CLEVELAND, May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- US demand for natural and artificial Christmas trees is forecast to drop slightly to $2.0 billion in 2021, according to Christmas Trees: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Slower growth is expected in real (inflation-adjusted) disposable personal income relative to 2013-2016, a cyclical macroeconomic factor, reducing consumer willingness to spend on Christmas trees. Declines to 2021 will also result from ongoing decreases in the number of Christian-affiliated adults aged 45-to-54 years. Furthermore, the aging of the baby boom generation will shift the product mix toward the smaller, less expensive units preferred by the 65 and older age group. Nevertheless, demand will remain supported by growth in household formation, particularly in the 25-to-44-year-old range.

These and other key insights are featured in Christmas Trees: United States. This report forecasts US Christmas tree demand in units and US dollars at the retailers' level to 2021. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of:

natural
artificial

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2006 to 2016.

Furthermore, this report features results and analysis of a national consumer survey conducted by Freedonia Focus Reports between the months of February and March 2017. The survey pertains to the Holiday/Winter 2016 season.
