Two and a half years back, COVID-19 negatively impacted the market due to complete lockdowns. This situation has prevented the manufacturing companies to produce new standing desk productions and supply them to other end-user industries and applications. However, some recent research has shown that working at a standing desk for better health benefits is just a myth. Customers cannot get rid of health issues such as back or neck pain by using any kind of standing desk. This news is spreading among a lot of customers in some countries, which is also hampering the market growth. The high cost of products is another restraint that is hindering the market in some under-developing countries due to a lack of awareness and understanding about the benefit of using standing desks. However, some small and medium-sized companies are trying to increase their investments with R&D activities to better serve their clients. This would help the market to gain more significant growth in the future. 

Based on product type, the global standing desk market is segmented into a fixed standing desk, mechanically adjusted desk, electrically adjusted desk, and converter standing desk. The fixed-standing desk segment holds the largest share of the market and is anticipated to accelerate market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, due to several benefits, this segment accounted for the largest share of the market during the upcoming years. For example, fixed standing desk increases the user’s energy, improves mood, harnesses joint and muscle movement, improves mental focus, and reduces caffeine intake. Additionally, it also increases the productivity of a person who works on it. On the other hand, the converter standing desk is also estimated to propel market growth due to its rising demand and various benefits. Using a converter standing desk might lower blood sugar levels and the risk of heart disease. 

In terms of end-user, the market is categorized into household and commercial. The household category accounted for the largest share of the market. A large number of consumers purchase standing desks for their family members, especially for their grown kids. The main benefits of using this desk are that it helps in reducing the likelihood of a user developing serious health problems such as neck or back pain. A commercial category is also estimated to become the second-largest end-user segment in the future. Many IT offices are adopting standing desks for both their employees and employers. Many people who work at the office think that using a standing desk while working would actually result in extra calorie burn. Hence, they use this desk more often which would drive the market growth. 

By distribution channel, the market is divided into online and offline. The offline segment holds the largest share and is anticipated to propel market growth in the future. Most people like to go outside shopping and buy a lot of things. Hence, many manufacturing players associated with standing desks supply their products to the offline market. This would catch the attention of the customer who visits their nearby shopping mall or offline retail services. Some customers have their specific or favorite standing desk brands due to their several offers and other benefits. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the online distribution segment held most of the market growth. In addition, people who are busy all the time with their work and do not have time to visit for offline shopping might purchase their standing desk through an online market.
