Imports and exports of furniture are analysed as well as furniture distribution systems and furniture prices. Data on furniture producers and distributors are provided for both countries. Furniture production is broken down by product (kitchen furniture, bedrooms, other home furniture, office furniture, contract furniture) and by state. Data on the most representative Australian and New Zealand furniture manufacturers are available (turnover, employees, segment of activity). Furniture consumption is broken down by product (bedrooms, dining rooms, garden furniture, other home furniture) and by state. A profile of the furniture consumer is outlined for both the Australian and the New Zealand market.

Furniture exports and imports are broken down by country and product (office furniture, kitchen furniture, upholstered furniture, bedroom furniture, living room furniture, non-upholstered seats, seats parts, other furniture, furniture parts) for both countries.
