The residential sector generated most of the demand for furniture products in the country. The construction of more condominiums and residential houses in the country is expected to drive the growth of the industry in the coming years.

Unorganized sector dominated the market, in terms of large number of unorganized manufacturers operated in the country in 2017. Ikea to localize offers to ensure success in India Ikea is set to open its first store in India next month, and the world’s biggest furniture retailer is localizing its offering - from the food menu to its “do-it-yourself” (DIY) assembly model - to ensure success in the country. Ikea, which aims to soon open a 400,000 sq. ft. store in Hyderabad, is setting up its first ever in-house assembly team and offering local delicacies such as samosas to woo shoppers, at a time when growth in some more established markets is slowing.
