After making gains in 2017, EU wood furniture imports from China, by far the largest external supplier, fell 5% to \u20ac2.55 billion in the first 10 months of 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n

During the same period, EU imports of wood furniture continued to rise from other temperate countries, mainly those bordering the EU. EU imports from these countries increased 11% to \u20ac1.25 billion in the first 10 months of 2018, building on a 28% gain recorded the previous year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The biggest gains in 2018 were made by Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, USA, Bosnia, and Turkey.<\/p>\n

After a slow start to the year, EU imports of wood furniture from tropical countries picked up pace in the second half of 2018, and totalled \u20ac1.49 billion between January and October 2018, slightly exceeding the 2017 level.<\/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 Chinese domestic demand and new laws for pollution control pollution in China.<\/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 South East Asian supply countries have all followed a similar trajectory in the EU wood furniture market in the last two years. A rise in EU imports in 2017 was followed by a decline in 2018.<\/p>\n

After increasing 1% to \u20ac730 million in 2017, EU imports from Viet Nam fell 3% to \u20ac599 million in the first ten months of 2018. Imports from Indonesia increased 4% to \u20ac311 million in 2017 but fell back 4% to \u20ac257 million in the first ten months of 2018. Imports from Malaysia increased 10% to \u20ac203 million in 2017 and were 4% down at \u20ac163 million in the first ten months of 2018.<\/p>\n

In contrast, EU wood furniture imports from India have continued to rise, up 15% to \u20ac199 million in the\"\"<\/a>first ten months of 2018 after a 12% increase to \u20ac202 million for the whole of 2017. Imports from Brazil were \u20ac57 million in the first ten months of 2018, matching the 2017 level.<\/p>\n

There were also shifts in the destinations for wood furniture imported into the EU from tropical countries in the first ten months of 2018. Imports in the UK, the largest market, were \u20ac577 million between January and October 2018, 1% more than the same period in 2017. There were also rising imports in France (+8% to \u20ac219 million) and Netherlands (+6% to \u20ac163 million).<\/p>\n

However, in the first ten months of 2018 these gains were offset by falling imports of tropical wood furniture in Germany (-9% to \u20ac182 million), Belgium (-3% to \u20ac61 million), Spain (-7% to \u20ac57 million), and Italy (-2% to \u20ac44 million).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
