Furniture Stores in Canada Industry Data and Analysis
Furniture Stores in Canada are recovering from a downturn that interest rates set in motion. Higher borrowing costs choked off home sales and renovation spending that typically trigger big-ticket purchases, dragging profit to a multi-year low in 2023 before the Bank of Canada's rate cuts allowed demand to begin recovering, with the lag typical of a large, deferrable purchase. That recovery is real at the full-year level but incomplete at the lower levels. Leon's Furniture posted a same-store sales dip last quarter even as the broader rebound held on paper, and Wayfair's CFO confirmed the U.S. furniture recovery hasn't yet reached Canada. Profit has climbed off its trough as rate pressure eases, though unevenly across retailers. Since 2021, industry revenue contracted at a 0.9% annualized rate. This year, revenue is estimated to climb 2.9% to reach $28.4 billion.
