Exporters of wooden kitchen furniture to Japan have great difficulty capturing market share from the top two suppliers, the Philippines and Vietnam which accounted for 44% and 41% respectively of all August arrivals of wooden kitchen furniture, as ITTO reported.
Japan’s year-on-year August import values were up 9% but month-on-month August imports dropped 5%. As in previous months China is not a major supplier of wooden kitchen furniture for the Japanese market neither are shippers in Europe or North America.
