Japan’s imports of wooden bedroom furniture up 4% in June

The year-on-year value of Japan’s shipments of wooden bedroom furniture was up 4% in June 2019 but, compared to a month earlier, June arrivals were down 9%, as ITTO reported.

With Japan being a highly developed and quality conscious market it is surprising that just 4% of bedroom furniture imports are from the EU. 

Manufacturers in China and Vietnam have successfully penetrated the Japanese bedroom furniture market supplying almost 85% of all Japan’s June wooden bedroom furniture imports.
