Therefore, any measure reported by ACS should not be taken as an exact number – this is why a corresponding margin of error (MOE) is also given for ACS measures. The size of the MOE relative to its corresponding estimate value provides an indication of confidence in the accuracy of each estimate. Each MOE is expressed in the same units as its corresponding measure; for example, if the estimate value is expressed as a number, then its MOE will also be a number; if the estimate value is expressed as a percent, then its MOE will also be a percent. The user should also note that for relatively small geographic areas, such as census tracts shown here, ACS only releases combined 5-year estimates, meaning these estimates represent rolling averages of survey results that were collected over a 5-year span (in this case 2015-2019). Therefore, these data do not represent any one specific point in time or even one specific year. For geographic areas with larger populations, 3-year and 1-year estimates are also available.

Increased regulation, construction costs, and resource availability were the main real estate related concerns among industry experts in Europe according to a 2024 survey. Construction costs have been on the rise since the coronavirus pandemic because of the high demand and inflation. About 70 percent of respondents feared that the escalating costs and resource availability will continue to be an issue in the next year. Investment and development prospects in Europe According to the survey, London was the European city with the highest real estate investment and development prospects, followed by Madrid and Paris in 2025. To calculate the scoring, the source considered the following factors: transport connectivity, forecast real estate returns, city’s economic performance, availability of assets/opportunities for new development, market size and liquidity, regulatory environment, digital connectivity, attractiveness to talent, city leadership, housing affordability, affordability of space for new/small/growing businesses. Investments and return In 2024, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France were the top three countries in Europe by total value of commercial real estate investment. In terms of profitability, the industrial and retail warehousing real estate sectors in the UK are estimated to bring the highest returns in the next five years.

This project will explore the impact of the economic recession on cities and households through a systematic comparison of the experiences of two English cities, Bristol and Liverpool.The research will use both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Interviews will be held in both cities with stakeholders from across the public, private and voluntary and community sectors. A social survey of 1000 households will also be conducted in the two cities covering 10 specific household types. A series of in-depth qualitative interviews will then be held with households drawn from the survey and chosen to illustrate the spectrum of experience.In the context of globalisation and the rescaling of cities and states, the research aims to develop our understanding of the relationship between economic crisis, global connectivity and the transnational processes shaping cities and the everyday lives of residents. It will explore the 'capillary-like' impact of the crisis and austerity measures on local economic development, and local labour and housing markets, as well as highlight the intersecting realities of everyday life for households across the life course.The research will document the responses and coping strategies developed across different household types and evaluate the impact and effectiveness of 'anti-recession' strategies and policies.

Market Dynamics of Home Furniture Market

Key Drivers for Home Furniture Market

Increasing the Use of Biodegradable and Compostable Materials to Boost Market Growth

The global real estate market is experiencing growth, with many governments promoting affordable housing initiatives and private developers launching new residential projects. This has led to a rise in demand for home furniture to furnish these new homes. According to the National Association of REALTORS, 4.09 million existing homes were sold in 2023. In May 2024, new single-family home sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 619,000, as the U.S. Census Bureau reported. The Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances indicated that 66.1% of families owned their primary residence. Additionally, over 360,000 real estate brokerage firms are operating in the U.S. The booming rental housing market, particularly in metropolitan areas, is also driving demand, with renters seeking affordable, durable, and easily transportable furniture to furnish temporary homes, boosting sales in certain home furniture categories.

Increased Consumer Spending and Urbanization to Drive Market Growth

As disposable incomes rise, particularly in emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil, consumers increasingly invest in high-quality home furniture. This shift is motivated by the desire to improve living conditions, aesthetics, and comfort. The trend of rapid urbanization is also driving demand for modern homes, which in turn fuels the need for contemporary furniture. People relocating to urban areas are more likely to furnish their homes according to modern styles. Globally, a growing portion of the population resides in cities. In 2012, 52.5% of the population lived in urban areas, and by 2022, this was projected to rise to 56.9%. The urban population share is generally higher in developed regions (79.7% in 2022) than in developing ones (52.3%). In least-developed countries (LDCs), urban residents remain the minority at 35.8%. In the U.S., among cities with populations of 1 million or more, Austin, TX, saw the fastest growth at 32.8%, followed by Raleigh, NC, at 25.1%, and Orlando, FL, at 22.7%. Austin, TX, also led in land conversion from rural to urban, with an 18.5% increase.

Restraint Factor for the Home Furniture Market

Fluctuating Raw Material Prices, will Limit Market Growth

The cost of key raw materials like wood, metal, foam, and fabrics is often highly volatile, directly affecting production costs for manufacturers. This can lead to higher prices for consumers, which may dampen demand. As the furniture market is global, with manufacturers sourcing materials and shipping products internationally, rising freight and shipping costs can significantly impact pricing—particularly for large, bulky items like sofas, beds, and dining tables, where transportation forms a major part of the overall cost structure. Additionally, the furniture manufacturing industry in developed countries faces labor shortages due to an aging workforce and rising wages. These labor challenges drive up production costs, especially in regions with high labor expenses like the U.S., Canada, a...

As of September 2024, Mumbai had the highest cost of living among other cities in the country, with an index value of ****. Gurgaon, a satellite city of Delhi and part of the National Capital Region (NCR) followed it with an index value of ****.  What is cost of living? The cost of living varies depending on geographical regions and factors that affect the cost of living in an area include housing, food, utilities, clothing, childcare, and fuel among others. The cost of living is calculated based on different measures such as the consumer price index (CPI), living cost indexes, and wage price index. CPI refers to the change in the value of consumer goods and services. The wage price index, on the other hand, measures the change in labor services prices due to market pressures. Lastly, the living cost indexes calculate the impact of changing costs on different households. The relationship between wages and costs determines affordability and shifts in the cost of living. Mumbai tops the list Mumbai usually tops the list of most expensive cities in India. As the financial and entertainment hub of the country, Mumbai offers wide opportunities and attracts talent from all over the country. It is the second-largest city in India and has one of the most expensive real estates in the world.
