Frequently asked questions

Where can I find furniture and home furnishings retail sales data?

No furniture-tagged series exists in this slice, so analysts work the official trio: the Census Monthly Retail Trade Survey publishes monthly sales and inventories from January 1992, the ONS Retail Sales Index ships 622 time series from January 1988, and Eurostat covers 38 NACE retail codes across 41 European geographies. All three are cataloged, documented and requestable here.

Is there a dataset dedicated solely to homefurnishing retail?

None. This slice holds zero records tagged primarily to Homefurnishing Retail; all six pooled entries arrive through secondary classifications from apparel-retail, automotive-retail, home-furnishings, other-specialty-retail and electronic-equipment-instruments. The closest furniture-specific resource is the Kaggle Furniture Search hub, with results numbering in the hundreds to low thousands.

Which homefurnishing retail dataset reaches back furthest?

Two records go deepest: the Census advance-report archive begins October 1953, and UN Comtrade Plus annual bilateral series begin in 1962 depending on classification revision. The British index starts January 1988, Eurostat's indices January 1991, and the monthly Census series January 1992. Cycle models fitted on the oldest windows capture multiple full housing cycles.

What data tracks monthly US retail demand relevant to furniture?

Two Census series. The Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers cut posts monthly NAICS 441 sales, inventories and inventory-to-sales ratios from January 1992 - the big-ticket discretionary proxy - while the broader survey lists furniture and home furnishings stores as its own kind of business, one observation per month per measure per seasonal-adjustment flag.

Can I measure the online versus store shift in furnishings retail?

Yes, from two directions. The Census survey carries a quarterly e-commerce series beginning Q4 1999, and the ONS Retail Sales Index separates internet sales from November 2006 within its 622-series table, split further by sector and business size. Read together, they put American and British channel shift on one chart.

What data maps sourcing exposure for electronics-bearing furnishings?

UN Comtrade Plus TradeFlow for HS chapters 85 and 90: billions of bilateral rows from 1962 onward, each carrying reporter, partner, commodity, flow and period dimensions. Connected lighting, powered recliners and appliance-paired goods concentrate in these chapters, so supplier concentration by country is a filter rather than a research project.
