Once again a majority of North America’s largest woodworking manufacturers showed they have what it takes to continue to thrive. As a group, 2022 sales for the FDMC 300 – which includes manufacturers of furniture, cabinetry, architectural millwork, windows/doors, retail fixtures, home organization and other wood-related products – grew 18.7% over the previous year, reaching a new high of $74.1 billion.

Overall, FDMC 300 companies catering to the residential market outpaced those targeting the commercial segment. Sales for residential furniture manufacturers accounted for 24.7% of the overall total, while those producing cabinetry and closets were at 21.2%. Window and door firms, which cross residential and commercial, comprised 25.4%, while architectural woodwork/millwork sales were 1.5% of the total. 

Meanwhile, contract furniture, which continues to see growth in the home office category, accounted for 22.8%. Retail fixtures accounted for 2.2%, although based on the number of stores projected for build or remodel this year, this should increase. Specialty products, including musical instruments, were at roughly 2.2% of the overall total. 

Despite the growth in sales, supply chain issues continued to impact a large number of firms. That said, a large number of FDMC 300 respondents already are projecting growth for 2023. An in-depth look at some of the market segments will be included in upcoming issues of FDMC magazine.
