CHAPTER 2
Analysis of Emerging Furniture
Industry of Bangladesh
25
2.1 Introduction
Furniture Industry in Bangladesh is showing great potential. The industry is growing every
year by creating value through quality and convenience. The industry has flourished form its
cottage industries days and has transformed into a major industry. The growth of the industry
is increasing with each passing years. The industry has an estimated worth of BDT 67 billion.
Bangladesh has over 80,000 enterprises are currently involved with the furniture industry and
an estimated 41,000 of them are furniture manufactures (source: Bangladesh Furniture
Association). Almost 7,000 of them are registered as furniture related organization. Although
99% percent of the non-brand enterprises have not yet established themselves as brands or
well-known brands. But due to the impressive growth rate more and more entrepreneurs are
being motivated to enter into the furniture business. Again the existing enterprises are
gradually getting hold of the brand building trend. That is an indicator for a successful
industry.
The industry is providing the growing consumer demand with manufacturing domestically or
by importing. Previously the industry was heavily relied on imported furniture from
Malaysia, India, and Thailand. The domestic manufacturers took their time but finally they
were able to take the major shares of the market by providing quality end products. The
industry is currently employing over 2.2 million workers with the capacity of 3 million
(source: The Financial express, 12 August 2012)
Again furniture industry in Bangladesh is also putting their marks on exports. Currently the
industry has an average exporting mark of USD 38.9 million (source: Bangladesh Export
Promotion Burro (EPB). By 2020 the scale are estimated to reach USD 100 million (source:
The Daily Star, 24 March 2010).
Other than diverse use of products such as natural and processed wood, MDF, laminated
board, particle board, rattan/ bamboo and wrought iron which dominate the current backed by
good number of forward and backward linkages. These include a large number of national
and international suppliers of different raw materials. Furthermore, with a wage rate which
starts from $0.06 and goes up to a maximum of $0.40. Bangladesh serves as the ideal place
where one can gain multiple competitive edges which includes skilled workers and low
production costs.

The industry is a prosperous and ever growing. It is fulfilling the demand of every stage of
the society.
Furniture industry of Bangladesh has become a huge part of the economy. The industry has
existed in Bangladesh since several decades but the new wave of organized business
approach has changed the image of the study. Very little initiatives have been taken to
research why the industry is transitioning towards this organized business approach. This
internship report is dedicated to contribute to the information gap.
27
2.4 Objective of the Study
This internship report is an analysis of factors contributing in the growth of furniture industry
of Bangladesh and their effect regarding Nadia Furniture Limited. The specific objectives of
the study are:
To identify the factors that affect the industry from small to big level enterprises
To analyses how these factors affect Nadia Furniture Limited to achieve their stated
objective.
2.4 Timeline
The internship report covers the 10 year time period from 2007 to 2016. It is suitable to work
with this long period. As the industry has a vast size, many of the variables affects the
industry in long-term.
2.5 Limitations
Furniture industry of Bangladesh is a vast subject to study. The industry is affected by many
identifiable and non-identifiable variables. The internship period was only for 12 months.
Therefore the report had to prepare the report in this small time window. Again there were
some other limitations. All the limitations are given below given below:
Inability to collect required primary data due to the privacy policy of the
organization
28
2.6 Methodology

Primary sources
Secondary Data:
Annual reports
29
2.7PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL analysis is used to analyses the key factors that affect an organization. These effects
can prove both negative and positive for an organization in terms of creating opportunity.
This is a simple but powerful tool to effectively analyse an organizations survival chances.
30
2.7.1 Economical
Bangladesh currently has GDP close to USD 1950.08 billion . This is a major contributor, in
the development of the industry. The healthy economy is giving the industry the space to
divert to an organized approach.
31
2.7.1.4 Disposable Personal Income
The trend of the disposable income of the consumer has been rising since 2012. This is a
good indicator for the furniture industry. Because people have now more money to spare. The
furniture industry can grab this opportunity improve the sales.
Currently the average personal disposable income is BDT 52321. With this amount of
disposable income people are spending more on household products, which includes
furniture.
32
The huge change in disposables income has affected volume of consumption. The increase in
consumption of furniture will facilitate more furniture production volume.
This growth rate reflects on average annual sales and profit of the furniture industry
Although the Bangladeshi economy has its ups and downs but mostly the economic factors
are favorable to the furniture industry.
33
2.7.2 Technological
Bangladesh furniture industry developed from the cottage industry. At the time the crafting
were done mostly by hand and the raw material was also tradition. But from 90s the industry
started to change its face. A new industry sprung up with the increasing demand of the
customers. The solution to meet this kind of huge demand is to incorporate technology. The
organizations quickly grabbed the opportunity. And the adaptation changed the whole
scenario of industry.
This days manufacturers are using cutting edge technology to increase the volume of the
production. Again availability of new kind of raw materials like laminated board,
particleboard, and rattan/bamboo has made the business more versatile and profitable. Raw
material that generally is being used in the industry is
Wood
MDF
Rattan or bamboo
Plywood
Metal Tube
2.7.3 Environmental
With the emergence of globalization people and the government are more aware about the
nature preservation. The impending threat of global warming has made people more concern
and the result is, more and more people have forest conservation mentality. For this reason
people are getting more oriented towards metal and plastic furniture. This has given the
underdog of the industry to create new extension market. The result is a market with diverse
product line. All thanks to the environmental concern.
34
2.8 SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis is an essential tool to a business environment. The analysis puts light on the
strength, weakness, opportunity and threats of a business environment. The goal of the
SWOT analysis is to thoroughly analyses the internal and external factor and assess the
potential of the environment.
