Synergy House Bhd shifted to focus on higher-priced furniture products in the US market after tariffs and weak demand led to losses in 2025. The group leveraged e-commerce platforms like Wayfair to grow its mid-to-higher price segment, aiming to improve profitability over the next three to five years despite macroeconomic headwinds and inventory challenges.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Furniture.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Tariffs on Malaysian furniture imports forced you to move upscale in the US market to protect margins. Shift your product focus and sales pitch quickly onto higher-value listings before competitors capitalise on your inventory clearance.
