This report from Business and Research Associates provides a collection of statistical data and forecasts on the dning and living room furniture (cabinets and occasional furniture) market in Britain. It contains information on the value of manufacturers' deliveries for all sectors of this segment. The report also covers distribution channels, advertising and trade exhibitions. Major important manufacturers are profiled.

Whilst the market has shown steady growth in recent years, most of these extra sales have been taken by imports, particularly from Malaysia, China ,Italy , and Denmark. Imports account now for over 50% of the market. The Silentnight Group (with brands Homeworthy, Silentnight, Ducal, Stag, and Nathan) is the leading supplier but the rest of the market remains very fragmented.
