Also, recycled materials are present in many sustainable home decor products.
Market Drivers and Trends
Increasing levels of urbanization have resulted in an increasing number of new households being set up. Nowadays, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas. Going forward, these levels are expected to increase further, positively impacting the demand for home decor products. Moreover, home decor products are income elastic, with global disposable incomes increasing continuously over the next few years, particularly in economies such as Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. In addition, the recovery of the global real estate sector is also expected to drive homeownership rates creating a positive impact on this market. Another major factor driving this market is the strong performance of the online retail sector. Online retail has made home decor products easily available, affordable, and convenient to buy. Thus, factors such as increasing levels of urbanization, rising consumer disposable income, and strong performance of the online retail sector are boosting the growth of sustainable home decor market.
Market Restraints and Challenges
The growth of digital channels facilitating the sale and purchase of consumer goods has fuelled a surge in the trade of counterfeit products. It’s a fact that a counterfeit product equals a low-quality. The packaging and the product might look identical to the authentic brand, but it is made up of substandard material, which might harm the consumer. Inevitably, these consequences severely negatively impact a brand’s reputation and consumer trust. Since many consumers are unaware that the product they purchased is counterfeit, the customer will blame the authentic brand when the item fails to work correctly or doesn’t meet their expectations. This results in the loss of consumer trust in the brand and also likely that they won’t purchase from the same retailer in the future. Further, there is also a business threat of counterfeit products, resulting in a loss of revenue for the brand being copied. When counterfeiters sell a product that looks the same as the original but at a lower price, the authentic brand will lose sales. The lack of information is perceived as one of the main obstacles in the fight against counterfeit products. Hence, the availability of counterfeit goods is acting as a restraining factor for the global sustainable home decor market.
