In the current landscape, many home stores have shifted their focus toward high-end development, moving away from their traditional positioning. However, it's important to note that the high-end market still represents only a small portion of the overall industry. High-end customers are highly brand-conscious and require long-term brand building. For stores or brands aiming to enter this segment, they must meet higher standards in product R&D, quality, service, and brand reputation. "In the coming year, we will continue to focus on the high-end market, taking a steady and gradual approach to increase our share," emphasized the head of a leading wooden door brand.
While the mid-market is seen as a potential breakthrough for many industry players, the challenges are significant. The mid-range customer base typically has limited income sources and is highly sensitive to macroeconomic fluctuations. In 2012, due to slower economic growth and shrinking downstream furniture markets, many mid-tier consumers shifted toward lower-cost options or even moved into the high-end segment. To maintain sales and growth, manufacturers implemented new product strategies, extended market penetration, and launched promotional campaigns, which put pressure on mid-range brands, leaving them caught between two fronts.
The wooden door industry saw a recovery in 2013, with increased M&A activities, overseas plant expansions, and a growing emphasis on branding, digitalization, environmental protection, and high-end customization. These four trends are gaining widespread recognition across the sector.
Trend 1: Branding. As the market moves from a seller’s to a buyer’s market, wooden door branding has become a top priority. Consumers are more aware of brand value, making strong branding essential. Over the past five years, the industry has placed unprecedented attention on brand image, awareness, and reputation. Experts believe we are entering a full-scale brand management era, where brand competition is intensifying.
Trend 2: Digitalization. This trend is evident in internal information systems, iPad-based shopping platforms, digital customer service, and integrated online marketing strategies. Many companies already use iPads in stores to enhance the shopping experience, while online marketing through Baidu and other platforms is becoming more sophisticated. Industry insiders predict a surge in digital competition in 2013.
Trend 3: Environmental Protection. With national policies emphasizing ecological civilization and sustainable development, eco-friendly wooden doors are becoming a major focus. Companies are investing in energy-efficient production, using environmentally friendly materials, and improving the health performance of their products.
Trend 4: High-End Customization. In 2012, the high-end wooden door market showed signs of recovery, with many brands entering this space. High-end products are defined by superior technology, quality, design, and pricing. There are now over 100 types of high-end wooden doors available, with several enjoying significant market presence.
Despite challenges, 2013 still holds promise for the wooden door industry. Major companies are preparing for a new round of competition, and while some brands struggled in 2012, others emerged stronger. Industry leaders believe that crises present opportunities for strategic transformation and asset acquisition.
The market remains polarized, with the high-end and low-end segments showing growth, while the mid-market remains sluggish. However, with favorable policies and continued innovation, the wooden door industry is poised for a positive outlook in the coming year.
