The global mattress market is forecast to reach about $68 billion by 2030, with about an 8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) by 2030 forecast period, according to Market Research Future. The demand for mattresses is expected to rise post pandemic due to the increasing number of hospital beds worldwide in preparation for any health emergency. Asia Pacific (APAC) region will remain a dominant market due to the increasing footfall at regional hotels and an increase in the disposable income of middle class.
The US mattress manufacturing industry includes about 400 establishments (single-location firms and units of multi-location firms) with combined annual revenue of about $8 billion.
Competitive Landscape
Demand for mattresses is driven by consumer confidence, disposable income, and population growth. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and effective marketing. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. Small companies can compete by offering new technologies or better customer service, or by focusing on regional markets. The US industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies account for about 90% of industry revenue.
Because mattresses are expensive to ship relative to their value, competition from imports is limited. Imports are mainly from China, Mexico, and Indonesia, according to US Trade Numbers. Top export markets include Canada, Mexico, Japan, and North Korea, according to Trend Economy.
