According to China Customs, in the first half of 2023 China\u2019s plywood exports were 5.13 million cubic meters valued at US$2.368 billion, down 9% and 20% respectively over the same period of 2022. The main reason for the decline in plywood exports was that both the number and production capacity of China\u2019s plywood industry had declined.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There were more than 10,800 enterprises (down 14% year on year) manufacturing plywood products in China at the end of 2022 with the total production capacity of 208 million cubic meters per year, down 6.3% over 2021 level.<\/p>\n

The markets for China\u2019s plywood exports are varied but 50% of national exports go to just 10 countries. the Philippines and UK are top two markets for China\u2019s plywood but in the first half of 2023 plywood exports to these two markets fell (Philippines, -7% and UK -18%) and this affected the overall sector export performance.<\/p>\n

The US is no longer the main destination for China\u2019s plywood exports due to the on-going trade friction. In the first half of 2023, China\u2019s plywood exports to the US totaled just 143,000 cubic meters valued at US$103 million, down 39% and 51% respectively over the same period of 2022.<\/p>\n

However, an increasing trend has been observed in exports of plywood exports to Middle East countries and African countries. China\u2019s plywood exports to UAE and Israel rose 11% and 15% in the first half of\"\"<\/a> 2023.<\/p>\n

Nigeria became the third largest market for China\u2019s plywood exports in the first half of 2023. China\u2019s plywood exports to Nigeria surged 72% to 291,000 cubic meters valued at US$95 million, up 47% in value from the same period of 2023.<\/p>\n

Decline in CIF prices for plywood exports<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the first half of 2023 CIF prices for China\u2019s plywood exports declined compared to the same period in 2022. The lowest CIF price was seen in plywood exports to both the UK and Saudi Arabia, each dropping 8% and the price of China\u2019s plywood exports to the US fell 19% year on year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
