The EU has maintained a trade surplus in wood furniture since 2011 when exports to non-EU countries overtook imports from outside the EU. This surplus remained broadly flat between the start of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 (averaging close to euro3 billion per annum), as both imports and exports were stable.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, the trade surplus narrowed sharply in the second and third quarters of 2017 (to around euro2.6 billion per annum) as imports began to pick up.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The narrowing of the EU trade surplus is an encouraging sign for external suppliers of wood furniture into the EU that have struggled to compete in a market where domestic suppliers account for around 85% of total share.<\/p>\n

The dominance of EU manufacturers in this sector is due to various factors including the strength of domestic brands in terms of innovation and design, the obstacles to overseas suppliers complying with complex EU technical and environmental standard, and the expansion of furniture manufacturing in Eastern Europe, a location which combines ready access to raw materials, relatively cheap labour, and the internal EU market.<\/p>\n

Improved economic conditions in Europe have been driving a rise in wood furniture consumption in the last\u00a0three years.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rising consumption combined with the growth of manufacturing in Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland,\u00a0Romania and Lithuania, is reflected in a rapid rise in EU internal wood furniture trade, from an annual level of euro15 billion at the start of 2014 to nearly euro19 billion by the end of 2017.<\/p>\n

The pace of the rise in internal EU wood furniture trade tailed off a little during 2017. However, last year there was a rise in the pace of EU wood furniture imports from outside the region. Between January and September 2017, the EU imported euro1.39 billion of wood furniture\u00a0from tropical countries, nearly 9% more than the same period the previous year. EU imports from China also increased, by 4% to euro2.38 billion in the same period.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>However, the biggest gains in EU imports of wood furniture in 2017 were from other temperate countries, notably Bosnia, USA, and Ukraine. EU imports from these countries increased 28% to euro1.01 billion in the first 9 months of 2017, building on a 14% gain recorded the previous year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
