Italy is Europe's top producer of furniture and the third largest furniture consumer behind Germany and the United Kingdom. Although in recent years Italian exports to other European countries have been decreasing, Italy still has the largest quota of total furniture exports.

Germany which produces furniture both for the domestic and export markets, is showing growth. The main reason for this was the positive trend of furniture exports.
