Mattress supports market in Austria

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, the market value of mattress supports in Austria saw gradual growth from $19.1 million to $20.3 million. In 2018, Optimo opened a new mattress production facility in Braunau, expanding manufacturing capacity and introducing ergonomic innovations alongside CO2-neutral production, which bolstered domestic supply. The market remained stable at $19.0 million in 2019, then increased by 6% to $20.2 million in 2020, and edged up slightly to $20.3 million in 2021.

Market growth accelerated from 2022, driven by new market entrants and product innovations. The founding of the Vienna-based startup MATR in 2022, offering sustainable mattresses with full end-of-life takeback and recycling, stimulated demand, contributing to a rise in market value to $21.2 million. In 2023, the launch of innovative premium mattresses with enhanced sleep features and partnerships for remotely controlled bedding products fueled a significant 14% surge to $24.1 million. However, in 2024, market consolidation and revenue declines among mattress manufacturers in Germany, impacting neighboring markets, led to a 10% drop to $21.7 million, despite further capacity expansions by Optimo and growing consumer interest in sustainable materials.
