This report focuses mainly on the Chinese plywood industry. It is a useful tool for all companies wishing to start business relations with China, both as sellers of items, or purchasers of products from the Chinese plywood industries.

It is also an important tool for Western plywood and wood panel producers and traders to get a clear and updated picture of the competitive environment in China. Companies can be analyzed for future clients or suppliers.

The report lists Chinese companies interested in buying plywood and other wood products. China imports all types of raw wood (logs, sawn timber, veneer, wood panels) as well as many manufactured wood products. Products covered in this report include logs, plywood, veneer, machinery, chemicals, etc.
