and flexibility. Thus, they are used in residential and commercial applications.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a substantial influence on businesses as well as humans. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the market for plastic and other furniture. The disruptions in the supply chain and the halt in production resulted in the reduced sale of plastic and other furniture. In addition, a temporary ban on global trade has substantially affected the countries with a large dependency on imports for their furniture requirements. However, as the services and businesses are resuming, the market is expected to recover in the future.
The offline segment held the largest revenue share of more than 70.0% in 2020. Offline channels include home centers, flagships stores, and specialty stores. The offline distribution channel is becoming popular owing to the accessibility of a diverse selection of customer products under one roof, ample parking space, and suitable operating hours. In addition, they provide a choice of physical verification and trial facility of products to the customers. Thus, the offline segment contributes more to the market revenue.
The online segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2028. As buying furniture online can be complex, key players in the market are discovering augmented reality and virtual reality features in their apps and websites so as to create a virtual online shopping experience for their customers. Online stores have a wide scope of choices accessible. There is no limit to the plans, materials, price, and styles, which makes the shopping experience a lot easier and better.
The plastic and bamboo furniture segment dominated the market and held a revenue share of more than 65.0% in 2020. Plastic and bamboo furniture require low maintenance and are economical, customizable, durable, and available in different shapes, colors, and designs.

In addition, plastic and bamboo furniture are largely used in construction activities, thereby contributing more to the market revenue.
The furniture for kids segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 3.9% from 2021 to 2028. The growing availability of innovative and stylish furniture on numerous e-commerce platforms is likely to drive the segment over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific accounted for the dominant revenue share of over 40.0% in 2020. The customers in the region have observed growth in disposable income owing to the slow but steady development in economic conditions of several countries across the region. Moreover, changing lifestyles of individuals are accountable for the prominent growth of the regional market.
North America is forecasted to register the highest CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2028. This can be attributed to the strong customer base in the U.S. Augmented construction of new buildings is anticipated to raise the product demand.
