The pandemic had a chain reaction, affecting all facets of life — how we work, socialize, shop, and connect. One clear impact of the outbreak has been the rapid transition to online shopping — even for big-ticket items.
We can’t deny the fact that the furniture industry was in the midst of a transformation before 2020. However, the onset of the pandemic accelerated that change to the point where having a solid e-commerce ecosystem in place became “a must.”
Since the pandemic started, we've been gathering data related to the impact of COVID-19 on the furniture industry, and we created an infographic to summarize the information.
Knowing that data is the core of good decision-making, we compiled all relevant insights to help furniture companies make informed decisions in the future.
