Europe Mattress Market Outlook, 2029

Migration is a major reason for the rising population in urban areas, which is driving the real estate industry.

According to the World Bank, the urban population’s growth rate of the EU was 0.4% in 2020. Further, as per the European Commission, the region’s level of urbanization is projected to inflate to around 83.7% in 2050, while the total population of European functional urban areas (FUAs) is expected to increase on average by 4% by 2050. Therefore, this is also expected to drive the demand and production of mattresses across the Europe region. The current population of Europe is equivalent to 9.78% of the total world population. Europe ranks number 3 among regions of the world by population. Germany dominates the European market, whereas the cluster of smaller countries together contributes the highest in the region, which is expected to grow to over 40% by the end of the forecast period.

France, Germany, Italy, the U.K., Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Austria are among the most-famous travel destinations for people around the world. The charm of the region among holidaymakers has resulted in a massive increase in the number of hotels and resorts here, thereby helping the market advance. Several trends are shaping the European mattress market. First, the rise of e-commerce has transformed how consumers shop for mattresses, making it easier for them to compare products, read reviews, and access a wider range of options. This shift is bolstered by an increasing number of online mattress retailers offering home delivery and trial periods, enhancing customer confidence in their purchases. Additionally, sustainability is becoming a crucial consideration, with consumers gravitating towards brands that prioritize eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes.

The introduction of smart mattresses equipped with sensors that monitor sleep patterns and adjust firmness accordingly is also gaining traction. The sale of innerspring mattresses in Europe is anticipated to be consistent during the forecast period, contributing to more than 50% of the market share however, the memory foam mattress segment is to show the highest growth as an individual mattress segment.

Latex mattresses are increasingly popular for their natural materials and hypoallergenic properties. They offer excellent support and breathability, making them ideal for those who prioritize eco-friendly products. Brands such as Dunlopillo and Natural Mattress Company have carved out a niche in this segment, appealing to health-conscious consumers who appreciate the durability and comfort that latex provides. Memory foam mattresses have surged in demand due to their ability to contour to the body, providing personalized support and pressure relief. European brands like Emma Sleep and Tempur have capitalized on this trend, emphasizing the comfort and adaptability of their memory foam offerings. These mattresses are particularly popular among consumers with specific sleep issues, such as back pain, due to their ability to align the spine. The category of others mattresses, which includes air, water, and hybrid options, is also gaining traction. Air mattresses, like those from Sleep Number, allow users to adjust firmness levels for a customized experience, while water mattresses offer unique support and pressure relief.

The rising disposable income has a positive influence on the demand for mattresses, as they are one of the basic necessities for humans. The European mattress industry is highly fragmented, due to the presence of several key players. In recent years, the market players have been involved in product launches and partnerships in order to attain a significant position. For instance, in March 20202, Soft-Tex International Inc., a bedding and home product company specialized in foam and fiber, announced its exclusive partnership agreement with Serta Simmons Bedding (SSB) LLC to offer technology to SSB mattresses. This multi-faceted partnership would support SSB’s R&D teams, and launch next-generation mattress products.

Also, in April 2021, Spring Air International announced the launch of its four-model breathe collection of mattresses. This four-model collection of mattresses provides protection from bacteria and viruses for a healthier sleep.



Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the supply chains of numerous sectors in Europe region and led to the reduced trade of a number of products, including mattresses, as a consequence of the closure of manufacturing facilities globally. Furthermore, according to the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the pandemic caused a 66% fall in international tourist arrivals in the region during the first quarter and a 97% drop in the second quarter of 2020. The halt in the tourism industry impacted hotels, which further negatively, impacted the market for mattresses in Europe. However, the increasing number of people confined to their homes for an extended period could drive the demand for mattresses over the next few years.
