Global Luxury Furniture Market: Ken Research

Introduction: Luxury Furniture was something that only the wealthy could usually afford and primarily still is, although there has been significant increase in the capacity for those who can afford to obtain luxury furniture. Rising disposable income and the effect of cultural globalization have boosted the demand for luxury furniture and moved the demand center from the hospitality sector to the homes of individuals. While the hospitality sector was the predominant market for luxury furniture, there is now an increasing desire for consumers to purchase luxury furniture. This is further supplemented by the growing use of luxury furniture in Spas which is one of the key markets for industrial sale of luxury furniture due to the high reliance on aesthetics.

Market Overview: The luxury furniture market is expected to grow significantly in the upcoming period with the market valued at USD 23 Billion in 2017 and to be worth over 30 Billion by the end of 2023. This gives it a modest CAGR of 4.6%. The market is poised to grow faster beyond 2025 owing to increasing standards of living and an expected growth in consumer disposable income.  A major demand segment in luxury furniture is the use of art based furniture and recycled furniture, both of which are expected to be worth over USD 2 Billion by 2020. The luxury furniture market is expected to be one of the key drivers behind the growth of the furniture market.  With increasing emphasis on design and comfort, luxury furniture is poised to have major increase in industrial as well as commercial demand. The main channels for sale also play a crucial role as most luxury furniture is unique and the originality becomes a major selling point, hence, brands focus on the extent of differentiation they can offer in their design aiming to create design that cannot easily be replicated or to use materials that are rare for the construction of the furniture. Primary sales channel works through the distributor as many times, manufacturers deal with industrial sales majorly. Although the manufacturer winds up having higher margins despite mostly having lower prices than the distributor. Although the largest contributor to the market will be in the European region, the market is expected to experience high growth primarily in the Asia pacific and the Middle East region. Emerging economies are expected to be participants in the luxury furniture market in the long term

Key Drivers: The main drivers behind the luxury furniture market in any region are relatively similar, the primary driver being the increase in disposable income. Growing changes in lifestyle along with cultural and financial growth of the population have led to the market demand for more unique and authentic furniture which has originality attached to it. Another key driver is the increased demand from the hospitality sector owing to the increase in construction of luxury hospitality facilities in Asia and Europe. The other key driver is the emergence of the furniture art market where the entire focus is on the design of the furniture.

Competition Scenario: Some of the key players in the global luxury furniture market include Muebles Pico, Nella Vetrina, Laura Ashley Folding PLC, Henredon Furniture Industries, Inc., Giovanni Visentin srl, Iola Furniture Ltd., Turri S.r.l, Herman Miller, Inc., Heritage Home Group LLC and others. Companies born to serve the made to order requirements are now opening their stores in different geographical locations to provide buyers creative designs that go well with time. Besides this, many furniture manufacturers are partnering up with artists or interior designers to create and offer a luxury range of furniture.

Opportunities: There is a major opportunity for authentically designed furniture which is commercially viable. Although there are antique pieces of furniture, due to the requirement of functionality unlike wine, most furniture required to be used does not increase in value with time. The primary selling point for furniture luxury is the functionality and the design coupled with the extent of comfort. Most luxury furniture is manufactured using wood and that has been the major driver of the wooden furniture market being worth over USD 6 Billion in the year 2017.

Malaysia Tiles Market is expected to be dominated by Floor tiles in 2021 with more than 75% revenue share: Ken Research

Despite the global commodity price impact and financial market volatility, Malaysia's economy remained strong owing to a diversified production and export base, strong balance sheet position, flexible exchange rate, responsive macroeconomic policies and deep financial markets. The Malaysian economy expanded by 4.2% in the first quarter of 2016. Construction industry in the country has observed a robust growth rate in last five years. The value of the construction industry was recorded MYR 140.0 billion in 2015, which increased to MYR 166.0 billion in 2016. The growth in the construction industry has tremendously impacted the tiles market in the country. Also, it has been forecasted that the construction sector is expected to grow by 8.0% in coming year and will reach at MYR 170.0 billion in 2017; this will further boost the demand of tiles in the country.
Tile manufacturing industry in Malaysia shows a different picture than the one existing 20 years ago. In earlier times, people had cemented floors in their houses and other places such as office, retail outlets and others. With the rise in standard of living, tiles for floors were introduced in the market which had quality as well as aesthetic beauty. In early years, the tiles were used only on the floors by the customers including the residential sector, commercial sector, hospitality and healthcare sector and others. With the changing time and introduction of new variants in the tile industry, the market has witnessed a sharp peak in the sales of wall and roof tiles.  Moreover, the further expansion of product portfolio of the tile companies has led to increase in the revenues of the industry. The companies introduced variants such as 3D tiles, carpet tiles and others in the market.
The replacement demand for tiles had increased over the years by existing residential, commercial and government units in the country which had positively impacted the tiles industry. The rising export of the Malaysian tiles due to high demand in the international market has further supported the revenues of the industry. The tiles market has enhanced over the years with the entry of new products in the country. Also, it has been observed that the Malaysian population has gradually shifted from cement and stone floors, wall paints and other materials to floor tiles, wall tiles and roof tiles.
Most of the newly constructed houses and commercial complexes are using tiles for flooring due to ease of installation and easy availability in variety of forms based on the requirement of individual product. The prices of porcelain tiles are higher as compared to other types of tiles which cause higher revenue generation by this segment. Porcelain tiles can be used for both indoor and outdoor application and can be used on floors and exterior walls. In cases of high foot traffic, high moisture content and when the people do not have high pricing issue, porcelain is preferred choice. This led the porcelain tiles to contribute higher share in the tiles market in Malaysia in 2016.
The southern and central region of Malaysia dominated in total sales of tiles in the country in 2016 owing to the high number of commercial and residential buildings in these regions. Places including Meleka, Kuala Lumpur, Bahu, Johar and others fall under this category. The southern region of the country is the major hub for the manufacturing of tiles and hence attributed to the revenues of tile industry in Malaysia in 2016. The increase in the number of residential units created a huge demand for the tiles in the country. In addition to this, the residential units have a constant demand of the replacement tiles which attributes to the tile industry in the country.
Malaysia tile industry is saturated and fragmented in nature with various organized and unorganized players operating in the space. Established players are already having strong presence in the market and hence new players can enter the market only when it is a big brand or there is a big merger or acquisition. The big players concentrate on the exports as well as domestic market whereas the small players cater to the domestic demand for tiles in the country. The parameters used for competition between the companies include quality, variety, price, location of plant and branding. Location of plant is very important so as to increase sales and decrease transportation cost. Guocera, MML, Niro and White horse focus on quality and hence are more expensive. They also invest significant portion of revenue on branding and advertising.
The competition in the Malaysia tile industry is very high and the companies have developed various strategies to compete. Few strategies include holding various events and promotions for its customers, strengthen manufacturing capabilities and enhancing its production plants, investing in technology to improve their quality and to keep innovating and launching new products designs, acquire other firms to expand its market and reduce production cost through research in raw materials to achieve higher financial results. The major firms in Malaysia Tiles market in terms of revenue include YI-LAI Berhad, White Horse, MML, Kim Hin Industry Berhad, Guocera, Seacera Group Berhad, Johan holdings and Niro Ceramic Group.
The market will increase in future owing to growing urbanization and changes in type of dwelling. The number of households is anticipated to increase by 2021 raising the demand for residential units, which will directly impact the tiles industry in the country. The incline in commercial spaces in future will lead to rise in the requirement of the tiles. Increase in number of hotels in coming years will affect the market positively. Latest innovations, new launches and replacement tiles are expected to trigger the demand for tiles in the country.
