Future Industry Trends

According to the 2026 report of the China Furniture Association, the global custom hotel furniture market is expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate of 7.2% from 2026 to 2031, driven by the recovery of the global tourism industry and the increasing demand for personalized hotel space design. The core development trends in the next 3-5 years are as follows:
1. Environmental protection upgrade: More and more hotel owners require furniture to meet ENF or CARB P2 environmental standards, and suppliers with low-formaldehyde production processes will have greater competitive advantages.
2. Digital design: VR effect design and CAD internal structure drawing will become standard services, reducing communication costs between suppliers and customers.
3. One-stop service: Suppliers that provide end-to-end services from measurement to after-sales will become the first choice of hotel owners, as they can reduce the coordination cost of multiple suppliers.
