Post-pandemic effects have ignited a strong interest in the furniture market. From new sofas and garden furniture to redecorating and purchasing plants, the goal has been clear: upgrade homes and enhance comfort. This trend has significantly impacted the furniture market. Despite a continued preference for physical stores, Fox Intelligence observes a growing trend towards online furniture purchases in Western Europe.
According to Fox Intelligence’s latest quarterly update, while offline furniture purchases are the primary business model, marketplaces are gaining particular traction in Germany and Spain. However, except for Italy, they are growing in all analyzed countries, meaning Germany, Spain, France and UK.
