Abstract
The contract furniture market in Italy accounts for approximately EUR 2.6
million (at current prices). This segment has rapidly developed also in Italy
since the contract market in the Arabian countries has boomed, about 15 years
ago. Hospitality is the major business in Italy, accounting for about a half
of the total market for contract. Sectors of retail, education, marine,
hospitals and health clinics, airports and the property market also have
relevant shares in this emerging business.
CSIL Market Research The Italian contract market, furniture and interiors
offers a comprehensive picture of the structure of the contract demand
determinants, the supply structure and the purchasing process in the Italian
market for contract furniture and furnishings.
Information are provided on the following segments: hotels and hospitality,
restaurant and bar, retail, education, marine and others. Trends are given for
the following markets: interior furniture (upholstered furniture, bedroom and
living, other furniture), bathroom furniture and wellness, office furniture,
outdoor furniture, lighting fixtures (decorative and architectural) and other
interior decoration (window covering, wall papers and others).
Companies' total sales operating in the contract market are available, broken
down by supply structure: interior furniture, office furniture, upholstered
furniture, kitchen furniture, and lighting. The quota of the contract business
for each company mentioned is also specified.
A useful appendix includes around 600 companies: 260 contract manufacturers
more than 200 architects and interior designers and 200 retailers operating in
the contract segment.
This report is the result of 80 interviews with key players in the Italian
contract market (architects, interior designers and specifiers, main
contractors, wholesalers and retailers, others), and further quantitative and
qualitative elaborations based on CSIL long-lasting experience as market
research provider.
