The outdoors have been providing entertainment opportunities for generations. Sustainability and longevity are the priorities of consumers. Many businesses are now more interested in designing eco-friendly fixtures. Such products are multifunctional and low-maintenance, which adds charm to outdoor spaces such as backyards, gardens, or lawns.

According to a report by Market.us, “The Global Outdoor Furniture Market is projected to be US$ 1.97 Bn in 2021 to reach US$ 9.97 Bn by 2031 at a CAGR of 17.6%.”

Anurag Sharma, a senior research analyst at market.us, said,” Rapid urbanization levels, coupled with booming urban populations have resulted in an increased number of residential and commercial infrastructure. Most new residential structures are being developed with balconies, terraces, gardens, etc., which require a certain amount of outdoor furniture.”

He added,” Increasing disposable incomes across the globe have resulted in increased spending on home renovations and other home furnishing activities. This factor will profoundly influence this sector’s revenue growth prospects in the coming years.”

Outdoor furniture is made with weather-resistant materials, which help to prevent corrosion. Many outdoor furniture options include seating sets, tables or chairs, dining sets, loungers, and daybeds. Outdoor furniture’s main purpose is to provide the right comfort and decor. They are made of weather-resistant material like rustproof metal. The area of the furniture and its price will determine which materials are used.

Two common materials are solution-dyed acrylic and spun polyester. They resist moisture, mildew, staining, and odor. If made from such materials, outdoor objects are also resistant to fading.

In the residential sector, outdoor furniture is rising in demand due to increasing financial freedom and the ability to spend more on leisure and experiences. Several homeowners are looking to improve the look of their gardens and balconies by adding attractive sitting areas. The external climate will influence the choice of furniture.

Outdoor furniture is most commonly used in resorts, hotels, and residential areas. Outdoor furniture is in high demand in countries like India and China. The quality parameters like weatherproof, pest resistance, crackproof, and insect repulsion are of utmost importance as outdoor furniture faces air, dust, soil, and water.

Manufacturers respond to customers’ needs by designing outdoor furniture that resists termites and decay. They use wood with plenty of natural oils to prevent unwanted insects from entering the wood. This has been a popular choice for many consumers.

Teak wood is predominantly used to make outdoor furniture. It requires very little maintenance, even when left outside. The tropical hardwood can withstand the elements, requires minimal maintenance, and lasts up to 75 years. Light sand or polish can restore outdoor teak furniture to its original warm brown tones.

Owing to sustainability problems, consumers are opting for eco-friendly furniture. Thus to cater to their demands, outdoor furniture manufacturers are exerting their attention to craft environment-friendly, lightweight, and durable products without harming the environment. This involves taking into account all relevant factors, such as climate footprint and water use, accurate sourcing, biodiversity, land use, human rights, and other aspects.

Manufacturers are switching to eco-friendly materials like moso bamboo, which is stronger than oak wood. When choosing outdoor furniture, it is important to consider weather resistance, insect protection, crack-proofing, and tensile strength. Most businesses are now focusing on eco-friendly fixtures.

IKEA has made sustainability a priority over the last few years. IKEA buys old or broken IKEA furniture from its consumers and moves it forward for recycling purposes. They are striving to be “climate-positive” by 2030. Today, more than 60% of IKEA products are already based on renewable materials. The company is committed to positively impacting the planet and its people.

It feels like 70 years ago what worked on the market is no longer relevant. A manufacturer must give up some of its core values to significantly impact the market and transform its business. Consumer’s tastes and preferences remain the key determinants in the market. Dedication and an environment-friendly approach will surely drive the demand in the market.
