While much of Europe is experiencing a complex and cautious environment, Spain's home furniture market continues its steady climb. Since 2019, total consumption has grown at an average rate of nearly +5% per year, and the outlook remains comparatively strong, outperforming the broader European average. This is written by Giulia Taveggia, Partner and Senior Researcher at the Italian research institute CSIL.
'But beyond the macro picture, the real story is in the retail dynamics:
- The urban shift: IKEA is closing its Las Rozas urban store in March 2026, yet pivoting toward new urban formats and proximity solutions, repositioning rather than retreating, with a new Girona format and additional pick-up solutions.
- Design-led momentum: Kave Home continues expanding with compact, style-driven urban formats, gaining visibility and market share.
- Expansion: Major players such as Maisons du Monde and Leroy Merlin are reinforcing their physical presence with new openings and large-scale formats.
- Fashion meets furniture: Mango Home is opening its first-ever stand-alone store worldwide in Barcelona, signaling long-term ambition in the category.'
