By:- Mr. Tushar Verma Executive Vice President, REHAU India & Sub Con on Year’s performance in the interior industry
When I reflect on 2025, I see a year where the Indian furniture and interiors business became more deliberate in how it grew. Design conversations did not stop, but they were increasingly supported by serious discussions around materials, performance, and execution. Categories like edgebands and decorative surfaces saw consistent traction, largely because customers and project partners began paying closer attention to finish quality, edge detailing, and how products perform over time, not only on day one. The element that stood out equally was the strength of collaboration across the ecosystem. Engagements with OEMs, architects, fabricators, and channel partners became far more focused on problem-solving and delivery. That shift helped improve site execution, reduce rework, and bring better predictability into projects. Decorative surfaces also grew as a business segment, with growing demand for restrained colours, tactile finishes as well as solutions that fit both residential & large-format commercial spaces. As the year closes, the industry feels stable alongside being better aligned and prepared to scale with clarity & discipline.
