Key findings:
- In 2025, German furniture apparent consumption increased versus 2024, pointing to a firmer domestic availability signal.
- The 2025 level sits between the 2020 low and 2022 high, so the availability signal is neither at a trough nor at a peak.
- From 2018 to 2025, apparent consumption increased (9.1%), production turnover declined (-3.5%), and retail turnover was broadly flat (-0.9%). This separates the production-and-trade availability trend from the factory-value and consumer-facing retail trends.

Methodology: Apparent Consumption Methodology
This indicator tracks apparent furniture consumption in Germany. It combines furniture production, imports and exports to estimate the value of furniture available for domestic use in the German market.
Market Context
Apparent consumption is a demand-side market indicator that links domestic production with international trade flows. For Germany, it helps separate the scale of local furniture manufacturing from the furniture value available to the domestic market after exports are deducted and imports are added.
The measure is useful alongside Germany's furniture production turnover, imports, exports and import share. A rising apparent-consumption value can reflect stronger domestic demand, higher prices, changes in product mix or a larger net inflow of furniture, while a decline can point to weaker demand, export strength relative to production, or lower import values.
