Recent Developments
Dec 7, 2022 - Manufacturers Brace for Slower Growth
- Mattress manufacturers are preparing for a slowdown in 2023 as consumers tighten their spending due to inflation and rising interest rates, according to Furniture Today. The Sleep Products Association expects 2023 mattress sales to rise about 1.5% over 2022, in both dollar terms and unit sales. In dollars, mattress sales are forecast to grow to $12.5 billion in 2023 from $12.3 billion in 2022. As bedding executives look to 2023, their top concerns include inflation, consumer confidence, housing starts, and unemployment.
- Building permits, housing starts, and housing completions are indicators of future mattress demand. The number of building permits issued for privately-owned housing units decreased 2.4% month over month and declined 10.1 year over year in October 2022. Housing starts fell 4.2% month over month and decreased 8.8% year over year in October. Housing completions fell 6.4% month over month but rose 6.6% year over year in October.
- Seasonally adjusted retail sales at furniture and home furnishings stores rose 1.1% in October compared to September, according to the US Census Bureau. Unadjusted furniture and home furnishings stores in October were down 0.6% on a year-over-year basis.
- At the recent High Point Market furniture trade show in North Carolina, several mattress vendors highlighted their mid-market products with retail prices between $599 to $999, according to Furniture Today. Amid high inflation and rising interest rates, furniture retailers want more products with a price point between budget mattresses on the low end and the higher-tiered offerings. During the pandemic, some furniture retailers focused on the high and low ends of the pricing spectrum. However, many now view the middle market as the “sweet spot” as price-conscious shoppers look for a high-quality mattress and a mid-level price.
