Growing Popularity of Ergonomic Furniture Bolsters Middle East & Africa Educational Furniture Market
As many people spend extended periods sitting at desks and workstations, ergonomic furniture has become a major trend in recent years. This trend has extended to the education sector, where students and teachers spend long hours sitting at desks and tables. Creating learning environments that keep students focused and comfortable has become one of the prime goals of educators, which has increased the demand for ergonomically designed furniture to avoid health issues arising from incorrect body postures while sitting. Ergonomic furniture is designed to promote healthy posture and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders caused by prolonged sitting. Ergonomic chairs, desks, and tables can be adjusted to accommodate different heights and body types, and are designed to provide support for the back, neck, arms, and wrists. Raw materials that are more durable, sustainable, and stable than traditional ones are used in the production of ergonomic furniture. For example, materials such as processed or engineered wood, molded plastics, and high-pressure laminates are used to manufacture chairs, benches, and tables for schools. Further, furniture with additional storage options acts as a space-saving solution in smaller, more compact classrooms, and its demand has increased significantly in recent years. For instance, CBT Supply, Inc. dba Smartdesks produces smart tables and chairs with stackable options and multifunctional applications for classrooms and school offices. Thus, the emerging trend of ergonomic furniture is likely to boost the growth of the education furniture market during the forecast period.
