With the emergence of India as a burgeoning international furniture centre, the importance of well organised furniture exhibitions cannot be overstated.Not just India's furniture sector, but also the furniture rental business, is seeing a significant increase. The brick-and-mortar and internet sales sectors of the Indian furniture business are seeing robust expansion.

The furniture rental industry is also seeing robust expansion, which is anticipated to continue for the foreseeable future.As the world's fourth biggest furniture consumer and fifth largest furniture manufacturer, India's domestic furniture industry is projected to increase at a CAGR of 13.3 percent between 2021 and 2026, from $174 billion to $37.7 billion.This extraordinary rise is mirrored by online furniture sellers, whose revenue climbed from $300 million in 2017 to $920 million in 2020, at a compound annual growth rate of 32%, and is projected to reach $2.2 billion by 2026.

Similarly, the furniture rental industry, valued at $4.1 billion in 2020, is projected to reach $13 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 26%.Redseer predicts that the combined furniture and housing market would reach $40 billion by 2026.In 2021-22, the per capita income will increase by 18.3%, and private consumption expenditures will increase by 7.9%, both of which contribute to the industry's exponential expansion.Urbanization also had a part, since 40% of the world's population will reside in urban areas by 2025, and the rising number of nuclear homes would increase furniture demand.

Another big element is the mainstreaming of internet shopping, where expenditure per consumer has risen over the last five years and is contributing around 1% to the overall increase. 20+ million new product buyers annually.Considering that the Indian furniture business is primarily unorganised, the WOFX World Furniture Expo was formed to help the development of the industry by offering a robust platform to allow methodical expansion of the organised furniture sector.
