Product Description
Based on export trends, China will be the biggest exporter of value-added wood products in 2012 including wooden furniture, plywood, fi berboard, wood flooring, miscellaneous wood articles, and builders joinery. However, there are a number of issues confronting the Chinese wood products industry that could affect its competitiveness or restrict its access to developed markets. Some of these issues are associated with the rapid industrialization of the Chinese economy, whereas, others relate to trade regulations targeted to wood products. The rapid increase in Chinese exports of low priced valueadded wood products have resulted in a number of anti-dumping complaints from the US, Canada, the EU and other importing nations. The Chinese wood products industry is also facing steep price competition from other Asian nations (such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia), who are attracting signifi cant investment into their wood products sectors. For example, Vietnam has experienced substantial growth in it’s furniture sector and has seen it’s share of the US market jump from 3.1% in 2004 to 14.5% in 2009 and it is projected to be 15.7% in 2010.
