Abstract
The Chinese market represents good opportunities for those interested in exporting building materials, including wood products. One growing building material sector is preservative-treated wood. Fewer than 70 treatment facilities operated in China in 2002 compared with more than 600 currently operating. Sizable quantities of treated product are also imported. China's status as a net wood importer creates sizable opportunities for importers seeking to expand into this market. This article reviews the current status of the treating industry in China, identifies issues related to quality control and the implementation of standards, and outlines critical needs for the continued growth and success of the industry.
