Europe Office Furniture Market Segmentation Analysis

Despite the range of competition available for different products, wood furniture still remains the dominant market for to thrive in the market. Wood is the preferred material over the others because it is plentiful and cheap, plus it is affordable at all prices and it is pleasant looking. Wood remains a viable option for furniture. The same is the case for tropical wood as it is plentiful and durable, can solve multiple purposes. Italy, Denmark and Germany are the key target areas for the office furniture. If we consider international best practice models in the relative furniture industries of Italy, Denmark and Germany, there is one common ingredient; a common sense of purpose and identity despite intense firm rivalry and a diverse production base. This means informal agreement among companies to adopt a common market position in terms of price and quality.

For example, Italian furniture has a high reputation for design quality and commands higher prices for that reason. Similarly, German manufacturers have a reputation for quality and technical performance and can also command a premium. Denmark has an image for wood craftsmanship and Danish design also commands a premium. The dominant force in the European market tends to be Italy. The Udine province specifically opted for a proactive policy of conquering the market instead of being dependent on it. This province produces 50 per cent of Europe’s chair production, 80 per cent of Italy’s chair production, produces 40 million seats annually and supports 1,200 firms with 14,000 employees. The success of this province is based on the concept of networking and cluster development of the 1,200 firms. Within the province 37 per cent of the firms produce finished goods, 27 per cent semi- finished and components, while 26 per cent of all firms produce for third parties. The home office sector is growing, spurred by changing working styles and the rise in home computer ownership.

Wood is winning ground because ‘concealed’ personal computer (PC) storage is being tailored to match other household furniture. For example, in the United Kingdom the living room sector is performing well as the new home entertainment technology requires well-designed, good quality wooden storage solutions as a replacement for low-cost metal and plastic stands. Furniture outsourcing activity has started to focus on Eastern Europe as an alternative for local networks. This has been one reason for lower import penetration from Asia and Latin America in comparison with the United States.
