Throughout the plate market, internal and external problems

As the temperature continues to climb, the decoration boom has come and various log and sheet industries have also entered the state of construction. Looking at the state of market development, the overall price trend of the timber industry is indeed a confirmation of 2016's speculation that 2017 will continue to rise in timber prices. The price of wood continued to rise in 2017, and it seems to the outside world that the timber merchants have become full, but the prospect of this "prosperity" is "crisis".

According to sources, the large households in Shenzhen Guantao and Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu are scrambling to raise the prices of hot timber. It is natural to imagine how many hype ingredients there are. Under the loose monetary policy, the growth rate of M2 is significantly higher than the sum of GDP growth rate and CPI increase in the long-term, and there are more and more money on the market. There is always a good place to go. The stock market has just hit a disaster last year. The bond market capacity is limited, and the wood market, which coincides with the low value and has a value-preserving function, has become the target of many speculators. Some merchants revealed that the main business of some companies is speculation in rosewood, and the company’s financial resources have directly or indirectly entered the redwood market.

High-cost, high-risk timber dealers have a long way to go

At present, wood companies are most worried about the high cost and high risks brought about by this price increase. How to remedy the situation? The author believes that there are the following three points:

1. The concept of "environmental protection" enjoys popular support. Wood merchants should select high-quality raw materials, apply environmentally-friendly production techniques, and research environmentally-friendly and healthy products.

2. Timber companies must actively face transformation and upgrading. Strengthen the brand's in-depth, technological innovation, increase product added value and so on.

3. Actively explore the market and in-depth understanding of the most realistic needs of consumers.

Although the price of wood continues to rise, most people do not like it. Restricted raw materials, high sea-freight rates, increased customs fees, and depreciation of *** are the main drivers of this soaring timber price. Prices have continued to rise, and demand has turned around. This is not a good thing for the long-term development of the timber industry.
