This brings more confidence to the investors as well as professionals to take part in the Cairo WoodShow, which has become a leading platform for wood and woodworking machinery experts and companies from different parts of the world.
It should also be noted that residential building applications dominated the global wooden furniture market share, accounting for over 66 per cent of the global demand in 2018.
Residential uses include upholstered, non-upholstered, bedroom, kitchen cabinet, and dining room. Strong growth in the real estate sector, rapid urbanization, and rise in per capita incomes are among the key factors driving the industry share.

With Egypt having its wood-based furniture domestic production valued at $750 million, and over 3,800 companies registering with the Egyptian Furniture Export Council, Cairo WoodShow has already found a niche market among buyers and experts in Africa and Mena Region.

25 -year study states that forests with five tree species capture 57% more carbon compared to monocultures
Mixed forests store more carbon and strengthen the fight against climate change forests play a fundamental role in carbon capture and storage, which helps reduce the speed of global warming. However, not all forests have the same capacity for carbon absorption and retention. A recent study of the University of Friburg has shown that mixed forests, those that contain various tree species, are significantly more efficient in carbon capture than monocultures. These findings reinforce the importance of promoting forest diversity as a key strategy against climate change.
