Outdoor Furniture Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Outdoor furniture producers have endured significant volatility in recent years. Since households are the largest market for outdoor furniture, demand typically rises with improved disposable income and greater housing starts. However, heightened macroeconomic uncertainty and significant competition from imported products pushed demand for domestic outdoor furniture down despite the economy reopening in 2021. Similarly, manufacturers have endured significant input price volatility, particularly impacting steel, wood and plastic prices. Manufacturers’ inability to pass down cost increases to buyers places downward pressure on profit, discouraging domestic production. These trends have caused demand for new outdoor furniture to shrink at an estimated CAGR of 6.8% to $1.7 billion through the end of 2024, including a 5.3% drop that year alone.
Domestic producers struggle to compete with imported outdoor furniture. Many manufacturers have offshored operations, as it’s often more affordable to produce furniture in countries with fewer environmental and labor regulations, like China and Vietnam. Consumers have become increasingly price-sensitive, favoring more affordable, imported products despite their perceived lower quality. Significant levels of import penetration have prevented the domestic industry from growing, pushing domestic producers to manufacture higher-quality furniture to remain somewhat competitive.
Over the coming years, the industry will benefit from a recovering global economy, including stabilizing inflation and weaker uncertainty. Demand for new outdoor furniture will rise as the residential construction sector recovers. The expected depreciation of the US dollar will benefit domestic producers by making imported products comparatively more affordable, although lower operating costs overseas will cause import penetration to remain high. As domestic manufacturers compete with imports for a slowing market, the number of producers will keep falling. Revenue is set to grow at an estimated CAGR of 1.1% to $1.8 billion through the end of 2029.

Trends and Insights

  • Outdoor furniture manufacturers deal with intense competition from imports. Although demand for outdoor furniture has risen recently, most of it was met by imported outdoor furniture.
  • Metal outdoor furniture is often considered an investment because of its longevity. It can last for many years, making it a cost-effective option in the long run and the most popular product segment.
  • Business-friendly tax policies and regulatory environments can make it more attractive for outdoor furniture manufacturers to operate in a region. The Southeast, in particular, is known for its business-friendly climate.
  • Competition within the industry stems from price, quality, product design and distribution networks. Since consumers are becoming increasingly price-sensitive, price is the most significant component of competition for outdoor furniture manufacturers.