The purpose of SWOT analyzing the furniture industry is to identify the internal and external
factors that influence industry positively and negatively. And valuate the position of Nadia
Furniture Limited with the assessment.
Strength
Weakness
Opportunity
Threat
35
2.8.1 SWOT Analysis
Strength Weakness
Opportunity Threat
The PESTEL and SWOT analysis suggest that the furniture industry is constantly facing
many barriers. Political barrier seems to be the biggest barrier and there are some minor
economic and structural problems. Besides these most of the contributing factors are
favorable to the growth of the furniture industry. It makes the furniture industry an industry
with potential of greater progress.
Again as a rising name in furniture industry Nadia Furniture Limited is expected to affected
similarly by the factors contributing the industry and follow the same growth trend as the
industry.
36
2.9 Factors Regarding the growth of the Furniture Industry of Bangladesh
Bangladesh furniture industry is noticeably climbing u in the export market. In recent years
Asia as captured the lion shares of world export market. With the direction of wind
Bangladesh furniture industry is also progressing. The industrial approach has given the
furniture industry the ability to produce products in different shapes and requirement. Again
the sourcing of raw materials from different countries is a key factor for the quality of the
product. These traits are attracting foreign buyers. These aspects are providing the furniture
industry a great boost in import. The CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of furniture
has arrived on 104% in recent years (EPB-Export Promotion Burro).
Although the in 2015 the export of furniture in Bangladesh fall by USD 3 million but it is still
quite impressive in contrast with the past years. The local importers have captured the
markets of US, Europe and East-Asia. This expansion in export is big aspect for the increased
growth of Bangladesh furniture industry.
37
2.9.2 Market in Transition
With the wave of industrialization the furniture industry has also moved its production styles.
Owners are leaning over to more and more structured production. The characteristics are
giving the market an image with the supplied product quality and image. This trend is making
the business owners to move to more organized approach. Akhtar, HATIL, Otobi are the
outcome of this transition. These companies are expanding by putting their network in in
every possible cities and suburbs through the country. This approach of the industry is
creating a new image for the furniture manufacturer. Along with it the manufactures are also
putting emphasis on quality of the end product. This is a major contributing factor in the
expansion of furniture industry.
The companies are directing their seals methods towards more consumers oriented. Due to
the industrial wave the consumers are becoming are demanding more diversified product line.
Again with the increased amount of urbanization the life style of people is constantly
changing. This transition has been identified by the corporations. To implement this situation
the organization are approaching with more consumer oriented.
These organizations are attracting the consumers by providing wide-ranging furniture and by
visualizing them with the consumers lifestyle. The companies are shaping the demand by
through various marketing approach. Like they are creating the interior of the outlets like
modern households. The interior does not only use e the furniture products but other
supporting objects like books, show pieces, kitchen utensils etc. In this environment the
buyers can easily visualize the product in their home. Again these organizations are providing
the customers with many services like home deliveries, after sells maintenances. Consumers
are getting more sophisticated. By keeping their lifestyle in mind the organizations are
providingmodern products.
38
Source 8: Lanka Bangla Securities Limited (LSBL) research estimate
The customer oriented sells method has proved as a great success for the organizations. The
customers are more attracted to this convenient facility which creates new demand for the
industry. This gives a big boost on sells. And this is an indicator for the industrys prosperity.
Bangladesh is one of the most convenient countries on terms of low expenses labor and their
availability. Wage rate ranging from 24-120 USD (EU INSPIRED, 2013)is really attractive in
terms of labor cost. Manufacturers are able to produce the product and cut the cost of
production lower at a same time. Again the labor iscomparatively easy to collect. In
comparison to other Asian country where the average wage rate is 120 USD (EU INSPIRED,
2013). Bangladesh possesses a great advantage to get edgein the competition.
Again, Bangladesh has a huge number of unemployed workforces. This is a positive situation
for the manufacturers to easily assemble required work force. This kind of criteria is a huge
advantage for the industry growth.
39
2.9.5 Increasing Demand
Bangladesh is enjoying remarkableeconomic growth in recent years. This growth has been
reflected on middle class and upper middle class. The middle class is population is growing
with each passing year. The again the growth of national economy has increased their
income. Leading to more disposable income.
As seen on the graph Bangladesh disposable income has doubled since 2012. In 2015 the
personal disposable income was BDT 5232 (EU INSPIRED, 2013). This new wave of
personal income is changing the lifestyle of the middle class. This is resulting into the raise of
demand in household equipments, which include Furniture
The furniture industry partially relies on domestic raw materials. The domestic source supply
more than 40% (EU INSPIRED, 2013) of the industry demand. This raw material is mostly
comes from the forest of Chittagong division. As these raw materialsdo nothave have high
tax therefore it helps the manufacturers to lower the manufacturing cost to sustain in the
competition.
40
2.9.7 Financial services
With growing economy banks are providing the public with many financial services. Like
facilitating the credit card system makes it easier for customers to buy products easily again
bank now provide various consumer loans. This evolution is influencing the escalation of
furniture sells.
Compared to market leaders like Akhtar Furniture, Hatil, Otobi Nadia Furniture limited is
fairly new enterprise. The company was incorporated in 2012. Although the company started
its journey in 1991. This gives them the experience to come forward in organized business
with the target to create and enrich a brand. As a new entrant the company has a low capital
in comparison to the market leader but the real goal is to identify weather the company is
growing with the market trend.
(In thousand)
As given on the table Nadia Furniture limited still is a small scale company in comparison
with the big leaders. But their growth rate is quite impressive. Its growth is more than double
of the market rate. This is the indicator that the company is being influenced by the factors
that influences the industry.
41
