The contraction in furniture production (since 2007/2008) goes hand in hand with the increase in furniture imports and the challenge of imports has become an established phenomenon. However, British manufacturers have responded by developing an increasing degree of specialization, making significant improvements in quality and service and production output sees some development starting from the year 2010/2011.
