Analysis On Chinese Wooden Furniture Export Market Structure And Development Countermeasure

Since the implementation of natural forest protection project in China, the supply of domestic timber resources are seriously insufficient.Compared with other forest products such as man-made board,wood pulp,logs,converted timber, atc,wooden furniture has the characteristic of less pollution and high added-value, so the development of the industry is less restricted by the shortage of chinese forest resouce. Wooden furniture sales occupy the most in a variety of furniture products. China has now become the world’s largest wooden furniture production and export country.However, Exports are mainly concentrated in a few countries, and the top five export markets accounted for Chinese wooden furniture exports reached the proportion of80%. Because of the high concentration, anti-dumping and other trade barriers are easily produced,and if the only a few markets change,it will cause the Fluctuation of the wooden furniture exports which is not conducive to the stable development of the wooden furniture exports trade. Chinese wooden furniture export growth rate has slowed down and continue to suffer from trade frictions since2008, this is relative to the concentrated Chinese wooden furniture export market structure.Therefore,the study of Chinese wooden furniture export market structure can provide solutions for the Chinese wood furniture trade barriers from the source and provide theoretical support for the se curity of Chinese wooden furniture export trade security.This dissertation which is on the premise of reading literature and data collection,takes fundamental theory on international trade as the theoretical foundation, and firstly analyzes the current status of Chinese wood furniture export market and the existing problems, points out the fact that Chinese wooden furniture export market is more concentrated, the structure of the export market was not stable and some martets are lack of developing. Secondly, the thesis measures the degree of concentration of Chinese wooden furniture export market structure through Hirschman index, diversity index, export evenness index, measures the matching degree between Chinese wooden furniture export market and the world’s wood furniture import market through matching index, income structure change index, Laurence index, and then evaluates the risk of Chinese wooden furniture export market structure through the principal component analysis. Thirdly,the thesis takes a qualitative analysis on influencing factors of Chinese wooden furniture export market structure from five aspects-namely resource endowments, trade support system, Chinese wooden furniture products, market demand, export enterprises,and then builds a gravity model,takes a empirical analysis on some quantifiable influencing factor.The thesis predicts the potential that Chinese wooden furniture influences the share of each country’s exports by buliding gravity model,and draws a conclusion that Chinese wooden furniture exports to the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Vietnam more serious excessive and exports to South Korea, Russia, Finland insufficiently,the secound kind markets still have larger development unprecedented.Finally, according to the results of research and analysis, the thesis recommends the structural optimization of Chinese wooden furniture export market.
