The Chinese furniture industry has gone through its early stages of development over the past three decades and is now in a mid-growth phase. It is expected to reach a more mature stage around 2015. According to partial data, total retail consumption in society increased by 15.5% in 2009 compared to the previous year, with the furniture sector growing at a much faster pace—35.5% higher than construction, building materials, and automotive industries. In the first three quarters of 2010, overall retail sales rose by 18.3%, while the furniture industry saw a staggering 38.4% growth, making it the fastest-growing sector.
Currently, China's furniture production accounts for 25% of the global market, solidifying its position as the world's leading furniture manufacturing country. In 1978, during the early years of reform and opening up, the domestic furniture market was worth only 1.3 billion yuan. Today, that figure has surged 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 what can be called the "year of stability" for the furniture industry. Industry standards are becoming clearer, and the characteristics of the sector are becoming more distinct. The development of the industry is maturing rapidly. Looking at the key transformations and developments in the following areas:
**First, the formation of furniture factions and the start of competition**
Although there are many players in the market, strong first-tier manufacturers will eventually stand out and become industry leaders. The market will gradually evolve into a landscape where leading brands, top-tier companies, and other manufacturers coexist.
**Second, financing, listing, transformation, and upgrading**
The furniture industry requires capital support. During the unprecedented financial crisis, even small and medium-sized enterprises felt the pressure on their cash flow. Large furniture companies, once considered financially stable, have also started to rethink their strategies and are eager to attract investment. In the retail sector, companies like Red Star Macalline, which listed in 2012, and others such as Hundred Years, Huayuanxuan, have been actively seeking listings on the GEM. Meanwhile, Dafuhao Furniture and Jinsheng Home have also hinted at future IPO plans.
This trend isn't limited to retail or distribution; it's also happening in manufacturing and service sectors. For instance, the Shenzhen Furniture Industry Association has explored going public through projects like exhibitions, stores, industrial education colleges, and furniture newspapers. Some furniture companies have already completed management standards and are preparing for pre-IPO stages, selecting professional advisory agencies to speed up their journey toward an initial public offering.
**Third, the maturity 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, serving as a platform that integrates the entire industrial value chain. Industrial real estate includes elements such as industrial shops, supporting office buildings, hotels, standardized workshops, exhibition centers, R&D facilities, information hubs, logistics warehouses, and more. It combines industry resources with R&D, production, display, trading, exhibitions, design, communication, promotion, offices, and financial services into one cohesive system. This creates regional industrial clusters, forming a large-scale industrial transaction and distribution platform that spans hundreds of kilometers or even globally.
