After flat lining in 2016, the value of EU imports of wood furniture from non-EU countries increased 7% to \u20ac6.16 billion in 2017. Imports from China, by far the largest external supplier fell 4% in 2016 but recovered 0.7% to 3.08 billion in 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n

In recent years China\u2019s competitiveness in the EU wood furniture market has been impeded as prices have risen on the back of growing domestic demand and new laws for pollution control pollution in China.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EU furniture importers also continue to question the variable quality of product imported from China and some have struggled to obtain the legality assurances required for EUTR conformance when dealing with complex wood supply chains in China.<\/p>\n

The main beneficiaries of rising EU wood furniture imports in 2017 were other European countries including Ukraine, up 67.7% to \u20ac133 million, Bosnia, up 14.9% to \u20ac218 million, and Serbia, up 13.7% to \u20ac127 million.<\/p>\n

Rising trend in tropical furniture imports<\/strong><\/p>\n

EU imports of wood furniture from tropical countries increased 3.5% to \u20ac1.72 billion in 2017, reversing a 2.5% decline the previous year.<\/p>\n

Vietnam is the dominant supplier of furniture to the EU, although imports were flat in 2016 and 2017 after rising 40% in the previous two years. Imports from Vietnam declined 0.7% in 2016 and then increased just 0.5% to \u20ac724 million in 2017.<\/p>\n

EU imports of wood furniture from Indonesia increased 2% to \u20ac309 million in 2017, following a 6% decline the previous year. Imports from Malaysia increased 11% to \u20ac180 million, EU imports from Malaysia recovered by 10.7% to reach \u20ac203 million last year. Imports from Thailand fell 3.4% to \u20ac61 million.<\/p>\n

Direct competition between furniture suppliers in the various South East Asian countries is limited by market differentiation.<\/p>\n

With the rapid decline of availability of natural forest teak from Myanmar, Indonesia is now best placed to supply a wide range of outdoor furniture products, particularly due to relatively abundant plantation teak supplies.<\/p>\n

Indonesia's long woodworking tradition has also meant it has gained a reputation for supply of good quality specialist hand-made furniture, a niche market in the EU where it competes most directly with India.<\/p>\n

Vietnamese furniture becoming popular in Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n

By contrast, the Vietnamese furniture sector has gained a reputation for supply of large volume mid-range products, both for exteriors and, increasingly, for interior use, and is importing a wide range of wood from around the world to feed this production.<\/p>\n

The Vietnamese furniture industry is regarded by EU importers as technically more evolved than most other Asian producer countries and increasingly able to supply products to high European quality standards.<\/p>\n

Malaysia also supplies high quality products but offers a much smaller range than Vietnam with a heavy focus on rubberwood and other plantation species.<\/p>\n

While these various external suppliers now play an important role in specific sections of the EU furniture market, the domestic industry remains very dominant. The share of domestic manufacturers in total EU furniture supply declined only slightly between 2013 and 2017.<\/p>\n

In 2017, domestic manufacturers accounted for 86.7% of the total value of wood furniture supplied into the EU market, down from 87.5% in 2016 and 88.6% five years before.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
