Roche Bobois leads a fragmented luxury furniture market

The Business Research Company’s 2026 report says Roche Bobois held the top global share in luxury furniture sales in 2024, while the broader market stayed highly fragmented. The findings point to a sector where customization, premium materials and design partnerships are the main battlegrounds for growth.

Why it matters: - Luxury furniture competition is being shaped by customization, craftsmanship and premium material sourcing, not scale alone. - The market remains fragmented, so design-led brands and niche players still have room to win share. - The report says the sector’s growth is tied to demand for high-end residential, hospitality and commercial interiors.
