Outlook of the furniture manufacturing market in Serbia
According to Technavio’s market research analyst, the Serbian furniture manufacturing market will grow at a moderate CAGR of over 4% by 2020. Factors such as the strong demand from export markets will aid in this market’s growth during the forecast period. Serbia is signatory to free trade agreements, such as the CEFTA, and agreements with the EU and Russia. As a result, manufacturers in the furniture manufacturing market space in Serbia have gained from such agreements as they have facilitated an increase in export volumes. For instance, there is a large and growing preference for Serbian furniture in Russia because of their high quality and cost-effectiveness. Apart from entering into joint ventures with Russian manufacturers, Serbian manufacturers are also focusing on providing sub-contracting services to clients in Russia to enhance sales. The demand from Russia is also driven by the fact that a number of Serbian construction companies currently operate in Russia and source products, such as furniture, from manufacturers in Serbia.
In this region, the recent restructuring of business activities will also aid in spurring this market’s growth over the next four years. It has been observed that many manufacturers in the Serbian furniture manufacturing market are focusing on strategies to enhance visibility, sales, and exports of their products. Key companies such as Simpo are focusing on restructuring their business model to a demand-based model. The company aims to collaborate closely with interested buyers and satisfy market demand by manufacturing products according to demand, as opposed to producing furniture and then pushing their sales in the market. Utilizing this strategy, the company also aims to reduce the burden of unsold inventory.
