India stands as one of the largest global importers of office furniture, witnessing a notable increase in furniture imports attributed to several factors. The growth in imports is primarily driven by the limited modernization and innovative design within the domestic furniture industry, a shortage of skilled labor, restricted market access, and challenges in maintaining quality control. The outlook for the imported office furniture market in India is experiencing an upward trajectory. Key countries contributing to India's furniture imports include China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Italy, and Thailand. Multinational corporations (MNCs) like Teknion have adopted a strategy of appointing subcontractors for furniture installation, importing furniture primarily from their manufacturing plants in countries such as Malaysia. Similarly, in the branded segment, Durian sells imported furniture through approximately 40 outlets. The rise of e-commerce platforms in the business-to-business (B2B) space has further streamlined the process of placing overseas orders. The preference for Chinese furniture is increasing due to the escalating costs associated with good quality local timber, which is currently in short supply.

Manufacturers are progressively incorporating sustainable materials, such as recycled and FSC-certified wood, and adopting eco-friendly manufacturing processes to decrease their environmental footprint. The stress on sustainable practices extends to the entire product lifecycle, from sourcing materials to end-of-life considerations, to developing a circular economy approach. Green certifications and eco-labels are becoming projecting, assuring customers of the ecologically sensible qualities of the furniture.
