The furniture industry of Bangladesh has a different appeal. While some furniture manufacturers celebrate the country's own culture and heritage in their designs, others show exciting takes on contemporary designs. Some even combine both and produce unique and beautiful pieces of furniture that you will want to proudly showcase at your home or office.

With such brilliant designers, over 80,000 entrepreneurs, and more than 25 lakh skilled workers, the furniture industry of Bangladesh has been growing fast, with an annual growth rate of 18% to 20%. Moreover, the industry earns a yearly revenue of over BDT 10,000 crore, and currently is also exporting 7% of its manufactured products abroad.

The success of the furniture industry of Bangladesh is the result of the decade-long hard work of countless talented furniture manufacturers. Among them, a few noteworthy companies have been leading the development of this industry toward the global market and becoming significant contributors to the country's economy. In this article, we will introduce you to these leaders – the top ten furniture brands in Bangladesh.
