Turkey’s furniture sector is balancing momentum and pressure at the same time. In the 2024 Business Expectations Survey, 29.3% of manufacturing firms expected higher activity in the next quarter, and furniture production tracks that broader cycle. Meanwhile, the EU and the US pull in different demand levels while imports and product compliance requirements shape what gets built, shipped, and sold.
Key Takeaways
- 29.3% of Turkey’s manufacturing firms expected higher activity in the next quarter in 2024 Business Expectations Survey; furniture-related production is within the manufacturing activity cycle captured by the survey.
- Turkey’s household furniture consumption is supported by large-scale retail demand; however, UN Comtrade indicates furniture parts and accessories (HS 9403) form a major share of exports.
- In 2023, Turkey’s exports in HS 94 increased year-over-year (YoY) per UN Comtrade compared with 2022 for the same product code.
- 4.2 million m³ is Turkey’s estimated 2022 production volume of industrial roundwood used for downstream wood products feeding furniture supply chains.
- Turkey’s furniture import value was USD 2.9 billion in 2023 (HS 94), capturing the scale of imported furniture and furniture parts into the market.
- Turkey’s furniture exports to the EU were USD 2.1 billion in 2023 (HS 94, destination EU total), indicating the EU as a dominant outlet for Turkish furniture makers.
- Turkey’s furniture exports to the USA were USD 0.55 billion in 2023 (HS 94, partner USA), showing meaningful but smaller demand compared with the EU.
- USD 0.54 billion Turkey’s furniture imports from Germany in 2023 (HS 94), reflecting intra-industry trade and sourcing of specialized products.
- USD 0.29 billion Turkey’s furniture imports from Poland in 2023 (HS 94), demonstrating regional competitive supply.
- USD 0.22 billion Turkey’s furniture imports from Ukraine in 2023 (HS 94), illustrating regional supply chain links despite geopolitical disruption.
- EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation is adopted under Regulation (EU) 2024/XXXX (sustainable products framework); furniture-related product groups will be covered via implementing measures, affecting design and information requirements for imported goods.
- EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) requires due diligence from operators placing timber and timber products on the EU market; furniture containing timber must comply for EU market access.
- EU REACH Regulation requires manufacturers/importers of chemical substances in products to register/comply; furniture producers must comply for chemicals and mixtures used in finishes, adhesives, and components.
- Turkey’s furniture manufacturing value added is included in OECD’s TiVA database for gross value added by industry; the furniture sector aligns with NACE 31.
- The OECD TiVA database provides annual estimates for value added by industry and country, enabling calculation of furniture-related contributions where NACE mappings are available.
Turkey’s furniture sector faces EU-driven exports, rising production expectations, and compliance pressures that shape costs and demand.
