Industry Pulse

A compact slice of our Industry Pulse monitor: only the furniture-sector indicators — factory output and its real growth, the upstream wood industry, the corporate installed base and the sector’s international trade (HS code 94).

Series marked monthly are published by the source cumulatively from January; the panel converts them to per-period flows. Soum values are at current prices.

The panel always shows the latest official readings, in step with the full monitor.

Monthly output of the furniture manufacturing industry, at current prices — the single closest pulse of the sector the official statistics publish.

Physical-volume index of furniture production, converted to a growth rate — inflation is stripped out.

Monthly output of wooden and cork products except furniture — the domestic upstream of the furniture value chain.

Balance-sheet initial cost of furniture and office equipment held by commercial enterprises at year-end — a proxy for the corporate replacement market.

Output of the furniture manufacturing industry, all business entities.

Seasonality is strong: output ramps up towards December and resets each January. Use the y/y tab to read momentum without the seasonal wave.

Foreign trade in furniture-industry goods, in current US dollars: the latest full-year readings with their history, plus the running year-to-date count from the monthly series.

Figures cover the whole of HS code 94, which alongside furniture and bedding also includes luminaires & lighting equipment and prefabricated buildings.
