The rising demand for modern interiors including wardrobes and sofas, the growth of residential construction projects as well as the hospitality sector are some of the factors which are bolstering the Indian furniture market. Easy availability of furniture through online and offline distribution channels is fuelling industry expansion across the country.
Globally, wood as a building material is becoming more relevant and attractive; CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) is observing a real boom. Shortage of the resource wood and increasing logistic costs are driving the search for alternative and lighter materials. Light-weight panels and the usage of fast-growing materials as well as light materials are therefore witnessing an increased share in furniture production.
The demand for wooden furniture has increased manifold in India. The furniture market in India is moving from the unorganized sector to the organized industry to adapt to fast changes in the furniture market. India is the fifth largest furniture producer at a global level and the fourth largest consumer of furniture. The market was valued at $17.4 bn in FY21 and is predicted to reach $37.7 billion by 2026, growing at a double-digit CAGR of 13.37% during 2020-2026.
As a knowledge sharing forum, DelhiWood will feature multiple seminars on latest trends and innovations organized by leading Industry associations as well as Skill Development programmes organized by the Furniture & Fittings Skill Council of India (FFSC).

India – a favourable place in the Asian market
”The furniture and flooring Industry in India is witnessing a great demand from the growing middle class, which in turn is attracting both international manufacturers as well as machinery and tooling suppliers to set up base in India. Companies like IKEA are establishing hubs in India to cater to the local demand, but also potentially to serve outlying regions like the Middle East which were otherwise being serviced through Europe. India enjoys a favourable place in the Asian market, it has the technology, the talent as also the demand.”
Luigi De Vito, President, Eumabois
Local manufacturers make India a competitive market
”The demand for wooden furniture in the Indian market is mainly driven by the residential sector. The wood furniture market in India is competitive due to the presence of many small and local manufacturers in the market, accounting for a larger share in production. The need for modular furniture provides immense opportunities for wooden furniture and hardware owners in the market. We are confident that DelhiWood will succeed in providing the relevant technologies and solutions to meet the demands of this sector.
Sonia Prashar, Managing Director and Chairperson of the Board.”
