The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) has released its 2025 Economic Outlook report, highlighting how tariffs, rising costs, and labor shortages are creating an uneven recovery for the design industry. While moderate consumer spending and employment growth offer some stability, persistent challenges like paused infrastructure projects and high housing prices demand that designers remain agile and forward-thinking. The report identifies new opportunities in sectors such as adaptive reuse, build-to-rent housing, and aging-in-place design, offering data-driven insights to help interior designers navigate and grow in a shifting economic landscape.
