The German furniture industry is again experiencing expansion. In 2005 this industry, which is dominated by SMEs, achieved sales of €17.2 billion with its 150,000 employees. This represented a 1.9 percent growth in sales from the previous year, the fastest rate of growth in seven years.

The challenges of the future will lie above all in the satisfying of ever-changing consumer demands as driven by demographic changes in the population. Further problems are the increasing price competition among retailers and the strong dependency on the domestic market.
