Singapore has grown successfully in the past years and is now a successful business center in the international arena. Singapore continued to make progress in developing its external economy and ranked as a major investor in the South East Asian region. The Singapore Furniture Industries Council is the representative body of Singapore furniture industry. Singapore government is actively promoting the interest of the Republic's furniture manufacturers and exports.

The Singapore furniture industry can be divided into two broad categories: residential furniture and office furniture. Local made furniture makes 20% of the total furniture market and the rest of 80% is imported. In 1998 the top supplying countries were Malaysia, Italy, USA, China and Japan, and Italy remained the second largest supplier of furniture to Singapore.
