The furniture accessories market is constantly evolving, driven by technological innovations, changing consumer preferences, and increasing emphasis on sustainability. As we approach 2026, several exciting trends are emerging, setting new benchmarks for the industry. At the International Furniture Accessories & Components & Semi-Finished Products Show (IFAC) Dubai, April 13-15, industry experts will highlight these transformative trends. 

One key development is the integration of smart technologies into furniture accessories. Consumers now expect furniture to offer convenience through automation and connectivity, such as automated lighting systems, intelligent hinges, and remote-controlled fittings. Such smart accessories enhance comfort and adaptability, driving significant market growth. 

Another critical trend is the increased demand for eco-friendly and sustainable materials. Manufacturers are prioritizing recycled, renewable, and biodegradable materials to meet environmental standards and consumer expectations. Products featuring reclaimed wood, bio-based composites, and recyclable metals are becoming prevalent in furniture accessories. 

Additionally, modular connectors are gaining popularity, providing flexible solutions that allow consumers and businesses to customize their furniture easily. These connectors are especially beneficial in urban settings where space optimization is crucial.
