IKEA, DFS, and B&Q Among Leading Retailers in the UK

LONDON, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “United Kingdom (UK) Furniture and Floorcoverings Market Size, Trends, Consumer Attitudes and Key Players, 2021-2025” report offered by GlobalData Plc provides an overview of the key findings relating to the UK furniture & floorcoverings. The report aids in gaining a better understanding of the UK furniture and floorcoverings market growth for each type of product including dining room furniture, bathroom furniture, carpet, and tiles. It also sheds light on the growth of the online furniture & floorcoverings market and how online pure-plays and store investment are driving this shift to online.

The UK furniture market was valued at GBP10.3 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4{7e5ff73c23cd1cd7ac587f9048f78b3ced175b09520fe5fee10055eb3132dce7} from 2020 to 2025. Also, the UK floorcoverings market was valued at GBP1.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4{7e5ff73c23cd1cd7ac587f9048f78b3ced175b09520fe5fee10055eb3132dce7} during 2020-2025. Furniture in 2020, as with all retail, was defined by the pandemic as the resilient conditions in early 2020 which were cut short by the spring lockdown. However, once stores reopened, pent-up demand from cash-rich consumers was released with DFS, and B&Q reporting surges in orders, as money set aside for foreign travel was instead invested in homes.

UK Furniture and Floorcoverings Market – Competitive Landscape

• IKEA: The home specialist increased its sustainability credentials this year; it now sells spare parts for its furniture, and it launched a ‘buy back’ scheme where customers can sell their old furniture back to the retailer for an IKEA voucher. This will increase customer perceptions about its environmental position and encourage repeat visits to the retailer.
• DFS: DFS’ ongoing investment in product innovation and online has allowed it to surge ahead of struggling competitors. It has added more models to its augmented reality tool and improved visual search. The sofa specialist is advancing online further by trialing video-in-store at several locations, with customers able to see products in a showroom setting and ask staff for advice.
• B&Q: B&Q gained momentum in kitchen furniture in 2020 thanks to the roll out of new ranges, which allowed it to capitalize on elevated consumer demand after the spring lockdown. The DIY specialist highlighted that its kitchen category performed particularly well and now also offers a kitchen installation service.
• Carpetright: 2020 was a largely successful year for Carpetright as its high brand awareness, interest free credit offer and wider range enabled it to ride the wave of pent-up demand from the lockdown and gain share. The retailer has turned to online through the lockdown, by offering video calls with staff and launching a visualizer which enables customers to see how a floor looks in a particular room.
• Argos: Argos was well positioned to benefit from the turbulence of 2020. Argos’ stores remained open only for click & collect services during the lockdowns. Its ability to facilitate click & collect orders, alongside its key markets of home, electronics, and toys being performing well during the pandemic, supported its increase in sales.
