Outdoor furniture: the CSIL Report analyzes its market and production in Europe
The European outdoor furniture market, which accounts for around 3% of total furniture consumption in the area, recorded double-digit growth in 2021, well above the average growth of the entire furniture sector. According to CSIL estimates, this market will also evolve positively in 2022 and 2023. Germany, United Kingdom, France and Italy are the main outdoor furniture markets in Europe, with an overall share that exceeds 50% of total consumption.

Imports of outdoor furniture in Europe represent an important share of consumption; this is due to the substantial increase in imports from Asia and Eastern Europe and to the significant policy of outsourcing and relocation by European producers.
