Home Furniture Rental in the US industry analysis
The Home Furniture Rental industry serves customers who lease or rent furniture products, including bed frames, couches, dining room tables, and other home products. The industry primarily caters to individuals with an immediate short-term need, like college students or those who lack the necessary income or credit to purchase these big-ticket items. This industry is countercyclical to the economy, performing well in difficult economic times when consumer confidence and spending are limited. Conversely, during good economic times, when disposable income levels are high, credit is more accessible, and consumer spending is rising, consumers are more likely to purchase home furniture rather than rent it. Industry revenue has been shrinking at an annualized 2.4% over the five years to 2024 and is expected to total $631.8 million in 2024 when revenue will drop an estimated 3.0%.
Trends and Insights
- As the market matures, existing companies might face saturation within their current target demographics. This will push them to expand their reach and potentially compete for the same customer base.
- The growing trend of eco-conscious consumers might demand sustainable furniture rental practices, like offering upcycled furniture or minimizing waste. Companies that can cater to this preference will attract environmentally conscious renters.
- The Home Furniture Rental industry serves less-affluent, employed customers. These are people who need more credit and income to make large discretionary purchases like new sofas.
- Companies with open showrooms will have an advantage over those with closed galleries. Consumers like to compare furniture products in person and get a feel for their size and comfort levels.
