In 2023, the import of furniture made from cane, osier, bamboo or similar materials to the UK was slightly higher than the forecasted 2024 figure. The projected data suggests a steady decline in import volumes through 2028, with an average annual decrease (CAGR) of about 6.0%. Notably, this reflects a 6.2% reduction from 2024 to 2025, then progressively lesser reductions: 7.1% the following year, 7.4% in 2027, and 7.9% approaching 2028.
Future trends to monitor include shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials, advancements in local production capacities, and potential tariff changes affecting imports. These factors could influence import demand and volumes significantly.
