Industry companies have trouble with falling foreign orders. Polish market is subject to the furniture downturn in Western Europe. And where consumers have begun to move this type of purchase durables to better times – Rados?aw ?ukaszczuk said from Millennium mortgage brokers. According to him, the dynamics of the decline in demand for furniture in the old Union may be a two-digit. Soon, statistics show.
In the first half of 2008 was still quite good. The value of Polish furniture exports exceeded 10.5 billion and the value of production sold across the industry reached 11 billion euro. But although the National Chamber of Furniture Manufacturers do not yet have data for the second half, it is known that the results for that period will be weaker. And in the first quarter of this year have dropped even more. – Some companies will have increasing problems with payments. Some fall – believes Tomasz Starus, director of risk assessment in the Euler Hermes.

If, in October 2008, the year of wood production declined by 10 percent compared with October of the previous year, to decline in November was already 25 percent – said Czemko Bogdan, director of the Polish Chamber of Commerce Wood. Drastically reduced the profitability of the industry: at the end of 2007 followed a year yet at the level of 5.6 percent. Meanwhile, for the three quarters of last year fell to just 0.4 percent.
Experts argue, however, that the crisis will pass, Furniture industry should return to their former condition. – In the longer term, it will still very prospective industry – says Tomasz Starus.
An example may be the intentions of the Swedish Ikea furniture tycoon who wants to grow despite the falls in your business. The company will invest in expanding its sales network in about 6 billion over the next 8 years. In Lodz, the cost of 200 million euro rise to a commercial park Port ?ód?. Retail and service center will be built in Los Angeles.
