In a market economy, the furniture industry, as well as companies in other industries, feels its severe external influence. However, it should be emphasized that the domestic economy has competitive products of domestic industrial enterprises. High-quality upholstered and cabinet furniture has long been appreciated abroad. The current period can be described as a period of accumulation of threats, so it is advisable to identify features of both macro and microenvironment, which have a significant impact on the activities of the furniture industry. Today, furniture production is an industry that is developing, gradually reaching the European level of quality and design. Therefore, it is extremely attractive to operators and, accordingly, has a dynamic to increase the number of competitors. Today, the Ukrainian furniture market is estimated at 330 million US dollars. The analysis of the furniture market shows that consumers increasingly prefer domestic manufacturers in their choice. The decline in interest in imported furniture is primarily due to declining purchasing power. It is also worth noting that the Ukrainian furniture market is not deprived of shadow production, which is focused on the middle and cheap segment. Today the shadow furniture market in Ukraine is 35%. More than 3,000 furniture manufacturers are engaged in furniture production in Ukraine. Among them: large furniture factories that produce furniture in series, medium-sized enterprises working on individual orders and small, of which about 30% – micro-enterprises. Globalization and the new internet-based capabilities of ready informational networking among companies impose and enable new value-added structures known as bot-tom-up economy. The structure and process related nature of the bottom-up economy is dramatically different from the top-down economy of the past in that it follows a logic of cooperation among smaller, locally based value-added units flexibly combining to form larger structures to generate complex products and services. This is referred to as open production by production managers and suggests that new technical opportunities might give rise to structural changes also in the logistics sector in future.
