Maple-birch furniture prices in the United States have risen significantly in recent years due to increased demand for durable, sustainable materials and supply chain disruptions. The average price per unit increased by 8-12% year-over-year in 2023, driven by higher raw material costs and labor expenses.

The price surge stems from multiple factors. First, maple and birch lumber costs have climbed by 15% since 2021, according to the National Wood Products Association. This is attributed to constrained global supply and rising transportation expenses. Second, labor costs in the furniture manufacturing sector rose 6% in 2023 due to inflation and a shortage of skilled workers, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Third, limited domestic production capacity and reliance on imports from Canada and Europe have exacerbated price pressures. For example, the average price of a maple-birch dining set rose from $2,000 to $2,400 between 2021 and 2023, per data from the American Home Furnishings Association. Additionally, consumer preferences for eco-friendly products have boosted demand for maple-birch furniture, which is often associated with sustainable sourcing. These combined factors ensure continued price growth, with analysts projecting a 5-7% annual increase through 2025.
