The Indian online furniture rental market, including furniture, home decor, and appliances, is estimated to be a $1.5 to $2 Billion market by 2020. This is only a fraction when compared with the overall furniture market size of close to $32 Billion. With millennials increasingly becoming mobile in the way they live and work, renting furniture is starting to become a major trend in India – especially in the top 8 metro cities. Renting can be better than buying for those who don’t want to root for long-term use of the furniture, who don’t want the hassles of owning and disowning products and who want to experience cool furniture without spending a huge amount in one go.
Renting furniture or appliances is not entirely new to Indian consumers as local vendors have always been offering rental services. However, online portals such as Furlenco and GoZefo really deliver well designed, artistic, ambient-creating furniture and convenience at an affordable monthly rental.
