According to inspection and quarantine departments, in 2011 Ningbo exported 12,733 batches of wooden furniture, worth $ 258 million, up 12.2% and 20.1% respectively.
Furniture items are important exports of Ningbo. There are so far about 360 certified wooden furniture export enterprises in Ningbo. Continued growth of furniture export from China is due to the reduction of commodity and furniture stock in Europe and USA. And rigid demand still exists, resulting in the significant growth of wooden furniture exports in both amount and value last year.
Another reason is that some of the furniture manufacturers have made great efforts in development and innovation, which helps improve the added value of their products. Moreover, quality and safety awareness of those manufacturers is growing and toxic substances are effectively controlled. Therefore, Ningbo furniture is winning increasing international recognition
