• At €2.88 billion, household furniture accounted for 69% of total turnover. Kitchen furniture, meanwhile, represented 18%.

• The sector will continue to grow in the short and medium term, although it will lose momentum amid household spending restraint and higher financing costs.

• INFORMA's DBK Sectoral Observatory recently published these insights in the 'Furniture Retailing' Sectoral Report.

Madrid, 10 September 2026.- According to INFORMA's (Cesce's subsidiary) DBK Sectoral Observatory—a leading provider of business, financial, sectoral, and marketing information in Spain and Portugal—companies engaged in furniture retailing in Spain generated revenue of €4.16 billion in 2025, representing growth of 3.1% year-over-year, following the moderate 1.5% rise posted in 2024.

The positive performance of the real estate market, buoyant demand linked to renovations and the outfitting of second homes, together with increased investment in collective-use spaces, underpinned this trend.

By segment, retail sales of household furniture reached €2.88 billion that year, accounting for 69% of the market's total value and rising 2.9% from 2024. The favourable evolution of the residential market and renovations supported growth in this segment.

Meanwhile, the kitchen furniture market represented 17.9% of the total, worth €745 million, up 3.5%; while revenue in the office furniture segment grew 4.3%, reaching €365 million (8.8% of the total).

Specialised retailing is estimated to have accounted for 87% of retail furniture sales in 2025, with the remainder split between hypermarkets, department stores and DIY retailers. As for online channel penetration, it is estimated to currently exceed 23% of sales value, including furniture, lighting and household goods. 

Turnover in furniture retailing will maintain an upward trend in the short and medium term, albeit at a slower pace than in recent years, amid greater restraint in household spending and higher financing costs.

By mid-2026, there were about 5,450 active companies engaged in the retail sale of furniture, lighting equipment, tableware and other household articles in specialised shops. The expansion of large chains, both branch-based and franchised, continued, alongside purchasing groups operating under a common brand. The combined market share of the top five operators exceeded 49% in 2025.
