Bangladesh's furniture export hit a historic-high of $110 million last fiscal year thanks to its spiralling demand in the international markets.

The amount is 39 per cent higher than the previous fiscal year's $79 million and a whopping 255 per cent higher than 2012-13 fiscal year's $31 million.

In the last fiscal year, Bangladesh shipped furniture to 62 countries, according to data of the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB).

The highest amount of the goods—worth over $55 million—was sent to the USA while Japan stood second in the list with over $17 million.

France—the third biggest export destination for Bangladeshi furniture—took home $10 million worth of the furnishings last fiscal year, according to EPB data.

In South Asia, India is the biggest importer of Bangladeshi furniture with around $4 million and Bhutan second with $240,000.

Furniture exports hit decade high​

Middle Eastern people also love Bangladeshi furniture. Saudi Arabia leads here by taking $2 million worth furniture from Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirate second with $275,267.

From Europe, not only France, the UK, Norway, Poland and Sweden imported around $1 million worth furniture in FY 22.

People starting from Russia to football-loving Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Chile, Columbia also use Bangladeshi furniture.

As far as I know, BD lacks timber/ woods on its own land. Does it import these things from Burma which has a lot of timber available?

One of the larger furniture makers has a showroom in the Greater Toronto area. I forget which one. Many of the exporters have adopted advanced robotics, CNC controlled routers/shapers and assembly handling automation to process wood. Quality is in no way worse than other Asian countries.

But they need to employ EU designers if they want to capture profitable markets in the EU and US. Or talk to larger nationwide companies in the US/EU like IKEA for assembly type furniture which is very competitive.

Currently Vietnam and Indonesia are leaders in supplying US furniture market - that I have seen.

Here are some stories on Bangladesh furniture exporters.
