The Chinese furniture industry has undergone a period of early development over the past three decades, and is now entering its mid-growth phase. It is expected to reach a more mature stage by 2015. According to partial data, total retail consumption in society increased by 15.5% in 2009 compared to the previous year. The furniture industry outperformed construction, decoration materials, and automobiles by 35.5%. In the first three quarters of 2010, total retail sales rose by 18.3%, with the furniture sector contributing 38.4%—making it the fastest-growing industry during that period.
Currently, China's furniture production capacity accounts for 25% of the global total, making it the world's leading furniture manufacturing country. In 1978, when the country was just beginning its reform and opening-up policy, the furniture market was valued at 1.3 billion yuan. Today, the total market has grown to over 700 billion yuan. With an average annual growth rate of 22.2% over the past 30 years, the industry is projected to reach a total output value of 2.43 trillion yuan by 2015.
We are now entering the "year of standing" for the furniture industry. Industry standards are becoming clearer, and the sector is showing more distinct characteristics, moving toward greater maturity. Here are some key developments and transformations in the industry:
**First, the formation of furniture factions and the start of competition**
Although there are many players in the market, only those with strong capabilities will stand out and become leaders. This will lead to a market structure where top brands, leading manufacturers, and other companies coexist.
**Second, financing, listing, and transformation**
The furniture industry requires capital investment. Even during the unprecedented financial crisis, small and medium-sized enterprises faced severe challenges regarding their capital chains. Large furniture companies, once considered financially stable, have also changed their perspectives and are now eager to seek capital support. For example, Red Star Macalline, which went public in 2012, and companies like Hundred Years and Huayuanxuan have aimed to list on the GEM. Meanwhile, Dafuhao Furniture and Jinsheng Home have also announced plans to go public. Beyond retail, even manufacturers and service providers are exploring IPO opportunities. Some companies have already begun preparing for pre-IPO stages, choosing experienced advisory firms to accelerate their path to the stock market.
**Third, the maturation of retail spaces and the rise of industrial real estate**
What exactly is industrial real estate? According to senior real estate experts, it refers to real estate developed under national industrial planning and policy support. It integrates various elements such as industrial shops, office buildings, hotels, workshops, exhibition centers, R&D facilities, information hubs, logistics warehouses, and more. These developments aim to create a comprehensive industrial ecosystem that combines research, production, display, trading, design, communication, promotion, office services, and financial support. This forms a regional industrial cluster center, building a large-scale transaction and distribution platform that spans hundreds of kilometers or even globally.
