ANALISIS PELUANG DAN TANTANGAN PERDAGANGAN FURNITURE INDONESIA–CHINA: STUDI KASUS EKSPOR KAYU DAN IMPOR METAL TAHUN 2025

Abstract

Furniture trade between Indonesia and China shows an unbalanced two-way relationship in 2025, particularly in terms of wooden furniture exports and metal furniture imports. This analysis uses secondary data from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), which covers metal furniture imports (office furniture) and wooden furniture exports (excluding wooden smoke cabinets for offices, kitchens, or bedrooms). The analysis shows that Indonesia imported approximately US$46.87 million worth of metal furniture from China, while Indonesia exported only US$4.42 million worth of wooden furniture to China. This reflects an imbalance in trade shares, with imports accounting for approximately 91% and exports only around 9%. This dominance indicates that the Indonesian domestic market remains heavily dependent on technologically advanced manufactured goods from China. On the other hand, Indonesia has the opportunity to increase its wooden furniture exports by leveraging its comparative advantage based on natural resources. However, the main challenge lies in the inadequate competitiveness of the domestic manufacturing sector. Therefore, strategies are needed to increase added value, innovation capabilities, and production capacity to strengthen Indonesia's position in international trade. Perdagangan sektor furniture antara Indonesia dan China pada tahun 2025 menampilkan pola hubungan dua arah yang tidak seimbang, khususnya pada ekspor furniture kayu dan impor furniture metal. Analisis ini menggunakan data sekunder dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) yang mencakup impor furniture metal (furniture of a kind used in offices) dan ekspor furniture kayu (wooden furniture other than fume cupboards of wood not used in offices, kitchen, or bedroom). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa nilai impor furniture metal Indonesia dari China mencapai sekitar US$46,87 juta dan ekspor furniture kayu Indonesia ke China yang hanya sebesar US$4,42 juta Kondisi ini mencerminkan ketimpangan pangsa perdagangan, dimana impor sekitar 91 % sedangkan ekspor sekitar 9%’. Dominasi tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa pasar domestik Indonesia masih sangat bergantung pada produk manufaktur berbasis teknologi dari China. Di sisi lain, Indonesia memiliki peluang untuk meningkatkan ekspor furniture kayu yang didukung oleh keunggulan komparatif berbasis sumber daya alam. Namun, tantangan utama terletak pada rendahnya daya saing industri manufaktur domestik. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan strategi peningkatan nilai tambah, inovasi, dan kapasitas produksi guna memperkuat posisi Indonesia dalam perdagangan internasional.
