The global contract furniture market size is estimated to reach USD 119.75 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing capital investments in office, institutional, healthcare/medical facilities, and hospitality infrastructure is expected to generate the need for commercial furniture. The growth of the hospitality and housing & commercial construction industry and the resultant demand for premium and luxury furniture is expected to accelerate the industry growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers focus on developing multifunctional office furniture that provides enhanced comfort during long working hours and facilitates space utilization. Offices that intend to encourage effective employee collaboration to enhance productivity are boosting the demand for modern office furniture.
In recent years, office infrastructure has been witnessing a change in furniture layouts, which is driven by the demand for cost-effective and comfortable amenities. The pandemic badly affected the global economy and the contract furniture market. To break the chain and spread of coronavirus, lockdown orders were imposed by various countries across the globe. Moreover, most companies have completely shifted to a work-from-home model, which left a huge surplus of used furniture and very low demand for new products in 2020. In terms of value, the corporate offices' end-user segment dominated the industry and accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022. The information technology industry continues to be a strong and growing sector around the globe, which is driving the demand for office space expansion. The most important characteristic of technology is its extended impact on the global economy and the job market.
This, in turn, is expected to positively affect the corporate office furniture market. The online distribution channel segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to factors, such as improved internet connectivity and the advent of online shopping events, like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Moreover, consumers have started switching to e-commerce channels to shop for their furniture needs, which helps reduce their need to visit physical retail stores to compare their product features and prices. This may propel the industry growth during the forecast period. Asia Pacific held the largest market share in 2022 owing to the growth of the real estate sector in developing countries, such as China and India. Moreover, development in the economy and improving work conditions are the major factors that will support product demand in the Asia Pacific region.
