housing-sensitive furniture demand market with significant reliance on imported supply. The consumer market is expanding, supported by a slight annual increase, while retail turnover is softening, reflecting a -3.9% decline over the past six months. This divergence suggests that while consumer spending remains resilient, retail activity is facing headwinds, potentially influenced by fluctuating consumer confidence, which, despite recent recovery, remains negative. The housing market activity index indicates a below-baseline status, suggesting that housing conditions are not yet fully supportive of robust furniture demand [1]. Retail 6-month momentum is -3.9% year over year, supporting a soft near-term demand read. [2] The interplay between domestic production and imports is critical in shaping market dynamics. With nearly half of the furniture consumed in Ireland being imported, the medium dependence on foreign supply underscores the importance of trade conditions. Production turnover is under pressure, mirroring the retail sector's challenges, while producer prices are experiencing moderate pressure.
