The office furniture market was worth around £730 million in the UK, with the market negatively impacted by a recession in the financial services and TMT industries, in addition to the reduced business confidence caused by 9/11 and the Iraq conflict etc, resulting in uncertainty. The commercial office sector has continued to witness a decline in new orders and output underpinned by the recession, resulting in weakend demand for corporate office furniture, whist the SOHO sector was affected but not by as much.
The current market conditions remain difficult, although the market is showing signs of a recovery as consumer and business confidence is returning. The market remains highly competitive with a surplus of supply remaining and increasing threat from imports, resulting in changes in certain distribution channels.
