This is due to increasing consumer disposable income, economic growth, and rising levels of urbanization along with changing lifestyle patterns of the middle class who seek furniture pieces that meet their personal style and taste. For instance, consumers who are environmentally conscious are increasingly demanding eco-friendly furniture.
Moreover, workplaces are transforming due to the recognition of the importance of productive and collaborative work environments, in which furniture plays a part and influences interaction and productivity. There is also greater ease of furniture shopping through e-commerce platforms with a wide variety of furniture designs, styles, prices, features, and the option of doorstep delivery services as well. Hence, these factors are likely to result in the growth of the global furniture logistics market during the forecast period.
Automation, AI, and predictive analytics are transforming supply chain management and optimization, improving the efficiency of their core business activities. For instance, IKEA has cut costs by 20% by dependence on automated systems, such as warehouse management systems (WMS) to streamline their processes and manage their warehouse operations.
Further, AI-based forecasting systems can analyze sales data and trends, incorporate customer feedback, and forecast demand with greater accuracy. Yet another innovation, predictive analytics can also result in massive cost savings by utilizing weather forecasts, traffic data, and social media trends. It then forecasts demand, reducing delivery times and providing a better customer experience. Hence all the above factors are likely to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of transportation directly impacts the profitability of the global furniture logistics market and is due to the large costs of transporting large, bulky, and often fragile furniture items across long distances. One more factor that adds to this cost is the rising cost of fuel which results in transportation costs increasing even further. As a result, the end price that the consumer bears is also increased.
Additionally, the cost of heavy transport equipment such as large trucks, cranes, forklifts, and loading docks and the cost of manual labor used in the transportation process is also high increasing the total logistics costs. Hence, these features of furniture transportation are likely to negatively impact the global furniture logistics market during the forecast period
