China is now the seventh largest market for the Italian furniture sector. France remains the largest exporting market (+3.6% to \u20ac1.337 million), followed by Germany (+1.4% to \u20ac945 million), the UK (+0.3% to \u20ac728 million), and the US (+6% to \u20ac685 million).<\/p>\n<p>The sector reckons that it is important to have a medium-term strategy in these new export markets: patience is key and it is fundamental that, if possible, enterprises devote enough resources as many operators in the sector are adamant that European markets \u2013 in spite of the relatively good economic context over the last few months \u2013 are relatively saturated.<\/p>\n<p>The positive demographic prospects of many Asian and African countries and the consequent need for housing to accommodate a growing population guarantee medium-term growth perspectives, which are, however, at times offset by locally tense geopolitical situations.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding this, FederlegnoArredo forecasts that largest exports\u2019 growth in the next few years will take place in Asian countries such as South Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam, EOS reports.<\/p>\n<p>A good strategy to penetrate these markets seems to be the establishment of a local platform such as Singapore or Hong Kong in order to better serve these countries. A local platform is also helpful when it comes to managing the expectations and demands of customers hailing from different cultures. In this sense, there must be a more and more intense focus not just on the product itself, but on how to best sell it to a set of customers very different from the traditional ones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Italian\u00a0furniture sector exports more and more to non European Countries, such as many\u00a0other segments of the woodworking industries in various European countries.
