Environment-friendliness is the buzzword prevailing over the wooden furniture and lighting industry in the Philippines. Suppliers are implementing steps to ensure that products and manufacturing processes meet growing buyer demand for goods that do not adversely aff ect nature. Wooden furniture enterprises highlight the fabrication of pieces made of legally harvested wood.
Lighting companies place emphasis on certified and energy-saving electrical components. In addition, makers participate in programs aimed at encouraging the creation and consumption of products that are harmless to the ecosystem.
Models also adopt natural materials in addition to wood. These include rattan, bamboo, and various types of fibers such as Manila hemp, buri and banana bark. Marine-based inputs are commonly utilized in lighting.
Key Findings
1. The majority of suppliers plan to keep prices level over the next six months to attract new clients and maintain viability. A significant number of companies are preparing to raise quotes, however, but this will be done cautiously at rates not exceeding 10 percent.
2. Enterprises target different price segments of the market depending on the product type. Furniture manufacturers emphasize the midrange and high end to avoid directly competing with less expensive pieces from China and Vietnam. Lighting makers are able to cater to the low end because models are made primarily of inexpensive and readily available indigenous materials.
3. A key challenge facing the sector is the diminished domestic supply of wood due to a government directive prohibiting logging from natural forests. The artificial shortage has pushed up expenditure for lumber by as much as 30 percent over the past 12 months.
4. Upcoming designs of furniture will mainly have basic styles. A few decorative elements will be adopted, however, and these include bright colors for upholstered items and rustic effects for plain wood pieces. Lighting will feature motifs painted or engraved by hand.
5. Sourcing hubs in the Philippines are typically located in rural areas where production facilities have quick access to raw materials and skilled labor. These include the provinces of Pampanga, Cebu and Bulacan. Makers can also be found within Metro Manila.
