Production volume of furniture in China 2018-2023
Metal furniture production in China
As a result of its high price efficiency and durability, metal furniture has become increasingly popular among Chinese consumers. This has also been reflected in production. In 2021, furniture made from metal materials accounted for 43 percent of Chinese furniture production. Metal furniture production is unevenly distributed throughout the country, with East China producing more than 60 percent of all metal furniture. Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces were three of China's most prominent metal furniture-producing regions.
Wood furniture production in China
Benefiting from being one of the world’s leading timber and wood producers, China's wood furniture production thrives. Compared to metal and furniture made of other materials, wood furniture is more popular with young and middle-class consumers because of its natural charm and fashionability. Furthermore, wood is environmentally friendly, since it can be recycled and reused, which is another reason why Chinese consumers purchase wood furniture.
