Not "calm". Since the exposure of Da Vinci furniture fraud in the Mainland last year, the Chinese furniture industry has fallen into an unprecedented crisis of trust. The reporter learned in the interview of the 111th Canton Fair in the past few days that the impact of this storm has not yet disappeared. "Now the Chinese consumers are not only skeptical about high-end furniture, but even overseas customers know Da Vinci's business. We are afraid that the introduction of our products will bring all kinds of troubles." Ge Xiaoneng said with anger, Chinese furniture exports Europe and the United States encountered "trust barriers", "our furniture went to Italy to participate in the exhibition, but the other side thought it was plagiarism." "The furniture business is now more and more difficult to do." Chen Jianchao, a furniture exhibitor from Zhejiang Linhai, said that including some Chinese furniture One of the reasons why companies are risk-taking and exaggerating publicity is to seek high profits in the fierce market competition environment in mainland China. In fact, China's furniture industry, which accounts for nearly 30% of the world furniture trade, is facing difficulties: shrinking demand in overseas markets, increasing barriers in Europe and the United States, and rising labor costs. According to data released by the China Furniture Association, China has exported furniture in 2011.

It has also increased the expenses of enterprises.†The reporter learned that in the face of the credit crisis and the increasingly severe export environment, the “integrity awareness†and “brand awareness†of Chinese furniture enterprises have increased significantly. Ge Xiaoneng said that in order to eliminate consumers' doubts, the products sold by the company can be tested by consumers, and the company is willing to pay a loss of ten. In addition, its company is also pushing its own brand, has opened stores in Dubai, and is actively looking for franchisees in Europe. Compared with other peers, Guangdong Foshan Hexing Furniture, which entered the furniture industry, is “full of sufficiencyâ€. “We use silk fabrics, there are no environmental problems, and all products are designed independently and will not encounter similar fraud problems. Sitting on the sofa of my own production, the person in charge, Miss Yan, is very relaxed. The reporter saw in his booth that all kinds of European high-end furniture were uniquely designed and different from other brands in the exhibition area. What is more conspicuous is that all the exhibits were marked with the words “patented productsâ€. “Only a bold innovation to be a self-owned brand can gain market recognition.†Miss He said that customers from Europe, America, and the Middle East have a strong interest in their products, and the situation exceeds expectations.
