Abstracts

In 2011, furniture and furnishings store sales saw growth in current value terms of 2% to reach a total of C$18.9 billion. Sales growth is modest as many Canadian consumers, in view of slow economic recovery, remain cautious and continue bargain-hunting. This encourages aggressive pricing and discount strategies by retailers and a stronger preference for big-box retailers that are able to offer greater discounts.
