U.S. Furniture Market 2024:  Global Supply Shifts & Domestic Manufacturing Trends

The U.S. furniture industry is driven by both domestic production and a strong global supply chain, with imports contributing nearly $23 billion—about half of all home furnishings sold nationwide.

While China dominated wood furniture imports from 2001 onward, Vietnam surpassed China in 2020, reflecting the impact of tariffs and shifting sourcing strategies across Asia and North America.

• Global Shifts: 81% of U.S. furniture imports now come from Vietnam, China, Malaysia, Mexico, and Canada.
• Tariff Impacts: Chinese import tariffs reshaped sourcing patterns, accelerating Vietnam’s rise as a top producer.
• Domestic Resurgence: A 1% drop in 2020 imports signals strengthening U.S. manufacturing amid supply chain disruptions.
