Key findings:
- In 2025, US furniture apparent consumption declined versus 2024, pointing to a softer 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.
- The series is above the start of the period, indicating stronger domestic market availability over the reported history.

Methodology: Apparent Consumption Methodology
US Furniture Apparent Consumption tracks the annual value of furniture available to the United States market after domestic furniture manufacturing shipments are adjusted for import and export flows. It gives a supply-side view of US market availability, connecting the domestic production base with the large imported furniture supply serving US retailers, distributors and buyers.
Market Context
The United States combines one of the world's largest furniture demand markets with a sizeable domestic manufacturing base and deep exposure to imported supply. Apparent consumption helps show the market value available inside the country after US production is combined with HS 9401, HS 9402 and HS 9403 furniture trade flows.
The indicator is especially useful for separating domestic market availability from production scale alone. A change in US apparent consumption can reflect movements in manufacturing shipments, imported assortments, export flows, prices or product mix, so it should be read alongside US furniture production turnover, imports by supplier country, import share, retail turnover and consumer market size.
