Furniture & Home Furnishing Business Group

The Dubai Chamber Furniture & Home Furnishing Business Group is a sector-specific business group established under the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in January 2023. As one of four initial business groups launched to support key economic sectors, this group serves furniture manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and home furnishing companies operating in Dubai and the broader UAE market. The group was created as part of Dubai Chambers' strategic initiative to expand sector-specific support, with plans to establish 100 such business groups to strengthen Dubai's diverse economic landscape.

The business group provides a structured platform for furniture and home furnishing sector members to engage in mutual dialogue with government entities, exchange industry knowledge, and collaborate on policy matters affecting domestic and international trade. Members benefit from networking opportunities, policy advocacy, and access to market intelligence that supports business development and expansion strategies. The group addresses the sector's evolving needs, particularly in light of significant market shifts including the 31.3% growth in mattress sales between 2016 and 2021, and the emergence of strong e-commerce channels driven by changing consumer behaviors.

By facilitating cooperation among sector stakeholders, the business group aims to maintain the positive growth trajectory observed post-2021, support members' competitive positioning in regional and international markets, and contribute to Dubai's ongoing mission to create a world-class business environment that attracts investment and drives sustainable economic growth.
