The beds, cots, & cribs segment led in terms of market share in 2020 and is expected to retain its dominance during the forecast period.
Children furniture is made exclusively for young kids and babies. They are much smaller in size than regular furniture. These furniture pieces are primarily made from wood, but can also be made from polymer and metal. They can also be fixed or portable. They are designed to meet the ergonomic needs of the child at different stages of their development. Easy cleaning, low maintenance, blunt edges are some of the characteristics of children furniture.
Over three-fourth of the global population lives in the developing world, though birthrates across all regions have steadily reduced but still remain the highest in developing countries, such as India and China, according to the World Bank. In addition, growing middle class population, rising female participation rate in the labor force, and rapid urbanization in both developed and emerging markets have bolstered the rapid adoption of convenience-oriented lifestyles, resulting in increased demand for children related product accessories, including children furniture, thus increasing the demand for children furniture. In addition, recently, the Chinese government announced three-child policy, allowing all couples to have three kids to address the challenge of an aging population. Thus, the number of children is expected to increase in the upcoming years, thus positively impacting the market growth.
