Hinges for furniture and doors market in the Netherlands

Earlier Report Observations

The market for furniture hinges in the Netherlands contracted from a size of 63 542 thousand US dollars in 2018 to 57 778 thousand US dollars in 2024, with the lowest point reached in 2023 at 55 618 thousand US dollars. This overall decline reflected a significant shift in the market's structure over the period.

Domestic production fell dramatically, dropping from 18 163 thousand US dollars in 2019 to just 6 007 thousand US dollars in 2024. This sharp reduction in local output was accompanied by a steady rise in imports, which grew from 78 727 thousand US dollars to 97 726 thousand US dollars, and an increase in exports, particularly after 2020.

The market's total volume was stabilized after 2021 by the substantial growth in imported hinges, which compensated for the dwindling domestic production. Consequently, the market became increasingly reliant on foreign supply while maintaining a smaller overall size.
