Wood Furniture Manufacturing in China industry analysis

The overall development rate of the wood furniture industry has been slow in past few years. However, the industry is still competitive with the metal and plastic furniture industries.
The Wood Furniture Manufacturing industry in China is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 2.8% over the five years through 2025 to $80.8 billion. Due to global logistics constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, exports fell by 14.9% in 2019, and industry revenue declined in turn. Industry revenue growth has been slow in the past few years, which is also related to increased environmental awareness and fierce competition in similar industries.
Industry profit margins have been shrinking. Industry profit is expected to total 6.2% of revenue in 2025. Industry enterprises need more excellent design and manufacturing talents to form differentiated competition. Total wages are expected to rise by an annualized 3.9% over the five years through 2025 to $5.4 billion.
With the increasing awareness of people's health, consumers have higher requirements for the performance of furniture. Industry enterprises will use more environmentally friendly bonding materials and accessories to make wood furniture. To be more in line with the modern lifestyle, industry enterprises actively integrate smart home technology into products, so that consumers feel convenient.
In the future, more and more industry enterprises will expand overseas markets. Exports are expected to grow at an average rate of 1.3% in the next five years. Competing imports have declined significantly in the past few years, mainly due to the rise of local brands and import logistics constraints. Competitive imports will behave weak, and more and more people will trust domestic brands. Competing imports are expected to decrease at an average rate of 3.1% in the next five years.
The future development trend of the industry's products may be toward customization and high-end development. The revenue of the industry will increase with the increase of the added value of the product. Industry revenue is expected to increase an annualized 1.9% over the five years through 2030 to total $88.6 billion.
