Actual state at the EU-28 market of clothes hangers of wood

Abstract

At the European Union market of clothes hangers of wood, in the period 2007-2017, important increase in trading volume was been achieved. Besides increase in external trade, internal trade increase was been achieved, too. The most important foreign trade partner of the Union was China, from which the import value of more than 100 million was achieved during 2015. For market supply in the Union, the most important among the member countries were: Poland, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain, and since 2013 Romania. Increase in the use of clothes hangers of wood at EU-28 market is a clear indicator of changes in customer awareness, so instead of cheap plastic hangers, they decide to buy more expensive ones of wood. Continuous emphasis in the environmental properties of wood, as natural material, has contributed to this, which resulted in the increase of its use. Also, another important parameter which influences trading volume of these products at the European Union market, is that EUTR, which came into effect on March 1, 2013, does not apply to clothes hangers of wood.
