Now the prices of China bamboo flooring and access floor are a big headache for many customers and suppliers from whatever domestic market or oversea market: The prices appreciate rapidly.
Many customer talked with their bamboo floring and access floor suppliers about prices one or two months ago. And the customers haven’t noted that the quotations had expired. Now the customers are ready to place an order. But the manufacturers can’t offer the customers with the previous prices and require that the prices should be increased a great deal! The customers are very unsatisified with the new quotation. But they find now they can’t get obviously lower prices from China other relevant manufacturers. Some of the customers cancel or redue their order at last. Now if customers talke with the manufacturers for the prices first and then place order after 1 month,the manufacturers are even sure wheter their quoted prices are high enough to secure a narrow profit.
There are several things leading to the appreciation in this month:
1. The prices for raw materials for China bamboo flooring and access floorappreciate rapidly in China. And the price of relevant products in China goes up accordingly. This is one of the main factors for the appreciation.
2. The exchange rate of RMB continues to go up rapidly, so more dollars need to be paid for the same goods now. This is an important factor for the appreciation.
3. Labor becomes more and more expensive in China, which add to the cost of the products.
