From 2007-2009, value sales of home furnishings fell sharply. For a category which had seen value sales grow consistently since 1999, the recession in the US created a perfect storm. First, retail purchases of home furnishings are closely tied to consumer confidence, which was devastated by the financial crisis and the resulting economic turmoil. At the same time, the housing market - which is also closely tied to consumer spending on home furnishings - was perhaps the part of the US economy most severely harmed by the recession. Finally, access to credit dried up as a result of the financial crisis. As many indoor furniture items are very expensive, consumers often rely on credit for such purchases. All of these factors worked to lead retail value sales of home furnishings to fall by 15% between 2007 and 2009. Moving forwards, however, retail sales of home furnishings rebounded, growing by 8% between 2009 and 2012. The category, however, is still well below the pre-recessionary level in terms of overall size in value terms at constant 2013 prices, and in 2013 growth momentum appears to have slowed slightly, with 2% growth in value sales seen during the year.

This trend was especially visible in food storage, where well established brands with high quality reputations such as Tupperware faced stiff competition from very low priced imported thin wall plastic containers sold in multipack sets in discounters, supermarkets and hypermarkets outlets.
