• Owing to the increasing demand for furniture in the country, companies in India are also expanding their presence in the furniture market, which is likely to drive the demand for the market studied. For instance:
• In January 2022, WoodenStreet, a furniture startup, announced to invest INR 50 crore (~USD 6.7 million) in 2022 to double its on-ground presence from 45 to 100 stores across the country.
• Moreover, the company is likely to introduce new products, ranging from smart office furniture to modular kitchen solutions, which can act as potential growth factors in the industrial wood coating market of the country.
