From the beginning of this year, timber price go up constantly , let furniture manufacturer feel more suffering . The fierce market competition makes the manufacturer difficult to talk about rashly to rise in price, and the cost rising day by day, make enterprises fall into the profit and drop constantly again, the condition that is even lost. The insider judges , the trend of the timber of upward price is difficult to change shortly, the possibility of the furniture of overall and upward price is greater and greater.
The rising range of the price of this timber is relatively large, the main reason is that the import volume of the imported timber reduces, thus drive the price of domestic timber to leave high. Estimate according to the professional personage , the import volume of the national Indonesian timber will be reduced by 600,000 cubic meters this year, Papua New Guinea material will reduce by 800,000 to 1 million cubic meters. At the end of last month, forestry products wholesale market of the good fortune people in Shanghai statistics show , the broad leaf material imported from the waterway from the beginning of this year obviously reduces, the Indonesian timber runs out of goods basically, the import volume of African timber obviously reduces too, and the price goes up by 15% to 18% than before the Spring Festival on average . Meanwhile, the main raw materials price that the coating , glue stuck such furniture as the pharmaceutical ,etc. and produced has gone up with higher speed since the end of last year too, in addition, electric rate , freight charges soar successively , has caused the rising by a wide margin of the furniture production cost.
Reveal according to a local furniture of employer's organizations , some enterprises difficult to afford have already begun to adjust prices silently, for example the mahogany furniture of more sensitive price to the raw materials has gone up by about 30% equally, but most furniture manufacturer , especially furniture enterprises of the modes in Chinese operatic music are still looking around, have not adjusted prices easily . The reason lies in the number of the enterprise of the domestic furniture is huge, the competition is very fierce, in addition, is affected by U.S.A.'s " anti-dumping case ", a lot of export enterprises turn the products to the market sold inside the country , has aggravated the competition further.
Estimate according to the authoritative insider , the domestic furniture trade has already stepped into the era of the meagre profit now, if the price of raw materials continues rising , most enterprises can't digest the pressure that the cost rise. Enterprises with certain brand awareness adjust prices at first most possibly, because these enterprises will seldom adopt the scamp work to lower costs in order to maintain brand prestige .
