A market under pressure, yet firmly on the move
Published on 1 July 2026
Maison&Objet Barometer #12. Maison&Objet gives a voice to more than 1,300 professionals — brands, retailers and specifiers — surveyed in April 2026 across around one hundred countries. It provides valuable insight into the latest developments shaping the decoration, design and lifestyle sector.
Despite a still-challenging environment, the market is showing genuine resilience: 62% of respondents report stable or rising revenue over the past six months, while 80% expect business activity to remain stable or improve in the months ahead.
Brands remain particularly dynamic, with 89% planning to launch new products in the coming months. Innovation, offer renewal and international expansion are emerging as key drivers of growth.
Beyond the figures, a deeper trend is taking shape: professionals are placing greater emphasis on distinctiveness, craftsmanship, sustainability and experience. These are all essential levers for creating value, standing out and responding to rapidly changing expectations.
Rather than revealing a sector in decline, the Barometer highlights a market in transition — one that is able to adapt, innovate and seize new opportunities.
