kitchen furniture

News about China gets aged surprisingly fast. Not even two years ago, the kitchen furniture consumption in China was around 500,000 kitchens. Today, this amount grew to get close to a million kitchen furniture units. On the other hand one can observe that the Chinese kitchen furniture market is still microscopic compared to the furniture market which is around 30 billion dollars (at factory prices). Although export sales are growing by about 20 percent annually, the industry could be headed for rough times as it deals with numerous challenges including rising material costs, power shortages, and increasing competition. In addition, a number of bedroom furniture exporters have shifted to manufacturing lkitchen furniture after the US imposed antidumping duties on wooden bedroom furniture from China. This has added to the competition, although only marginally.
