US Residential Cabinets
Description
US Residential Cabinets
Demand for residential cabinets in the US is forecast to rise 2.9% annually to $23 billion in 2026, a deceleration from the 2016-2021 period as new housing construction and home remodeling normalizes following exceedingly high levels in 2021 and prices for materials used in the construction of cabinets (such as wood) recede from inflation- and supply chain-related highs in 2021 and 2022. Gains will be supported by:
more intensive use of cabinets in homes; single-family housing will account for the largest share of cabinet demand in the US
the older nature of the nation’s multifamily housing stock – building owners looking to rejuvenate their properties to attract tenants will do so by replacing older or worn cabinetry
builder efforts to create more attractive and unique residences by installing cabinets in rooms where they were not traditionally installed, such as mudrooms and laundry rooms
Functionality Is a Key Factor for Cabinet Remodeling Projects
Remodeling continues to account for the majority of cabinet demand, as cabinets are one of the most frequently updated components of a kitchen or bathroom, particularly when a home is bought or sold. In addition to aesthetics, their ability to facilitate better usage of a particular room is important. For example:
Homeowners often add islands or bar-style seating to kitchens to improve their functionality. This additional surface space is usually attached to base cabinets, which offer expanded kitchen storage.
The construction of additional bathrooms to assist in making easier to age-in-place or to create multigenerational living spaces often involves installing cabinets to allow for the storage of a variety of items.
Entertainment Center Cabinets to Exhibit the Fastest Growth of Any Product Type
Cabinets installed outside of kitchens and bathrooms are forecast to see healthy demand growth. Entertainment centers are forecast to experience the fastest growth of any cabinet type. Demand gains for entertainment centers will be supported by:
style trends that call for homes to have larger living room areas that increase the amount of space available for large, floor-to-ceiling entertainment centers
aesthetic trends, such as turning the living room into a focal point by having large entertainment centers that are used to display and store various “tchotchkes”, personalizing the area
the desire of consumers to turn the “dead” space around their TV into functional space by purchasing larger wall unit entertainment centers
Study Description
This Freedonia study analyzes the US residential cabinets industry. It presents historical demand data (2011, 2016 and 2021) and forecasts (2026 and 2031) by product (base, wall, tall), market (single-family, multifamily, and manufactured housing), application (new and remodeling), and by region and subregion. Demand for all products is measured in unit terms and value terms. The study also evaluates factors that will influence residential cabinet demand and discusses key suppliers and market share.
