Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Furniture Manufacturing Market Global Briefing 2017" report to their offering.

The furniture industry comprise establishments that manufacture tables, chairs, desks, cabinets or fixtures that are used in a room or building to support various human activities. The most common materials used in furniture manufacturing are wood and metal.

Asia was the largest region in the furniture manufacturing market in 2016, accounting for 40% market share. This was mainly due to rising disposable income emerging markets such as China and India, thereby fuelling demand for furniture products. The Americas was the second largest region accounting for 36% market share. Europe was the third largest region accounting for 22% market share.

Furniture manufacturing companies are integrating technology with furniture products to offer customers innovative and functional products. Technological advancements are helping furniture companies to offer customers convenience to address their day to day needs.

For instance, American architect and designer Greg Lynn has designed a high-tech chair for the sports brand Nike. The chair was designed for basketball players and it generated heat, cooled athletes' bodies and also monitored the amount of fluid lost.
