China Furniture Exports Show Strong Growth Momentum in Early 2026

China's furniture manufacturing sector continues to demonstrate resilience and growth in early 2026, driven by strong export performance and global demand recovery.

According to recent industry data, the number of export origin certificates issued by Foshan Customs reached 31,000 in the first two months of 2026, representing a 23.3% year-on-year increase. Export value also rose by 13.4% to RMB 10.61 billion, highlighting the sector's steady expansion in overseas markets.

China remains the world's largest furniture exporter, accounting for over 30% of global furniture exports, supported by its well-established manufacturing clusters and supply chain advantages.

For cabinet and custom furniture manufacturers, this growth reflects:

Increasing global sourcing demand

Competitive pricing under free trade agreements

Strong production capacity and automation adoption

As international markets continue to recover, Chinese cabinet manufacturers are expected to further strengthen their position through smart manufacturing, quality control, and efficient delivery systems.
