Growing commercial infrastructural facilities, including schools, hospitality settings, and offices, preferring compact-sized, foldable, and lightweight plastic-based chairs, tables, and cabinets, accelerate market growth.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Production of Recycled Material-based Plastic Furniture to Contribute Toward Sustainable Market Development 

Consistent manufacturers’ production of recycled or biodegradable materials in home utilities positively contribute toward the sustainability development of the global market during the forecast period of 2025-2032. In addition, consistent manufacturers’ partnerships with plastic waste recycling companies to procure the required volume of plastic waste and produce recycled plastic furniture products create newer market growth avenues.

• For instance, in August 2024, Tesco Plc., a supermarket retailing company, established a partnership with Veolia, a utility product manufacturer, to collect & recycle Tesco customers’ plastics, including bread bags, yogurt tops, and others, into decks, tables, benches, and raised beds.
