With the end of a series of furniture exhibitions, we have seen many well-known furniture brands in the furniture industry launch a number of new products, while meeting the needs of consumers, but also their own sales. But behind the success of these furniture companies, it hides the crisis that the furniture manufacturing industry will face. The problem of marginalization, labor shortage and environmental protection are all the hurdles that furniture companies must overcome. Once you have passed, you can regain your life. If you don't, you can only be eliminated by this market.
The marginalization of the furniture industry is a foregone conclusion
After all, it is no match for the wave of industrial upgrading and transformation. As a representative of traditional Chinese light industrial products, marginalization seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Recently, Jiangsu Nantong Qidong has issued more than 280 orders for the rectification of the deadline, issued the "On-site Disposal Decision" ordered to stop the production of 83 on the spot, Qidong Songyang Wood Processing Factory, Jiangsu Xinyiyi Wood Co., Ltd., Qi Dongjie 21 enterprises including Fangfang Furniture Factory, Qidong Mujiege Furniture Factory and Qidong Xindi Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. were taken to stop power supply measures, and another 27 were relocated or closed.
No matter who they are, they will move out and one will not stay. This is what happened in Beijing. In the catalogue clearly specified in the Catalogue of Prohibitions and Restrictions for New Industries in Beijing (2015 Edition), the furniture manufacturing industry is the key industry. In fact, since entering the restricted catalogue, tens of thousands of furniture companies have begun to move out intensively. After Beijing, Chengdu ushered in the "winter" period. According to the news, in the new round of industrial restructuring and optimization, about 70% of Chengdu's existing more than 6,000 home furnishing enterprises will be moved out.
For furniture companies, environmental protection is a must. However, due to the large number of the furniture industry, the small size, the weak strength, and the lack of the characteristics of leading enterprises, its pollution prevention and control work is particularly severe. Since the environmental supervision in 2016, the “discontinuation order†and “production limit order†have been affected by the whole country. The environmental storm has blown up thousands of furniture companies. And those who are left, whether they are "going away" or "being away", are helpless.
The problem of labor shortage is getting worse
In the future, with the improvement of living standards, intensive industries, including the furniture industry, will face the dilemma. In the Chinese cultural context, universal work means low status. When survival is no longer a problem, almost no one wants to let go of self-esteem and become a general worker. Some powerful enterprises can still develop in the direction of mechanization and automation to make up for the dilemma of artificial shortage. For small and medium-sized furniture enterprises, this seems difficult to cross.
Most of the older generation who make up the furniture manufacturing community have returned to their hometowns from their hometowns, and the new generation is unlikely to be in this industry. Whether it is a wage level of around 4,000 yuan or a poor working environment, it is no longer young. The ideal state of a generation.
The manufacturing industry has experienced a shift from the coast to the inland and then to the third- and fourth-tier cities. Most of the labor force can find suitable jobs without going out, and the increase in the cost of living is also a factor that they are no longer willing to concentrate in large cities. The huge gap between its high housing prices and wage income makes it difficult for the general workers to have a sense of belonging to their hometown.
It can be seen from the data in recent years that the growth rate of the furniture industry has slowed down markedly, and the general shortage has become the norm in the furniture manufacturing industry. At the beginning of this year, at the recruitment fairs of major furniture companies, the hustle and bustle of the past years is no longer there. The available data shows that compared with the same period in 2017, the total market for general workers in 2018 has shrunk by about 40%.
Zero formaldehyde problem still needs to be overcome
Recently, the industrial and commercial bureaus of Jiangsu and Shanxi have successively announced the quality inspection results of a series of furniture and building materials. Surprisingly, some big brands such as model, red apple, Fumeixin, Ruijia, Shengxiang floor, Xinzhongyuan ceramics, Panpan wooden door, etc., are also listed because of quality problems.
Whether it can really achieve zero formaldehyde has always been a hot topic in the furniture industry. The hype of the media, the advertising of enterprises, and the advertised zero formaldehyde are everywhere, but they have not confirmed their true reliability, and more are staying at Textual expression. On the contrary, from the market feedback, the problem of excessive formaldehyde in furniture is “one after anotherâ€, and some big names are no exception.
There are more and more incidents of excessive formaldehyde in furniture. The investigation found that the furniture brands with excessive formaldehyde have not only those products manufactured by black factories, but also domestic famous brands. Some time ago, the children's furniture exceeded the standard case. The brand covered 13 batches of children's furniture such as “Belet Castleâ€, “Family with Childrenâ€, “Colorful Life†and “Guangming Yuandiâ€. Even a Leather Sofa leading enterprise in Hangzhou also broke out formaldehyde. Exceeded the event.
As consumers' demands for health and environmental protection have increased, many people have been asked to buy so-called zero-formaldehyde furniture on the market. In fact, the zero-formaldehyde process has not reached a certain level, and consumers are more likely to seek comfort. Even solid wood furniture using environmentally friendly adhesives does not mean zero formaldehyde. It is only that formaldehyde is not used in the production process or there is no artificial addition of formaldehyde. There is no guarantee that the finished product will be free of formaldehyde.
As a highly toxic pollutant, formaldehyde has been identified as a carcinogenic and teratogenic substance by the World Health Organization. Furniture and wall painting naturally become the culprit, and it is the main source of formaldehyde pollution. It is allergic to light and carcinogenic. According to the data, more than 80% of households in China are more or less plagued by formaldehyde problems. Similarly, this is one of the difficult problems that furniture companies need to solve now.
The difficulties of marginalization, difficulty in recruiting and formaldehyde have been entangled in the furniture industry. It is a big challenge for large, medium and small furniture companies. Especially the problem of zero formaldehyde is related to the health of consumers, so the furniture industry needs to adjust in time. The internal industrial structure optimizes and upgrades the technology and lays a solid foundation for the elimination of the encirclement. (Source: China Construction News)
