World trade of kitchens expected to grow

Abstract

During the 2003-2008 period the world trade of kitchen furniture (measured as the average ratio among exports and imports of 60 countries) peaked from US$3.1 billion to US$ 5.4 billion (from EUR 2.8 to EUR 3.7 billion) equal to an average yearly growth of 12% expressed in US dollars (6% in EUR). No doubt that after the severe slump of 2009 (15% decrease for Italian exports and 10% decrease for German exports), world trade of kitchen furniture will register a new growth.kitchen furniture, world trade
