Abstract
Summary: a brief statement of the content of the report
The contract furniture and furnishings market in Saudi Arabia is estimated
around US$ 744 million (comprising lighting fixtures). Local governmentaland
foreign investments have been the main drivers of this performance. The
manufacturing of classic wooden furniture claims the lion' s share, but the
presence of steel and metal items is also increasing in the market.
The report analyses the production (breakdown by segment), consumption and
trade in the contract furniture market. Information about operators,
distribution channels, delivery time and prices are also available. The study
considers the impact of the financial crisis, with highlights about the future
prospects.
The contract furniture demand in the country is analysed and differentiated by
major sectors: hotels, restaurants, airports, banks and public offices,
education and retail.
Short profiles of the leading Saudi and foreign manufacturers are provided,
with figures about sales and employees when available.
Two appendices of traders and architects/ contractors are included, containing
contact details and activity specifications. Additional information (traded
brands, showrooms, turnover, employees) is reported if available.
The research is the result of direct interviews with 40 Saudi operators,
official statistics and other official sources.
