The "The Furniture Industry in the Gulf Countries: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report contains updated furniture statistics, trends and indicators useful to analyse the furniture market in the Gulf area, together with tables, graphs, illustrated maps and information gathered through interviews with top furniture companies and sector experts.

For each considered country the report analyses the furniture market through main demand determinants, furniture consumption and per capita furniture spending.

Who are the top players in the area? The report provides information (Name, Activity, Product Portfolio and Web) for over 280 manufacturers and distributors operating in the area and the competitive system description. International furniture fairs and professional furniture magazines are also indicated.

From the supply side it includes data for furniture production (by geographical region or area of the country) and productive factors.

The Gulf region is an interesting market for furniture companies: the area is an expanding market, whose population is growing fast and is made up of consumers with high purchasing power. Furniture consumption is also sustained by a positive trend in construction activity. This generates furniture demand, both for residential and non-residential use. Local furniture production is relatively undeveloped and the market is very open to imports of foreign products.

The area has absorbed a total of around USD 4 billion of imported products in 2016. China and the traditional producers, such as Italy, USA and Germany, play a key role but the competition grows due to the increasing weight of other countries such as the UK, Egypt, Turkey and Poland. Also local producers grow, attracted by the numerous market opportunities.
