HIGH POINT, NC -- Furniture industry analyst Jerry Epperson reminds us about a report predicting that 50 million of America’s 291 million people will move to the Sunbelt by 2025. The study projects population growth in several key geographic areas. (The original report was published in American Demographics in 2004). Epperson discussed industry trends at The International Home Furnishings market:
San Diego +118%
Scottsdale +133%
Santa Fe +180%
Corpus Christi + 81%
Savannah + 67%
Asheville + 69%
“Major corporations will move south for the weather, lifestyle and for the worker base. Already two of the five largest U.S. banks are based in Charlotte.” Computer giant Dell is planning to build an assembly plant in Forsyth County, NC., and Greensboro (NC) is considered a potential site for a $2.5 billion Toyota assembly plant.
