Tariffs dominated discussions in the first half of 2025, yet total US household furniture imports fell 3% year-on-year to $12.238 billion, rather than surge ahead of potential levies. Wood products such as bedroom furniture, beds and dining tables saw modest gains, while some upholstery categories declined.

Mexico and Canada also experienced declines, down 13% and 11% respectively, with Indonesia and India seeing smaller drops. Cambodia emerged as the fastest-growing exporter, with imports rising 42% to $254.6 million. Malaysia and Thailand also recorded moderate growth.
Top US import categories included miscellaneous wood furniture, which accounted for $2.6 billion despite a 6% drop, and wood bedroom furniture, the fastest-growing segment at 9%.
US exports of household furniture fell 6% to $1.148 billion. Canada remained the largest market, though shipments fell 10%, while Mexico, Saudi Arabia and France recorded increases. Miscellaneous wood furniture led exports, with bedroom furniture showing strong demand. Mattresses saw the steepest decline, down 27% in the six-month period.
The data highlight the ongoing impact of tariff uncertainty and shifting trade patterns on the US furniture market.
