Mattress supports market in Germany

Earlier Report Observations

The German mattress supports market experienced fluctuations between 2018 and 2021. Starting at US$160.0 million in 2018, it contracted to US$144.6 million the following year amid intense competitive pressure, notably from the influence of consumer testing organization Stiftung Warentest, whose unfavorable reviews hampered business for some manufacturers and traditional retailers. The market then recovered over the next two years, reaching a peak of US$177.8 million in 2021.

After a dip in 2022, market volume stabilized near US$159.2 million in 2023 as growing imports and the introduction of augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence began shaping consumer preferences. However, in 2024, widespread consumer caution led to a sharp decline, with market size falling to US$140.3 million, accompanied by a consolidation phase featuring increased corporate insolvencies within the industry.
