The small factory has fallen down in advance
“A depression!†Mr. Wu, a Xiamen-based merchant who has been working on mahogany furniture for many years, recently couldn’t help but sigh to reporters. “In economic downturn, some small mahogany furniture processing plants in Guangzhou have closed down first, and some processing plants are still operating. However, in order to save costs, it has also been greatly laid off and made people feel guilty."
Mr. Wu said that not only in Guangzhou, although Xiamen is not a mahogany furniture manufacturing base, several small-scale mahogany furniture production plants have also begun to close or “temporarily†close the door.
As the country's major producer of mahogany furniture, Xianyou can be described as the "wind vane" of the market. Yesterday, the reporter interviewed Mr. Li, a producer of rosewood furniture in Xianyou. Mr. Li told reporters that Xianyou's mahogany furniture industry had developed too fast before, but since the second half of last year, sales and production have been affected successively. At the same time, labor costs, store rents and other expenses have been rising, which has seriously affected this. In this context, some companies naturally cannot afford to fall.
Sales fell by more than 50%
The upstream processing industry is in crisis and naturally affects the retail market. In a mahogany furniture store near Wolong Xiaocheng, there are a few red papers with the words “promotional†on the doorstep. All kinds of “selling price†and “direct selling price†are quite eye-catching. Even so, according to the staff of the store, it still failed to attract the residents. "It is usually only busy with flies."
“Compared with the same period of last year, the sales volume of mahogany furniture in the current Xiamen market is estimated to have dropped by more than 50%.†Peng Jianchu, director of the Redwood Furniture Professional Committee of the Fujian Collectors Association, revealed. According to the investigation by the reporter, in the area of ​​Jinshang Road, one or two small mahogany furniture stores were closed.
It is worth noting that China's mahogany materials are basically dependent on imports, while the prices of international mahogany materials have not fallen, and the tariffs on the origin of mahogany such as Laos and Vietnam have been raised, and the cost of raw materials is actually increasing. At the same time, staff costs and store rents in the retail market are also rising. "Now the slightly larger stores are eating old books, basically zero profits, and some stores have lost money." Xiamen Liannian Redwood Furniture Company said. Can the new national standard save the city?
The reporter learned that the current downturn in the mahogany furniture, on the one hand, is related to the sluggish environment. "The economic downturn, people are nervous, naturally will reduce the consumption of mahogany furniture." Peng Jianchu told reporters, in addition, some time ago due to the popularity of mahogany furniture market, in pursuit of huge profits, all kinds of counterfeit products continue to appear, seriously damaging consumption Confidence.
It is reported that the National Standard for General Technical Conditions of Redwood Furniture announced by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Administration will be officially implemented on August 1. The new national standard clearly stipulates that each piece of mahogany furniture must be accompanied by a "born paper" - "Redwood Furniture Product Quality Express Card". Consumers can use the "Redwood Furniture Product Quality Express Card" as evidence of appeals and claims once they find that the purchased mahogany furniture is not right.
Industry insiders expect that the new national standard can regulate the mahogany furniture market and revitalize consumer confidence to a certain extent in the context of the economic recovery.
