First European Quality (FEQ) is a standard for lumber with no knots, cracks, sapwood, or insect holes and is the highest-graded wood within teak and has effective use in European countries. FEQ lumber stripes exhibit a crown, grain, grainless, or semi-type and are commonly utilized in the marine industry for yacht or boat building and to manufacture furniture and outdoor decking. Middle East Quality (MEQ) is a standard for teak with one or two defects in the condition of saps or knots and is usually exported to Middle Eastern countries. MEQ lumber stripes exhibit either a grain or a grainless type and are commonly used in buildings or the construction industry. High-quality lumber, such as clear or select-grade lumber, typically offers opportunities in applications where aesthetics and quality are paramount. Artisans and craftsmen utilize premium standardized lumber for creating unique, handcrafted items such as cutting boards, sculptures, and decorative objects. Moreover, increasing demand for FEQ & MEQ lumber in the marine and construction industry and consumers' demand for custom-made furniture significantly propelled the growth of the FEQ & MEQ lumber market. However, due to strict government regulations, huge costs and more waste impede the adoption of FEQ & MEQ lumber. In addition, developing advanced and novel FEQ & MEQ lumber and rising sustainable forestry practices related to lumber is expected to create tremendous opportunities for market development.
