      The sales definitely would affect due to the Convid 19 pandemic especially from the US and EU region.

      As furniture is not the main priority to survive the sales would not pick back up as fast as other consumable good such as ediable oil. People would delay their purchase of furniture and rather keep more cash.

      Besides that furniture industries is labor intensive and highly dependent on foreign worker which Malaysia government had strict Standard of Procedure (SOP) for foreign worker which would increase the operation cost.

      Outlook for furniture industry for year 2020 is negative.

    it's interesting to read, and pretty much close to the facts they are facing now, except for saying business will be done during pandemic which the facts are the other way round, even to include some smaller players, are having huge orders in coming 6 months.. big challenge is material cost up, but most likely will be able to pass by to their market and should enjoy bigger premium later on.

      yes GaryGan, you are right did not expect order are coming from US due to the trade war between China and US and more people are working from home in US. Need new office furniture at home.

      Well eye on this coming US election, in my opinion the trade war would be ending after the election.

    may i know where did you get the market share data?

    Hi Gin Tonic, I compare single company revenue to the total revenue earn from selling off furniture in 2018. I analysed in this blog to get the estimated market share of the single company.

    Example:
    Revenue for POHUAT in 2018 (A) - RM 621,925,519
    Total Revenue Earn by selling furniture (2018) (B)- RM 3,218,703,904
    Market Share = A / B = RM 621,925,519 / RM 3,218,703,904 = 19.32 %

    This is how I calculated the market share in this blog with the assumption that the large company are public listed in Malaysia. There might be some company producing furniture which are not listed which the revenue is not taken into account.

    All revenue are base on 2018 annual report. The market might change in 2019 annual report.
