“…There is no specific research on wood processing industry competitiveness. All previous researchers ( [11,[14][15][16][17] and several others) used RCA, CMS, MS, TC, RTA and net export index to measured competitiveness of forest products. This has not been performed specifically before in wood processing industry research.…”

“…Some researchers between different countries have compared the global competitiveness of the forest-related products. Souza et al [14] analyzed the competitiveness of Brazilian tropical wood on the worldwide market, using the two approaches of the revealed comparative advantage index and constant market share model. The results show that sawn wood products were beneficial and provided competitive advantages over the evaluated period.…”

Indicators measuring industrial international competitiveness are being continuously improved. However, so far, there is no unified perfect indicator to measure the level of international competitiveness of the industry. Based on the market share index (MS), trade competitiveness index (TC), revealed comparative advantage index (RCA), and relative trade advantage index (RTA), we constructed a comprehensive international competitiveness index by combining the variation coefficient and the entropy method. This study aims to compare and evaluate the international competitiveness of the wood processing industry (ICWPI) in Vietnam using a comprehensive international competitiveness index. The data is collected from the top 22 countries and the total import and export volume of the wood processing industry from the repository of official international trade statistics (UN Comtrade) database for 2001–2017. The results found that it is more accurate to use the combined variation coefficient and the entropy method to evaluate the international competitiveness of the wood processing industry, compared to using only a single index. The growth rate of international competitiveness of Vietnam increased rapidly from 2001 to 2007 but slowed from 2008 to 2017. Vietnam has the advantages of natural resources, low labor costs and favorable geographical location. However, the low productivity gains and added industry value have led to a gradual decline in the international competitiveness growth rate of Vietnam's wood processing industry.

“…Research in this area was carried out, among others, by Drabik and Bartova (2008), Török and Jambor (2013), Carraresi and Banterle (2015), Vitunskiene and Serva (2015), Łukiewska (2020), Juchniewicz and Łukiewska (2020). Buturac, Lovrinčević, and Mikulić (2018) and Souza, Angelo, Almeida, and Paula (2018) used the constant market share (CMS) method to explain the increase in the export market share of a country's industry based on the competitive, product, geographic and residual effects.…”

Purpose:The main aim of the research was to assess the international competitiveness of the furniture industry in the EU Member States. The article deals with the interpretation and methods of measuring competitiveness at this level of economic analysis. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used the measurement model of the international competitiveness of an industry -the proposed methodology allowed for a broad assessment of competitive potential and competitive position. A set of competitiveness indicators and a multidimensional statistical analysis were presented. Findings: The international competitiveness of the EU furniture industry is diversified. The furniture industries in Poland, Italy, and Germany had the most significant competitive advantage by far. These countries have exceptionally high production potential and big export share. Practical Implications: The research can inform furniture manufacturers about the factors that contribute to increase competitiveness. Some strengths and areas for improvement in the operation of the furniture industry from various countries were identified. These may be relevant for building a lasting competitive advantage in the international market. Originality/Value: Competitiveness is a category that is relatively rarely studied at the sector level. The present study performs a broad assessment of the furniture industry's competitiveness, considering both the factor and the result dimensions. The empirical research presented herein has both theoretical and practical value. The employed methodology is universal and can be used to assess various industries and sectors of the economy.

“…Esta perda de competitividade está diretamente relacionada à crescente dificuldade de explorar e vender madeira tropical da Amazônia, bem como aos custos de produção no Brasil, principalmente devido ao custo de energia, logística e dificuldades de crédito no país (SOUZA et al, 2018).…”

O segmento de painéis de madeira vem crescendo no Brasil com a consolidação das plantações florestais e da ampliação industrial. Este artigo aborda a evolução temporal da produção, importação, exportação e consumo aparente dos painéis de madeira no Brasil entre 1961 e 2016. Os dados foram extraídos do sistema FAOSTAT da FAO. Os produtos analisados foram agrupados em: chapas de fibras e duras, MDF+HDF, OSB, partículas, compensados, partículas e OSB e outros. Foram produzidas 218 M t de painéis nesse interstício temporal, dos quais38% de Compensados, 23% de Partículas, 20% de MDF+HDF,10% de Chapas duras de fibras, 6% de Partículas+OSB, 2% de OSB e 1% de Outras. Historicamente Compensado foi o tipo de painel mais produzido no Brasil, mas atualmente MDF+HDF o superam (39%), assim como Partículas (29%). Todavia, Compensado segue notoriamente como o principal produto de exportação na série histórica. As exportações superam as importações em quantidade, resultando em balanço positivo. O maior produto de importação é Chapas duras de fibras. O consumo aparente segue parcialmente as tendências da produção, mas como a maior parte do Compensado produzido no Brasil é para exportação, seu consumo interno atual é de apenas 6%. O consumo per capita de painéis de madeira saltou de 3 em 1961 para 34 m3.hab-1.ano-1 em 2016. Concluiu-se que os painéis de madeira desempenham importante papel na indústria florestal e que os produtos de partículas e fibras estão ganhando o mercado interno, enquanto os painéis laminados ainda são o carro-chefe nas exportações.
