- The latest six-month average was 2.2% higher year over year, showing that the price-pressure signal is broader than one monthly reading.
- The latest index level is near the upper end of the available series, so UK furniture manufacturing prices remain elevated by historical comparison.

This indicator tracks the UK furniture producer price index for C31 furniture manufacturing. It shows how prices received by UK furniture manufacturers move at the factory gate, making it useful for reading cost pressure, margin risk and the price component of production value.
Market Context
The UK furniture market relies heavily on imported finished goods, but domestic furniture manufacturing still matters for contract, fitted, bespoke, upholstery and locally supplied product categories. A UK-specific producer price signal helps separate changes in manufacturing value caused by price inflation from changes caused by output volume. It should be read alongside UK furniture imports, retail turnover and production turnover: PPI pressure can lift nominal production value even when volumes are flat, and it can affect sourcing decisions between domestic manufacturers and import channels.
