Pear wood is generally less expensive than rosewood. Rosewood, known for its rich color and unique grain patterns, is a highly sought-after wood in the furniture and musical instrument industries. Its rarity and the difficulty in obtaining it due to strict international trade regulations make rosewood significantly more expensive than pear wood. According to the International Trade Centre, the price of rosewood can be up to 10 times higher than that of pear wood. This discrepancy is primarily due to the demand for rosewood in luxury goods and the challenges in sourcing it legally. Pear wood, while also used in high-quality furniture and instruments, is more readily available and thus less expensive.
