Furniture & Home Furnishings Repair in Germany industry analysis

From 2018 to 2023, turnover in the furniture and furnishings repair sector increased by an average of 0.1% per year. The coronavirus pandemic has had different effects on the industry. Many people have tidied up their homes, wardrobes and storage spaces during the coronavirus restrictions. Things came to light that needed to be renewed. As a result, restorers benefited from an increase in orders and sales during the pandemic. At the same time, many consumers replaced their old furniture with new furniture, which worsened the order situation for industry players specialising in furniture restoration. Overall, uncertainty and a reluctance to place orders have increased since 2020. In times of high inflation and economic slowdown, major restoration projects in particular were postponed in 2022. In contrast, the order situation for joiners and carpenters in 2022 remained roughly at the level of previous years.Sales growth of 0.2% is expected for the current year, which means that industry sales will probably total 295.4 million euros. The business expectations of industry players are gloomy due to the difficult situation on many sales markets. Consumers are unsettled by inflation and the gloomy economy and are postponing non-essential household projects into the future. However, repairing furniture is cheaper than buying new furniture, which is why consumers are likely to make more use of repairs in a difficult economic situation. The business situation for arts and crafts businesses that carry out restorations remains stable overall, which can be attributed to factors such as government cuts in energy costs and easing supply chain bottlenecks. Many carpenters and joiners are likely to continue to benefit from high order utilisation. Competition with furniture stores is also likely to ease slightly, as initial saturation effects can be observed in the furniture trade following the numerous furniture purchases during the coronavirus pandemic. In the coming years, this new furniture will wear out, which will lead to higher demand for repair services.Industry revenue is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.7% between 2023 and 2028, reaching 320.9 million euros in 2028. During this period, the industry is likely to be strongly influenced by the trend towards sustainability. The increasing environmental awareness of the population is likely to lead to more and more consumers having their old furniture repaired instead of buying new. Due to the worsening shortage of skilled labour in the industry, personnel costs are expected to rise in the coming years.
