After making gains last year, EU wood furniture imports from tropical countries and China fell in the first 6 months of 2018. EU imports from tropical countries decreased 2% to \u20ac940 million, while imports from China fell nearly 10% to \u20ac1.46 billion.<\/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\u00a0\"\"<\/a>China. 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

Meanwhile EU imports of wood furniture have continued to rise from other temperate countries, mainly bordering the EU. EU imports from these countries increased 14% to \u20ac720 million in the first 6 months of 2018, building on a 28% gain recorded the previous year. The biggest gains are being made by Ukraine, Bosnia and Serbia.<\/p>\n

The main South East Asian supply countries have all followed a similar trajectory in the EU wood furniture market in the last 18 months. A rise in EU imports last year was followed by a decline in the first six months of 2018.<\/p>\n

After increasing 1% to \u20ac730 million in 2017, EU imports from Viet Nam fell 6% to \u20ac400 million in the\u00a0\"\"<\/a>first six months of 2018. Imports from Indonesia increased 4% to \u20ac311 million in 2017 but fell back 4% to \u20ac171 million in the first six months of 2018. Imports from Malaysia increased 10% to \u20ac203 million in 2017 and were 8% down at \u20ac99 million in the first 6 months of 2018.<\/p>\n

In contrast, EU wood furniture imports from India have continued to rise, up 12% to \u20ac103 million in the first six months of 2018 after a 12% increase to \u20ac202 million for whole of 2017. Imports from Brazil bounced back in the first half of 2018, rising 4% to \u20ac57 million, after declining 5% to \u20ac112 million for the whole year 2017.<\/p>\n

There were also shifts in the destinations for wood furniture imported into the EU from tropical countries in the first half of 2018. Imports in the UK, the largest market, were \u20ac339 million between January and June 2018, unchanged from the same period in 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>However, in the first half of 2018 there was a sharp fall in imports of wood furniture from the tropics by Germany (- 11% to \u20ac123 million), Belgium (-8% to \u20ac39 million), Spain (-12% to \u20ac37 million), and Italy (-4% to \u20ac31 million). These losses were partly offset by rising imports in France (+1% to \u20ac134 million) and Netherlands (+12% to \u20ac109 million).<\/p>\n

The large rise in Netherlands imports of wood furniture from tropical countries in the first half of 2018 may be related to the wider trend, mentioned earlier, to centralise procurement functions within the EU, contributing to a greater share of wood furniture trade passing through Dutch ports.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
