China exported US$17.4 billion of furniture in 2006 and the figure is
expected to reach US$48 billion in 2010, according to the China Building
Decoration Association.

Zhang Zhongling, a senior official with the industry association, said
China had become the world's ?biggest furniture exporter.

The mushrooming furniture industry has also driven expansion of the
woodworking machinery industry.

The 12th Woodworking Machinery and Furniture Fair China (WMF), to be held
in Beijing next year, is expected to attract more than 600 exhibitors
from 18 countries and regions.
The WMF has become the largest woodworking machinery expo in Asia, and
