    Doing market research in China and MethodologyDoing market research in China and MethodologyDoing market research in China and MethodologyDoing market research in China and Methodology

    Generally speaking, conducting market research in China is different and

    significantly more challenging than it is in developed countries because of

    1) The size and diversity of the country;

    2) Lack of fully reliable centralized or official information databases;

    3) The change is constant and extremely rapid the whole China economic

    system is far from being in equilibrium

    Therefore, our methodology leverages a combination of resources & activities

    such as secondary research in both Chinese and English, primary research and

    interviews with industry exports, as well as our collective China knowledge and

    industry expertise.

    furniture manufacturers in total. These companies engage in a wide range of

    products including household, office and kitchen furniture, as well as

    mattresses, bedding and parts of furniture. The majority of them are

    small-medium sized producing simple and low value furniture or OEM orders.

    They are geographically centralized primarily in the East Coast provinces. In

    2011, the total furniture output reached 696.49 million pieces of which the top

    five provinces were Zhejiang (180.00 million pieces), Guangdong (162.00

    million pieces), Fujian (111.00 million pieces), Shandong (74.09 million pieces)

    and Henan (34.10 million pieces). Four of the five provinces are economically

    developed coastal areas in the country. In total, the furniture production by

    the five provinces account for about 80.57% of the national production. In

    recent years, Zhejiang has surpassed Guangdong and become the No. 1 in

    China in term of furniture manufacture in 2010 and 2011.

    OEM1 orders currently account for more than 80% of Chinas furniture exports,

    and there are few well-known Chinese furniture brands. However, large

    Chinese manufacturers are moving towards higher value-added production

    and spending more on design and branding instead of focusing purely on price

    competition. This is especially to serve the export market as well as mid-high

    domestic market.

    In 2011, Chinese furniture was exported to over 100 countries (regions), most

    of which are from Asia, North America and Europe. The top 5 exportation

    countries were: United States, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, Australiaand Canada.

    The exportation value of Chinese furniture has grown rapidly in the first

    decade of 21st century. In 2008, it reached it peak point at US$ 42.79 billion.

    Yet, the total value of Chinese furniture export dropped to US$ 38.96 billion,

    fell by 8.95% in 2009 due to the world financial crisis compared with 2008. As

    the worldwide economic recovery proceeds in 2010, the global demand for

    furniture is growing rapidly. In 2010, the total exportation value of Chinese

    furniture accounts by US$ 50.61 billion, with a 29.91% increase compared with

    2009.

    On the contrary to its important position in the imported furniture market,

    Italy was only the No.15 among all the countries to which China export its

    furniture product in 2011, accounted by US$ 972.44 million. In 2010, however,

    there is significant increase on the Chinese furniture which rose up to No. 10

    among all the countries to which China export its furniture product with an

    exportation value of US$ 910.07 million and with a 33.67% increase compared

    with 2009.

    5.1 Wooden Furniture5.1 Wooden Furniture5.1 Wooden Furniture5.1 Wooden Furniture

    Wood furniture manufacturing makes up the largest proportion of the Chinese

    furniture manufacturing sector. According to China Furniture Association in

    2010 wood furniture production makes up around 57% of total furniture

    manufacturing revenue and in 2011 it occupies 60% of total furniture

    production revenue. This industry generated revenue of RMB 314.43 billion in

    2011, up 31.10% from 2010.

    Industry profits are low due to low efficiency, high raw material costs, andweak pricing levels across this industry. However, as household disposable

    income levels in China continue to increase in the future, domestic demand will

    continue to increase, and manufacturers will be able to charge higher pricing

    levels for their products

    The major demand factors for products from the Wood furniture

    Manufacturing Industry in China include economic growth, the price of

    substitute products, disposable incomes, increased average per-capita living

    spaces, deployment of the real estate sector, population growth, change in age

    composition of the population, and regular furniture trade events.

    As prices of substitute furniture products manufactured from plastic, metal and

    glass decrease due to lower costs and greater output levels, demand for wood

    furniture decreases.

    According to an industry survey for furniture customers, those aged 20 to 30

    accounted for 42% of the market; those aged 31 to 40 accounted for 22%;

    those aged 40 to 50 accounted for 16%; and those aged 50 to 60 accounted for

    10%. Therefore, young people made up the majority of the industry's final

    customers. It is expected that the number of young adults (20 to 34 years) will

    increase by 77 million between 2005 and 2015. The change in age compositionof the population will bring in more opportunities for this industry.

