The educational furniture and furnishings market is estimated to be worth around Ł400 million at manufacturers’ prices. The market has experienced a good level of growth over the last 10 years, driven by increased public and private funding in the education sector.

Areas of Particular Interest:

The impact of the various capital programmes in the education sector on the growth of the educational furniture and furnishings market. The Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme in particular aims to rebuild or refurbish a high number of primary and secondary schools in the UK and is likely to support growth in the longer term.
The value growth of the overall market has also been influenced by significant product improvements and developments. In the furniture sector, there has been an emphasis on aesthetics, adjustability and durability, whilst in the furnishings sector, lifecycle costing and ease of maintenance have remained key requirements.
