Vente-unique.com, an online furniture retailer in Europe, reflected on its achievements during the 2023-2024 financial year while looking ahead with optimism. Despite the challenging economic landscape affecting the furniture market, the company reported robust sales performance, with a 17.7% increase in gross merchandise volume, reaching €172.6 million in the first nine months.

The financial year also saw the revival of the Habitat brand's online operations, which resumed in spring 2024. A gradual relaunch of Habitat's new collection is planned through the end of the year, aiming to reconnect with customers by offering accessible premium items. This expansion will leverage Vente-unique.com's strengths in supply chain management, digital marketing, and customer service, with further growth anticipated throughout 2025.
To enhance its operational capacity, Vente-unique.com also announced the acquisition of a second logistics platform in Montbeugny, covering 62,000 m². This new facility, set to be operational by autumn 2025, will double the company's logistics capacity by 2026, supporting its sustained growth in France and Europe. The new site will also enable Vente-unique.com to provide logistics services to third-party sellers in the home furnishings sector.
Overall, Vente-unique.com is confident in its growth trajectory, with plans for increased marketplace commissions, logistics services, and retail media initiatives set to launch in 2025. The company is well-positioned to continue its upward momentum and achieve its ambitious goals in the coming years.
