China bamboo flooring & access floor prices appreciate
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 continue to appreciate rapidly.
Many customer talked with their suppliers about prices one or two months ago. Now the customers are ready to place an order with the manufacturers and they haven’t talked abou the prices in the past time. But the manufacturers can’t offer the customers with the previous prices and require that the prices needed to be discussed again. The manufacturers increase the prices a great deal! The customers are very upset with this as they have the previous target prices. Or the customers have discussed with their own customers and agreed on the prices based on the prices which the manufacturers offer before. Some of them discuss with other manufacturers to seek low prices. However, the customers find that they can’t get the previous low prices. All the manufacturers have increased the prices. 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:
1. The prices for raw materials for the relevant products appreciate rapidly in China. And the price of the products in China goes up according. This is one of the main factor 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.
