Selling furniture online: a look at the furniture industry

According to research from Ibis World, the Australian furniture industry was worth a whopping $2.9 billion in 2022, and globally it is expected to reach a value of $41 billion in 2023, with a growth rate of 41 per cent.

The furniture industry, and ecommerce in general, has seen a lot of change over the past few years. We have better shipping and logistics infrastructure, increased globalisation, and more access to reliable suppliers and retailers than ever before. Unfortunately, we are also competing against supply chain disruptions, a housing crisis and reduced consumer spending overall. So where does that leave the furniture category? The results may surprise you!

We all need furniture. It doesn't matter who you are or your financial situation, at the end of the day you need a chair to sit on and a bed to sleep in. Additionally, consumers are very invested in having picture-perfect homes with unique furniture products and are willing to look away from big box stores to find them - especially when the price is right. The Opendoor 2022 Decor Report showed that homeowners are regularly looking for easy-to-achieve, budget-friendly options to brighten their decor, with 32 per cent of survey respondents swapping out their home decor at least once a year. One of the most popular ways of doing this included using seasonal decor (53 per cent). Matching furniture sets were considered an easy way to decorate by 77 per cent of respondents, and 48 per cent responded they would prioritise new furniture as a form of 'interior wellness' self-care.

Despite industry challenges, the demand for unique, low-cost furniture pieces is on the rise, and you can be at the forefront with Dropshipzone.

Wholesale vs dropshipping furniture

There are a couple of ways you can sell new furniture online: as a wholesaler, or as a dropshipper.

A furniture wholesaler buys products in high volume from a manufacturer before reselling to retailers or the general public. There are many benefits to the wholesale model. Firstly, you save money by buying in bulk. Suppliers may give you discounts on larger orders, and you save on shipping and handling costs. You can also offer a branded experience, as you have direct control over the fulfilment process. This means a custom unboxing experience, bespoke packaging, and more. Finally, it allows for better control of your product. Since you have to order your products ahead of time, you can review them for defects. The drawback is that you have to pay a lot more upfront for your wholesale stock, wholesale requires a moderate amount of starting capital, and you’ll be responsible for all inventory management and associated costs.

With dropshipping, you don’t have to worry about inventory management, as you only order products as needed. The upfront costs are far smaller when you don’t have to pay for warehouse space and bulk lots of products. While you have less control over logistics and branding, with the right SEO and social media marketing you’ll build a reputation for quality in no time.

Dropshipping furniture: the right pick for you

Furniture items never go out of style. There is a consistent demand for furniture even during an economic downturn. Over the 2020-22 period, spending an increased amount of time at home generated increased interest in interior design which boosted general furniture and home decor demand, while the need for home offices caused a boost in office furniture sales. Seasonally, we see demand for outdoor furniture rise during the summer months and big holidays. Knowing this, it's easy to see how dropshipping furniture can become a lucrative business model.

Thanks in part to improved logistics and accessibility, online shopping has become more normalised and more trustworthy. Consumers are more comfortable purchasing expensive items online, especially when it comes to furniture. Many dropshipping businesses choose to focus on low-cost items, as high-cost items can be harder to sell, but furniture dropshippers are in the unique position of having something everyone needs. Selling high-cost items such as furniture will also boost your profit margins, with the median gross profit margin for furniture reaching just over 31 per cent. Your average conversion rate may be lower initially, but with hard work and a dedicated SEO strategy, you'll be able to attract and retain potential customers the world over.

Worried about long-term sales? Don't worry! A dropshipping business allows you to capitalise on emerging trends with less risk and more flexibility. You no longer have to buy stock in bulk and hold onto it in the hope it will sell. Want to test new products for your business, such as seasonal furniture? Add a new product to your online store, order as needed, and then determine if it suits your business. No more wasting money on the latest trends, only for the stock to rot away in a warehouse or home office.

It has also never been easier to start your own online business. Traditional barriers to entry such as high upfront costs and expensive, time-consuming inventory management are a thing of the past. You don't have to own your own furniture store or workshop to break into the dropshipping furniture niche - you simply need a reliable supplier, an eye for branding, and a drive to succeed.

