Wooden kitchen furniture market in Albania

Earlier Report Observations

Over the period from 2018 to 2024, the Albanian market for wooden kitchen furniture experienced a downward trend in its later years. The market volume reached 18 484 thousand US dollars in 2022, then declined to 17 540 thousand US dollars in 2023, a decrease of 5.1%.

A sharp contraction followed in 2024, with the market size falling to 12 112 thousand US dollars, a drop of 30.9% from the previous year. This significant decline was driven by rising housing prices and increased taxes within the construction sector, which dampened demand for new furniture. Concurrently, the end of 2024 saw the adoption of new national legislation aligning with EU labeling and eco-design rules, alongside measures to simplify administrative and inspection procedures for businesses.
