Mattress Manufacturing in Germany industry analysis

From 2019 to 2024, industry turnover fell by an average of 0.9% per year. The limited availability of various primary products, such as foam and wood products, has slowed down sales growth since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. The high demand coupled with interrupted production processes led to bottlenecks in the supply of materials, resulting in longer delivery times and higher costs. The high logistics, transport and energy costs led to further price increases for mattresses as a result of the war in Ukraine at the latest, which was reflected in higher sales. However, the increase in the price of industry products also led to middle and low-income earners in particular cutting back on their consumption, which resulted in a tight order situation. At the same time, sales in the premium segment increased. The spending mood of many consumers remained subdued in 2023. The propensity to save was particularly high for goods that went beyond everyday use, which led to declining sales in the mattress industry.In 2024, industry sales are expected to fall by 0.2% to 983.4 million euros. According to mattress manufacturers, the biggest challenges include the weak consumer climate, the economic standstill in Germany, increasing bureaucracy, the shortage of skilled labour and the rise in wage, salary and energy costs. Companies in the sector are trying to compensate for the reduced demand by cutting costs internally. Collections are being downsized and many corporate strategies are currently focussing the portfolio on the essentials.The strong price competition from manufacturers from other EU countries and China is likely to intensify further in the coming years and cause financial difficulties for smaller mattress manufacturers in particular. Over the next five years, industry turnover is expected to fall by an average of 1% per year, reaching 934.6 million euros in 2029. Despite increasing competition from imports, there are still opportunities for growth in the industry, primarily in the flourishing online mattress market. In addition, increasing sustainability and health awareness among the population is leading to a growing willingness to pay for quality products with sustainability certifications.

Trends and Insights

  • The pandemic partially benefited the industry, as consumers invested more in furnishing their homes due to the restrictions on leisure activities. In particular, the online purchase of mattresses gained in importance.
  • Cellular plastic mattresses are the best-selling product in the industry, followed by spring mattresses. Cellular plastic mattresses are cheaper than spring mattresses and adapt very well to different body shapes, which increases sleeping comfort.
  • The highest number of companies in the sector is located in the Central region, where the majority are located along the so-called furniture mile in East Westphalia, which is characterised by the high concentration of raw material suppliers and the short distance to other furniture manufacturers.
  • Internal competition is primarily dependent on brand, price and product differentiation strategies. The product range is very homogeneous, which is why mattress manufacturers that produce niche products find it easier to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
