Oct 04, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. In the first seven months of the year furniture exports grew substantially, fueling optimism for the remainder of this year and for next years’ sales. The state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, still ranks first among the states that export furniture with over $111 million traded for the year to July. This represents about a 28% share of Brazilian furniture exports up to the end of July, ITTO reported.

The major markets for Brazilian furniture are the United Kingdom, ($16.2 million), representing a 28.4% increase compared to the previous year. Other major markets included Uruguay ($14.4 million), Peru ($12.3 million), Chile ($11.3 million) and the United States ($7.8 million).

In an increasingly competitive market, Brazilian furniture manufacturers have demonstrated their entrepreneurial talent to overcome domestic constraints such as high labour taxes and high logistical costs. The weakening of the real has contributed to the success of exporters.
