Woods are being modified through parquet manufacturing trade rates shows us , the import rates and direct interests of countries worldwide.As we see on the graph USA is leading company in terms of imported goods of parquets worldwide whereas Germany is coming as second biggest importer on the list. (Kindly remember this list has been prepared regarding on gross import value of countries from the greater than other.Trade curplus and explicit rates were not considered in order on this form.)
As 3th placed Australia shows us the first three countries from different continents have been leading the trade structure by importing parquets as usage of home interior construction.However ,in general it is being required that developing and non – develop countries mostly in a position of exporting parquets to the developed countries.Thus most of the countries listed as developed on the table , it means that they are avoiding the process of get manufactured parquets locally because of high rate wages of workers,therefore they aim to supply goods from relative markets with way attractive prices in wholesale terms.
The recent researches that our B2 team shows us most developed countries have more focused entities that are serving in installation parquets as service providers.In this way,they ensure that only the assembling takes its process in exactly at the location is has been operated.
Except Canada,Austria and Poland are actually exporter companies who are also listed in importer companies list.It means that these 3 countries have important market share in this market by both obtainin export and import market.Especially,as we consider Poland by exporting surplus with the value of overall 136 million $ ,the country has take interest in manufacturing and directly offering parquets to the market.This is very crucial point for the reasons considered Poland is developing country status and their target clients are geographically close and most of them involved in developed country classification.
USA seems extremely demanding at the market with the import rate of 1,5 billion import surplus and dominating the market import value by the rate of %43.Therefore companies who are manufacturing parquets for interior construction cannot deny the importance of USA market.

On the contrary , export volume graph tells us too much about the global trade rates within countries.It seems to have promising results by being informed about Brasil and Chile are leading countries in terms of exporting parquets.Since the both countries are located in South America and not far away from USA, they have reached the result of exporting their products to USA market with their geographical competitive advantage.Of course this is only one reason that Brazil and Chile are doing well by exporting parquets to USA.The one other reason could be considered that both countries are in the category of developing which tells us countries in progresses of being completely developed have been progressing in this market in a better way.
Germany has been operating in this trade volume structure at their breakeven point as it seems clearly.Their export and import value of parquet floorings are quite similar and import gap is slighly more.Countries both developed in terms of machinery manufacturing and added value to the goods such as Germany shows a general profile of being able to export most of goods they can.Even their import rate is increasing annually , they want to keep the import gap in a similar position.
On the Table 2.0 Last ranked country France seems a direct importer despite the fact that the table whose shows exporter countries list in it.With overall 135 million $ direct import (considering import gap and plus actual export value) ,France is importing parquets for flooring from international markets.Close exporter neighbors Germany,Poland ,Austria plays a crucial role in supplying France’s imports within this category.
To sum up , we can take lessons both analyzing import and export data individually ,then it is way better to interpret results with considerable facts.Therefore , B2 market research insights aims to broaden your data reading perspective through latest data and their comprehensive review.
