Mattress supports market in Croatia

Earlier Report Observations

The market for mattress supports in Croatia showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2024. After a gradual decline from 70 383 thousand USD in 2018 to 66 408 thousand USD in 2020, market size surged by 33% to 88 601 thousand USD in 2021. This peak was followed by a steady contraction over the next three years, with the market falling to 54 322 thousand USD by 2024.

The subsequent decline accelerated in 2024, when demographic factors such as an aging population and outmigration of working-age residents likely reduced overall demand for bedroom furniture. At the same time, the presence of domestic producers like Mistral Madraci Zadar, which emphasizes eco-friendly materials and glue-free assembly, reflected a niche preference within the market. Consumer preferences also shifted toward higher-feature products like memory-foam mattresses and orthopedic zones, influencing the product assortment available.
