Growth Drivers

The Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic Drives the Growth of the Market

Since the COVID-19 outbreak broke out globally, governments in developing and developed economies have imposed a complete lockdown. The COVID-19 standards required only essential services industries to remain open during a lockdown. Consequently, remote working has become the norm for most IT professionals. Tech companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, which have significant populations in Seattle and other pandemic-affected locations, were among the first to implement remote work arrangements. For instance, due to the pandemic, Amazon recommended that all employees in their Seattle office work from home, leaving much of downtown deserted. Consequently, the work from home furniture market has seen potential growth due to the pandemic.

Work From Home Provides Flexibility to Employees

Microsoft reported that 73% of its 30,000 employees in 31 countries want to continue working remotely. Remote and flexible workers tend to be happier and more loyal employees, in part because work from home lowers stress, allows for more hobbies and interests, and improves personal relationships, among other benefits. For example, a leading work-from-home furniture company, Godrej, reported a 5-10 times increase in sales of work-from-home furniture since the lockdown. Thus, employees are now more open to working from home, as evidenced by this statistic. These are the key factors driving the work from home furniture market across the globe.

As a result, the growth of the work from home furniture market is constrained by the factors stated above.
