Manufacture of furniture

NACE v2.0 Code: C31

About manufacture of furniture

NACE code 31 covers the manufacture of furniture, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the global economy. Furniture production encompasses a wide range of products, from household items like beds, tables, and chairs to specialized furniture for offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. This industry is a significant contributor to employment and economic growth, with its output serving both domestic and international markets.

Production process

The manufacture of furniture typically involves a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing techniques. Depending on the specific product, the production process may include woodworking, metalworking, upholstery, and various finishing processes. Furniture makers often utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software and computer numerical control (CNC) machinery to streamline the production and ensure consistent quality.

Production inputs

The furniture manufacturing industry relies on a variety of raw materials, including wood, metal, plastics, fabrics, and various adhesives and finishes. Manufacturers may source these materials from 16 Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials, 22 Manufacture of rubber and plastic products, and 13 Manufacture of textiles industries, among others. In addition to these raw materials, the industry requires specialized machinery, tools, and skilled labor to transform these inputs into finished furniture products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the furniture manufacturing industry are a diverse range of furniture items, such as chairs, tables, beds, sofas, and office desks. These products are then consumed by various other NACE codes, including 47 Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, 68 Real estate activities, and 86 Human health activities, as they furnish residential, commercial, and institutional spaces.
