The Malaysian timber industry has developed into a very significant socioeconomic sector, contributing 3.7% to the Growth Domestic Product (GDP) and 3.2% to the country’s total merchandise exports in 2010. Indeed, the furniture business from the wood-based industry continues to expand due to the high demand from the worldwide market, particularly in the Asian region. This is evident from the total export of wooden furniture amounting to RM 6.7 billion in 2014, and by the fact that Malaysia is positioned as the ninth biggest furniture exporter in the world (Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce, 2014).
