Infant furniture sales hit $1.2 billion
By Kay Anderson -- Kids Today, 1/1/2006
High Point— Infant furniture had sales of $1.2 billion in 2005, according to estimates by Kids Today market research and statisticians at New York-based Easy Analytic Software Inc. Based on projected population changes, sales of infant furniture should hit $1.5 billion in 2010, say the statisticians at EASI.
California was the only state to top $100 million in sales in 2005, and by 2010, Texas is expected to reach $111 million. By then, California will be at nearly $178 million in infant furniture sales if projections hold. Other states with more than $50 million in infant furniture sales in 2005 were New York, Florida, Illinois and Pennsylvania. All but Florida are expected to increase their sales of infant furniture more slowly over the next five-year period than the 24% national average. Both Florida and Texas are expected to increase infant furniture sales by 29% between 2005 and 2010.