Dropshipzone helps you to sell online without having to worry about inventory space, stock levels, office space or finding your next purchase. Choose your products and use our pre-populated product descriptions and images - no need to spend time and money on professional lighting booths and studio time. Our inventory management system provides up-to-date listings as well as suggested RRP, an up-to-date data feed with current stock levels, pricing and delivery fees. Once you make an order with your chosen supplier, your product will be shipped promptly and efficiently to wherever it needs to go, Australia-wide or internationally.

Make furniture and home decor your dropshipping niche with Dropshipzone and choose from a wide selection of quality product listings, from coffee tables to dining chairs, dining tables to lighting, and sideboards to bar stools.

Start selling in your perfect niche

Building your brand is the key to success when it comes to dropshipping. Dropshipzone's excellent range of dropship furniture allows you to create your dream online store in any genre.

Choosing the right niche can seem difficult, but there are steps you can take to make it infinitely easier. The first step is to figure out what you are interested in. Furniture dropshippers need motivation to succeed, and it is hard to be motivated when you aren't invested in your product. They say if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life - the same applies to what you sell!

Next, identify a pain point for your target audience that you can solve with your dropshipping business. You might be selling to students who need affordable office furniture. You might corner the outdoor furniture and decor market You might focus on sustainability by only selling products made with eco-friendly materials. Whatever your customers might need, you should be the one providing it.

Don't forget to do your market research. Look at your competitors: what is their marketing like? Do they have a clear buyer's journey? What strategies are they using to attract their audience? What can you offer that they aren't? You'll also want to check other factors about your niche - is it likely to experience fluctuations in demand due to seasonal trends? Does it have mass appeal or is it an exclusive market? Once you're secure in your decision, you can start choosing products to sell.

Fans of historically impactful designers such as Eames, Tolix and Colombo will enjoy inspired and replica pieces from our furniture suppliers. Customers will be delighted that they can own a piece of history in their own home, becoming the envy of all their guests.

Focusing on a specific interior style such as mid-century modern or French provincial is easy. We offer sets of furniture for the entire home, including home decor and accessories, so your customers can find the perfect match every time.

Break onto the B2B market and sell furniture to other businesses. How many pubs, clubs, bars and salons could use a good set of bar stools? Do you know a start-up company that could use some affordable office furniture? Does your local boutique store need some shelves? Is there a warehouse in need of some industrial lighting? There are many opportunities for your dropshipping business to help other businesses thrive. Establish a relationship with your local businesses as a reliable dropshipping furniture supplier and reap the benefits.

Succeed dropshipping furniture with Dropshipzone

Ensure the success of your furniture dropshipping business and bring in sales with the help of Dropshipzone.

Furniture is a high-ticket item, meaning they have a high cost to purchase but equally high value to the consumer. Bed frames are expensive, but most homes still need beds and will pay for one that suits their unique needs. High-ticket items are bought less frequently than low-cost items, but there are plenty of ways this can benefit you as a seller. Firstly, selling high-value items at the right price can build brand value perception, but this won’t affect conversion rates unless you’ve spent time on effective branding. Show your brand (and therefore your product) has value by growing your audience and web authority through long-form content, affiliate marketing, social media marketing and a clear SEO/SEM strategy.

Depending on your niche, high-ticket items may be more desirable. Environmentally conscious consumers will pay more for sustainability. Customers with unique tastes may be willing to pay extra to get exactly what they want, such as a specific configuration, style or colour. Customers with particular interests or professions may be both willing to pay more and have fewer alternatives, giving you the opportunity to corner a market.

Finally, high-ticket items raise your average order value (AOV). High AVO correlates to a higher profit-to-cost ratio as customers are spending more on a single sale and you’re saving on transaction fees, shipping and customer acquisition costs. Better still, you can further increase your AVO by offering bundles, cross-selling, or offering free or discounted shipping after reaching a minimum purchase threshold. Many customers are willing to pay extra for free, flat or discounted shipping. Luckily for you, we at Dropshipzone already have your shipping and logistics covered, so you won’t have to worry about haggling with unreliable, expensive couriers.