    The Metal Furniture Manufacturing Industry in China has developed rapidly inrecent years. However, industry revenue decreased in 2009 due to the negative

    influences of global financial crisis and weaker household and commercial

    spending levels.

    Growth has been driven by strong domestic and foreign demand, with exports

    increasing rapidly in the first few years of the current performance period.

    Exports accounted for 36.9% of industry revenue in 2008, peaking at $4.53

    billion for the year. However, exports slumped 26% in 2009, accounting for

    29% of industry revenue. Exports are forecast to remain flat in 2010.

    Competing imports have only made up less than 1% of domestic demand inrecent years.

    Consumers' demand for furniture is influenced by the price of the products.

    Although wood furniture still dominates the furniture market, the increasing

    price of timber and wood products has a positive impact on metal furniture

    demand. In contrast, metal furniture is typically less expensive than wood

    furniture. In addition, with design and color improvements of metal furniture,

    demand for these products is on the rise.

    The development of Metal Furniture Manufacturing Industry in China is also

    sensitive to some regular furniture trade events. The organization of regular

    furniture exhibitions also plays an important part in promoting the industry.

    These display the most fashionable furniture from other countries to meet the

    demand of those who desire imported furniture. Exhibitions also stimulate the

    development of new furniture products from China. Trade fairs are also helpful

    in establishing brand names, promoting exports, and forging international

    co-operation.

    6. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM6. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM6. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM6. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

    On the retail side, chain stores and supermarkets are the most popular sales

    channels in China. Imported furniture is mainly sold in specialty stores and

    high-class furniture shopping malls. In these matured markets, buyers

    increasingly source furniture directly from manufacturers, while some still

    purchase through agents and distributors. Specialised furniture districts are

    popular on the Chinese mainland for both retail and wholesale business.

    Shanghai and Beijing have been the important sales places for all furniture

    companies.

    Independent retailers usually retail one or several different types of furniture.Generally, sales representatives from manufacturers contact independent

    retailers and sell products to them, or independent retailers attend furniture

    exhibitions and negotiate with manufacturers. In China, independent retailers

    are the most competitive in providing specialized guidance and service to

    clients, particularly for medium and high-end products. In the direct sales

    channel furniture is sold to end users in exhibition halls, manufacturers' outlets

    and the internet. In China, office furniture is commonly sold via direct sales, in

    contrast to household furniture, which is more commonly purchased in retail

    and wholesale outlets. Franchised stores are a relatively new concept in China

    for furniture sales.

    Most of the furniture sold in department stores is aimed at high-income

    consumers. Warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers are the largest

    distributors for the low-end segment.

    Many manufacturers produce on an OEM1/ODM2 basis for major foreign

    brands. Some establish their own retail outlets particularly on the mainland

    and hold subsidiaries, branch offices and showrooms in major Chinese cities to

    facilitate domestic sales. Low to medium-end products are often sold in

    furniture hypermarkets. Many factories are built near the hypermarkets In

    order to reduce costs.

    Manufacturers specialised in the production of replicas of Chinese antique

    furniture rely on their established network with overseas agents, wholesalers

    and retailers. In order to meet the taste of the local shoppers, some overseas

    retailers design their "modified Chinese furniture" and engage agents for

    production in the mainland.

    The recent construction boom in many major Chinese cities has resulted in

    significant increases in office space, with significant requirements for officeofficeofficeoffice

    furniturefurniturefurniturefurniture. Most newly constructed prime office space in China now features

    airy, open-concept plans typical of American office layouts. As a result of the

    architectural changes, many companies in China are now converting to

    modular-style office furniture. Companies that upgrade their offices also

    upgrade their office furnishings when they move, creating a significant rise in

    the middle and upper-end office furniture markets.

    At present, there are almost 15,000 star-ranked hotels in China, and it is

    estimated that more than five million hotel rooms require refurbishing and

    upgrading. The development of the tourism industry promotes the

    construction and reconstruction of hotels and meanwhile creates a good

    market for the hotel furniturehotel furniturehotel furniturehotel furniture segment.

