THE CHINESE MARKET
China is not only one of the world’s leading exporters of wood products, but also one of the largest importers of wood, wood-based panels, furniture and flooring products. According to statistics, China’s exports of wooden furniture exceed imports, with approximately 35.8 million wooden furniture exports in 2021, totalling USD 76.9 billion.
