The Great Demand in Office Furniture


Examining the American Demand for Office Furniture

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c91408) has announced the addition of American Demand for Office Furniture to their offering.


This reference work provides an in-depth analysis of the American office furniture market. We distinguish between numerous product categories, including wooden furniture, metal furniture, chairs, ergonomic products, furniture systems, space dividers, and more. Corporate clients are segregated and analyzed according to geographic location, their industry affiliation and size, as well as the occupation, sex and age of the end-users. The study deals with new trends and the changing environment in modern offices. Forecasts are provided to 2010. A full index is provided for easy referencing.

The office furniture industry performed very well throughout the 1990s as the domestic economy has shifted from being manufacturing driven to one where services play an increasingly important role.

However, the new millennium has been less fortunate for office furniture manufacturers. Between 2000 and 2003, office furniture shipments in the United States fell by more than one-third. This was the largest decrease in shipments for over 20 years. The market has since recovered a bit reaching a value of $11,420 million in 2007.

Office employment growth climbed by 1.2% in 2007. This year may see an even smaller increase of only 1.0%. However, we anticipate a modest acceleration to 1.7% next year and 1.9% in 2010.

Office furniture purchases advanced by 5.5% in 2007. Sales are expected to accelerate to 6.8% this year. This is surprising in light of the dire economic circumstances in the USA and can only be explained by pre-committed orders to fill newly constructed office space that will reach completion this year. The moment of truth will come in 2009 and 2010. Growth for office furniture shipments for the next two years will be in the 2.2 to 2.7% range. If our predictions are correct, the market value will reach $ 12.8 billion in 2010. This is still 3.6% lower than the previous peak of $13.3 billion reached in 2000.

Wood office furniture accounted for $3,106 million or 27.2% in 2007. During the past ten years it fluctuated between 21.9% and 27.2%. Given the more expensive nature of wooden furniture it generally gains market share when corporate earnings are strong rather than during periods of fiscal constraint.

Systems represents the largest market segment with a share of almost 1/3. Surprisingly, over the period 1997 to 2007 this segment declined by 14.6%. Filing cabinets also fell as technology continues to reduce the demand for paper storage The fastest growing segment was storage furniture, which increased 37.3% over the last 10 years. Seating, desks and tables, also outpaced the overall office furniture industry.

California is by far the largest furniture market in the USA. As of 2007, this state accounted for $1,359 million, followed by Texas, New York, and Florida. These four states account for $3,612 million -- or almost one-third -- of the US market.

Contemporary Office Furniture @ AceOfficeSystems

Are you a business owner or are you in charge of purchasing supplies for your company? If so, there is a good chance that the supplies you need to purchase will include office furniture.

Where do you currently purchase your office furniture from? If you are like many other business owners, there is a good chance that you may make your purchases from a large, nationally known office supply store chain. Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing so, but you may want to rethink your decision. After all, there are a number of benefits to purchasing your office furniture from Ace Office Systems Furniture; the online Office Furniture Superstore catering to all your Home and Bussiness Office needs.

When it comes to purchasing office furniture, a large number of individuals search for contemporary office furniture. Contemporary is another word that is used describe modern. In this case, you may be searching for new, updated, and modern office furniture. Despite what you may believe or assume, a large number of small office furniture supply stores do carry contemporary office furniture. In fact, the selection of contemporary office furniture you have to choose from may even be more than you could have ever imagined.

As it was stated above, there are a number of benefits to purchasing your supplies from an office furniture supply store that is often considered a small business. One of those benefits is quality. Small business owners are often noted as giving their business and the products or services that they sell more attention, when compared to larger businesses or corporations. For you, this means that you are almost always guaranteed a quality product. Whether you are looking for an office desk or leather office chair, the piece of furniture in question was likely recommended by the very friendly customer service rep of the online office furniture supply store.

In addition to quality products, there are a number of other benefits to purchasing your contemporary office furniture from a business that is often referred to as an online business. Another one of those benefits is service. Although most large businesses or corporations do have a customer service department, that customer service department is often made up of a large group of individuals; individuals who may be unfamiliar with the products or services that are being sold. When it comes to a small business, this same problem is often non-existent. With small businesses, you will find that they employee less individuals than most nationally run companies. This means that, when contacting a small office furniture supply store, there is a good chance that you may end up speaking with the same employee on multiple occasions. This may help to ease your fears of doing business with a new company and it also helps you to develop a business relationship with the company or employee in question.

In conjunction with the above mentioned service, you are also likely to receive more assistance when purchasing your contemporary office furniture from a small office furniture supply store. This assistance not only includes taking or verifying your order, but it may also include helping you choose the perfect pieces of contemporary office furniture for your office and your needs. For instance, do you or any of your employees have back problems? If so and you are looking to purchase a leather office chair, you may be wondering what type of leather office chair could help to combat your back problem or the other medical problems of your employees. Small business owners and employees are more likely to extend their assistance or professional advice than larger, national office furniture supply stores.

When it comes to purchasing contemporary office furniture for your office, the decision as to where you want to purchase your office furniture from is yours to make. However, as it was mentioned above, there are a number of benefits to doing business with a small business. If you are a small business owner, yourself, you may have a better understanding of these benefits. To purchase contemporary office furniture, such as a nice leather office chair, from a relatively small, but reliable office supply store, you are urged to examine www.aceofficesystems.com. With a large selection of products and a trustworthy staff, you are sure to find all of the office furniture supplies that you need, all in one place.

