Press Release In Spite of Deflated Economy, Sales of Outdoor Furniture Grow To $3 Billion
New York, April 1/PRNewswire - A multitude of factors have combined to create a steadily growing market for outdoor and casual furniture despite the nation’s recent economic woes. According to
Housing start levels are an especially strong predictor of outdoor and casual furniture market performance as new homebuyers are more likely to set up an outdoor living area. With housing start levels strong since 1998, sales of casual furniture can be expected to mirror this growth. Not only are people continuing to buy homes, but they are also spending more time in their homes. With “nesting” and personal security high on many Americans’ agendas, investments in improving the home have taken on a new importance.
“People have found a renewed sense of comfort in the home,” said Meg Hargreaves, VP of Research Publishing for MarketResearch.com. “It follows that as Americans make improvements to this newly important home environment, products in the outdoor and casual furniture market will benefit.”
The U.S. Outdoor and Casual Furniture Market provides detailed information about consumer demographics, as well as distribution and marketing trends, product development, and emerging promotional campaigns. The report also includes historical sales data, as well as market projections through the year 2005.
