Consistently, the furniture export of our country has been strongly competitive, which rely heavily on the price advantages. Nevertheless, the export is mainly on low-tech products, the average profit is very low and now Renminbi (RMB) has appreciated by 6%, making the profits become hardly enough to keep the enterprises survive. Correspondingly, the furniture export enterprises are actively taking measures:
1.Increase in export prices
For the last year, RMB has appreciated by 6% and the prices of the raw materials have increased by over 10% on average. Because of such impact, a number of small enterprises collapsed and lots of enterprises have continued to raise the prices of products for more than a year. Nevertheless, in order to remain clients, the price increases of many enterprises cannot completely offset the increases in costs, forcing the enterprises to adopt other measures.