New life to old furniture




Stacked inside a dimly-lit 40,000-square-foot warehouse at the Port of Stockton are cubicles, conference tables and cushy swivel chairs collected from hundreds of office buildings up and down the West Coast.

Their owners are long gone. Maybe they moved to another office. Maybe, in these hard economic times, they lost their jobs.

Whatever the story, furniture liquidator Bill Leach is there to clean up their offices after they leave. And he may be helping to clean up the Earth in the process.

NEW OR USED

Need a new look at home, but don't want to buy new furniture? Here are some ideas, courtesy of

• Fresh new look

Add slipcovers made of organic cotton to chairs and sofas to give them new life.

• Grab a brush

Paint your dark furniture white, or add shuttered doors to bookshelves.

• Skip the trends

Avoid trendy pieces that might look dated within a few years; stick with classic designs.

Giving old furniture new life is yet another way to go green, whether it's at work or at home. Leach has been in the furniture liquidation business for 15 years but only recently began touting environmental benefits.

After all, green is in.

"We first did it because it was so cost-effective," said Leach, a Lodi resident and owner of Quality Office Liquidations. "Now there's a lot of buzz, a lot of talk about the Earth, and we really are green."

More businesses are looking for a environmental angle, as evidenced by the growth of Green Team San Joaquin. The group, organized by the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce, has attracted interest from more than 550 businesses and has been touted as a possible example for other counties.

Much of the furniture Leach purchases is sold to companies that spruce it up and resell it. Other pieces he sells directly to individuals or local businesses.

There's no lack of selection. Leach has cleared out entire floors of San Francisco high-rise buildings, although only about 20 percent of the furniture comes here to his Stockton warehouse.

Ultimately just 2 percent goes to the dump because it can't be sold.

"We try to keep as much as we can out of the landfill," Leach said.

The Office Furniture Recyclers Forum estimates that for every pound of wood or other materials needed to restore used furniture, another 5 to 9 pounds are conserved. Office furniture remanufacturing emerged during the 1980s and is now a $1.2 billion industry nationwide.

While Leach's angle is toward office furniture, the conservation-conscious can apply it to their own homes by getting the most life out of their own furniture before buying new.

"People are more aware of it than ever," said Sally Wooden, a spokeswoman for Goodwill Industries in Stockton, which sells used furniture that is in good condition.

"It's reuse and recycle," she said.

N.H. Senate votes for kindergarten delay in 11 districts

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - The state Senate voted Thursday to give 11 school districts an extra year to start kindergarten programs they now must have in place by fall and to give them a choice of aid programs to build classrooms for the programs.The Legislature included public kindergarten as a requirement for all schools in the definition of an adequate education adopted last year. The law gives the 11 districts without kindergarten until September 2008 to offer programs, but the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Costing an Adequate Education recommended giving them an extra year.Districts seeking the extra year would have to provide a detailed plan to the state to ensure they will have kindergarten programs ready for fall 2009.The state had estimated it would cost at least $20 million for portables, furniture, fixtures and new classroom construction. Senate President Sylvia Larsen said a kindergarten aid program has $1.7 million in it to go toward the costs.The 11 districts that don't have public kindergarten are Hudson, Litchfield, Lyndeborough, Mascenic, Milford, Pelham, Auburn, Chester, Derry, Salem and Windham.The bill includes money for temporary classrooms, furniture and fixtures for three years. Towns also would get state aid for each kindergarten pupil.Districts will have the option of getting 75 percent of the cost to build the classrooms of the their choice or 100 percent of a basic building or addition that meets minimum standards. The state Department of Education would set the specifications for the basic building.Senators said that avoided triggering a constitutional prohibition against mandating new programs onto communities without paying for them.Districts would have the same aid options if the use of existing classroom space for kindergarten requires shifting older students to new or renovated classrooms.

Squeeze on Preston Office Space Saves Millions

Media-Newswire.com - A MAJOR shake-up of office space used by Lancashire County Council is saving millions on administration costs. A revolution in working practices and a fast and flexible approach to managing property has reduced the amount of accommodation needed, with many offices being vacated. Over £2m has already been achieved from the sale of property and leases in Preston alone. The money has been reinvested to protect and improve frontline services. City centre buildings on Fishergate, Cross Street and Winckley Square as well as offices on Navigation Way are amongst those no longer in use. The ongoing review has seen staff relocate to existing sites including County Hall and East Cliff near Avenham Park. Space is being created thanks to new working practices, with more people working from home or sharing desks if their job is not always office-based. Other measures include the introduction of smaller desks for more efficient use of space. County Councillor Anne Brown, Cabinet member for Resources and Performance, said: “We work hard to get the best value for money from all our resources and this includes looking at how much accommodation we need for staff. “Better technology has led to our staff being able to work in a more flexible way and we are taking advantage of this by cutting back on the number of offices we own and lease.” Employees moved into County Hall during the review include Corporate Human Resources and Youth and Community teams previously in offices on Fishergate and Environment staff are transferring from buildings in Cross Street. Leases on eight premises have already been assigned to new tenants or ended. One property owned outright by the county council – the former Westleigh Emergency Planning headquarters at Lea – has also been sold. Emergency Planning is now based at the Red Rose Hub. County Councillor Brown added: “This year we have been awarded top marks in a government inspection of our use of resources. This has been achieved by making sure we focus all our efforts on improving frontline services and reducing costs elsewhere.” The review of accommodation in Preston is part of a wider review of offices across Lancashire. By 2009/10 the authority expects to have vacated 3,134 square metres of leased office space, achieving savings approaching £400,000 every year.
