A library is a curated collection of information resources, typically housed in a dedicated building or space and made accessible to the public for reading, research, learning, and leisure. Libraries serve as valuable repositories of knowledge and provide a wide range of resources and services to support education, intellectual growth, and community engagement. Library furniture refers to various types of furniture and equipment that are designed specifically to use in libraries. It includes items such as shelves, tables, chairs, and other furnishings that are commonly found in library settings. Library furniture is designed to meet the specific needs of libraries, which include providing ample space for books and other materials as well as creating comfortable areas for reading and studying. Library furniture provides comfort to users while doing paperwork. Comfortable seating options, such as chairs with supportive backrests and cushioned surfaces, promote an enhanced period of reading. Additionally, library furniture is required to be durable and is designed to withstand heavy usage and frequent handling. Libraries have high foot traffic and diverse users. Additionally, library furniture needs to accommodate different activities and spatial requirements, as flexible and adaptable furniture designs allow for easy rearrangements and customization. Modular furniture systems, movable shelves, and tables with foldable or adjustable features enable libraries to adapt their spaces quickly to meet changing needs.

The unanticipated advent of the coronavirus pandemic hampered the market. The long-term consequences of the pandemic are difficult to predict, as the world economy is grappling with this crisis, which is expected to have an influence on global trade and the supply chain of supplement products. The undefined occurrence of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions resulted in the shutting down of upholstery shops globally. Henceforth, upholstery shops saw a weakening in sales, owing to such a restriction. Moreover, people limited themselves to shop furnishing items from these stores to avoid coronavirus infection incidences. Such factors are posing challenges to the overall industry growth during the period of pandemic.
