Increase in production costs floor prices up to 10% -40%

“Now the floor business is getting harder and harder to do.” According to relevant sources, since 2010, only labor costs have risen to 3,000 yuan/person, and high costs have directly reduced the company’s profits. “Previous profits have been at least 30%-40%, and since 2010, profits have been only around 20% at the most.” Profits have been squeezed, companies can only increase the ex-factory price of the product, but the price has been adjusted, resulting in a continuous decrease in the volume of orders. .

Judging from the price trend, the best-selling timber is most obviously affected by inflation. Its price has increased in successive months, and the rising momentum is staggering. Wood materials have gained momentum, and wood processing companies have stepped up their stocking.

In terms of raw wood panels, whether it is expensive redwood or common wood species, there have been different degrees of increase. From plate manufacturers and some furniture and flooring companies, it has been learned that the domestic and foreign plates have recently increased their prices by about 10%-40%.

“The order may continue to decline; if it is not adjusted, profits will be affected.” The boss of a solid wood floor factory is rather annoyed, and rising production costs have made him difficult. The reporter learned from some solid wood flooring manufacturing companies that due to rising production costs, manufacturers have raised the floor ex-factory prices, which has directly led to declines in orders.

The shortage of 1-150 million cubic meters of timber supply is imperative. The State Forestry Administration held a press conference on the protection and utilization of forest lands. Zhang Jianlong, deputy director of the State Forestry Administration, and Wang Yan, director of the Forest Resources Management Department of the State Forestry Administration, introduced the situation of forestry protection and utilization and planning. Zhang Jianlong quoted the calculation data of the State Forestry Administration at the news conference, pointing out that in 2007, the total wood consumption converted from domestic forest products reached approximately 371 million cubic meters, but the domestic supply was only 202 million cubic meters and the actual consumption gap exceeded 100 million cubic meters. Meter. It is estimated that by 2020, the total domestic timber consumption in China will increase to 4.57-47.7 billion cubic meters, and the timber supply gap will remain at around 1-150 million cubic meters for a long time.

According to data from the State Forestry Administration, in 2008, the output value of the Chinese forestry industry had reached 1.44 trillion yuan, and the volume of product import and export trade exceeded 70 billion U.S. dollars, which has already become the world’s largest producer and trader of forest products. On the other hand, in the past 20 years, the area and accumulation of forests in China have also continued to grow. The area of ​​artificial forests has reached 61.69 million hectares, ranking first in the world and accounting for 38% of the global area of ​​planted forests.
