North America School Furniture Market: Key Drivers, Trends and Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key North America School Furniture Market Driver
The rising popularity of ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture is the key factor driving the growth of the market. RTA furniture has become a national trend and is in high consumer demand due to its convenience. Designed with both practical and artistic uses in mind, RTA furniture is perfect for K-12 schools. RTA's school furniture is easy to assemble and disassemble and can be packed and shipped by customers in compressed flat packs.
Moreover, key growth drivers for RTA school furniture are the introduction of e-commerce into the school furniture market, and free pick-up and delivery facilities. The rising demand for such furniture coincides with the growing demand for portable furniture that can be used for multiple purposes. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the North America school furniture market during the forecast period.
Key North America School Furniture Market Trends
Increasing student enrollment in schools in North America is the primary trend in the market. With the ever-increasing number of national and international students in North American institutions, there is an urgent need to provide these learners with a suitable and well-resourced learning environment. This need has increased the demand for different types of school furniture such as desks, chairs, tables, storage units, and innovative seating arrangements.
Moreover, in response to this trend, furniture manufacturers are focusing their research and development (R&D) efforts on creating products that promote comfort, ergonomic support, and engagement. Additionally, the influx of international students has increased the demand for furniture designs that seamlessly integrate technology, facilitate interactive learning, and adapt to modern teaching methods. Hence, such factors are expected to propel the growth of the North America school furniture market during the forecast period.
Key North America School Furniture Market Challenge
High volatility in prices of raw materials needed for school furniture is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. The cost of raw materials such as wood, steel, textiles, plastics, and cardboard has increased significantly in the past few years. In addition, the prices of raw materials such as chipboard, wood, foam, chemical polishes, paints, and hardware used in furniture manufacturing are also rising.
Moreover, furniture makers' profit margins are hurting as the gap between rising production costs and suppliers' ability to raise prices narrows. The price of mid-range furniture increased by 25-30% due to the high price of wood and the scarcity of wood. Thus, such factors hinder the growth of the North America school furniture market during the forecast period.
