 Growth
markets for sales/production China- OEM manufacturing for American and European furniture companies
- Increasing labour costs stimulate automation
- Development of own brands and designs
- Eco-friendly production processes
- Consolidation in the wood based panel industry – fewer but larger companies
India- Poor basis for production facilities
- few wood resources
- poor infrastructure
- But
still high potential for sales of wood products and furniture because
of a young and growing population and an improved standard of livin
Russia- Largest future market for the wood industry because of large untapped forest reserves
Opportunities
in established markets USA- Important individual marke
- tInvestment slowdown is currently holding back urgently necessary optimization of production
Western
Europe- Largest regional market for furniture manufacture
- Automation potential not yet fully exploited
Technology
trends -
Resource
