The value of EU wood furniture production was \u20ac40.3 billion in 2017, no change from the previous year. Total imports from outside the region increased 9% to \u20ac6.29 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, EU wood furniture imports increased 7% from the tropics, to \u20ac1.75 billion, and 3% from China, to \u20ac3.18 billion. However, most of the gains were made by other non-EU temperate countries, such as Ukraine, Bosnia and Serbia. Total imports from these countries increased 28% to \u20ac1.36 billion.<\/p>\n<p>EU consumption of wood furniture was \u20ac37.6 billion in 2017, a gain of 2% compared to 2016. Despite the rise in imports in 2017 the share of domestic manufacturers in total EU furniture supply declined only slightly last year.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>EU wood furniture production data is published only annually, so it is too early to assess how consumption is developing in 2018. However, EU monthly data on internal and external trade provides insights into the changing share of the various wood furniture supply countries to the EU, alongside changes in internal distribution patterns in 2018 which may have long term implications.<\/p>\n<p>Eurostat trade data reveals that internal EU trade in wood furniture, which increased 4% to \u20ac19.2 billion in 2017, increased a further 6% in the first half of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the pace of EU wood furniture exports to nonEU countries, which were flat at \u20ac8.7 billion in 2016 and 2017, have continued at the same rate in the first half of 2018. Wood furniture imports into the EU from outside the region were rising in the second half of 2017, but began to dip in the first half of this year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Eurostat trade data shows that the EU\u2019s wood furniture industry, having lost a little ground to imports in 2017, is struggling to increase sales outside the EU as global trade slows.
