3 Developments in the major product and market sectors. Supplier and distribution developments. Report Summary The UK office and home office furniture market has shown modest value growth in both 2012 and 2013, followed with stronger growth in the following years. The market is estimated to have grown by 4% in 2016, with similar growth forecast for 2017, though market value remains below the peak year of While the excess production capacity in the industry has mostly been absorbed, the market remains very competitive for manufacturers, dealers and other suppliers. Business confidence has improved steadily as the economy has grown. The commercial new build sector is relatively buoyant, with new office construction increasing, albeit remaining well below the levels reached in the past. Whilst technological developments, including better cable management and the increased use of wireless technologies around the office, are likely to stimulate demand in some sectors in the longer term, they are unlikely to affect demand significantly in the shorter term. The UK office furniture market has split into two broad categories, the corporate sector serviced by UK and overseas branded suppliers, either directly to end users or via fit-out specialists and furniture dealers and the SOHO sector supplied mainly from China and other low cost producing countries via mail order, the Internet and retail outlets. A large proportion of home office furniture is supplied in flat pack form by specialist manufacturers and sold through outlets such as IKEA, Argos, Staples, and Tesco Direct. In the medium term the UK office furniture market is expected to show slowing growth until 2019, with annual growth rates of 3-4% from 2020 onwards. It is likely that ongoing Brexit negotiations during that period will have a significant but unknown influence on the market. Technology will continue to influence the market, with more companies adopting wireless, network stations and VoIP systems and procedures. List of Contents Contents Listing 1.