    It is to be noted, however, that the current prices for furniture industry in

    China restrict high-end imports to an extremely small market niche. A

    successful strategy in this segment can not ignore the price factor, and

    therefore implies producing in China at local costs. For projects the purchase

    decisions are heavily influenced by price.

    Another trend to be noted is kid furniturekid furniturekid furniturekid furniture. Since China is still carrying out one

    child policy, parents pay special attention to kids living atmosphere. And with

    the rise of family income, rather most of the parents are born in 80s who are

    more open to western living style, thus kid furniture are better accepted. And

    for rich family, imported kid furniture is always the first choice.

    When speaking of furniture materialfurniture materialfurniture materialfurniture material, wood furniture is no doubt No.1 in the

    aspect of production, sales revenue and market proportion. There is a desire to

    embrace natural wood products, while metal furniture is more popular among

    young people; plastic and glass are increasingly replacing wood furniture in

    products such as dining tables and bookshelves; a trend toward green and

    environmentally friendly product has contributed to bamboo and rattan

    furnitures recent popularity. Although solid wood furniture is desired by a

    majority of customers, 70% of the buyers finally select panel furniture, because

    it is cheaper and because it may offer more variety in terms of design. It is

    believed that during the next five years, purchasing concepts among

    consumers will change from seeking cheap, durable furniture to green and

    environmentally-friendly products.

    Another current trend that must be taken into account is product safety, which

    nowadays is frequently and broadly discussed in China for all product

    categories and with significant media coverage. Any health-related problems,even in the form of mere allegations, will bring a heated reaction from the

    market and the press.

    The divide between modern and classic furniture is still there: imported classic

    furniture is still pretty much sought after, as its more recognizable as a luxury

    item by the Chinese consumers, who are comforted in their purchasing choices

    by the similarity of values incorporated in Western classic furniture to their

    own classic Chinese furniture tradition.

    On the other hand, consumers in the younger age bracket, who often have, or

    will have higher incomes, tend to favor modern styles as they complement

    their aspirations to a modern, urban, classy lifestyle. The current quality of life

    improvement in China implies that consumers require more personality and

    comfort from their living space. Trends focus either towards an urban, fast,

    modern lifestyle or a peaceful, natural, old-world lifestyle.

    The Chinese traditional lifestyle focuses on the living roomliving roomliving roomliving room as the main pubic

    relations area. Hence, it has been the only space really worth caring about, and

    spending for, in terms of furnishing. However, this trend is slowly changing,

    especially among higher-income consumers, and the bedroombedroombedroombedroom is gaining

    importance. As families become smaller (1- 3 components), individuals,

    especially young and middle-aged, tend to desire a certain degree of privacy

    and see the bedroom as their private quarters. The importance of a healthy

    sleep is also an underlying trend.

    Having finished equipping bedroom and living room, kitchen furniturekitchen furniturekitchen furniturekitchen furniture enters

    the purchasing list. Usually, kitchen furniture accounts for one fifth of total

    furniture expenses. It is to be noted, however, the kitchens encounter some

    problems. The first one is sub-standard building. Pipelines in the kitchen are

    not laid inside the walls. The water and gas pipes often block the way forkitchen furniture installation. Flatness and walls verticality are often not good

    enough to fix kitchen cabinets.

    Secondly, high-income consumers do not normally use the kitchen personally,

    and are quite satisfied with what their high-end apartments or villas come

    equipped with. Kitchenware encounters cultural obstacles; house ware faces

    stiff local competition. Both can address only a niche market and have to rely

    on effective brand-building. Chinese consumers are in a relatively early stage of

    sophistication and are in a much lesser extent to the items intrinsic quality or

    artistic value.

    8888.... CONSIDERATIONS FOR ITALIAN PLAYERSCONSIDERATIONS FOR ITALIAN PLAYERSCONSIDERATIONS FOR ITALIAN PLAYERSCONSIDERATIONS FOR ITALIAN PLAYERS

    Nowadays, most Italian furniture now is sold in specialty stores or showroomsthrough the local distributors or agents to distinguish with the domestic

    products in China. They mainly focus on high-end customers.

    On one hand, the high-class furniture from Italy is easy to find its market in

    China since high quality and design furnishing products are quite popular

    among the rich people in China; On the other hand, the mid-low class Italian

    furnishing products are very hard to enter China market since they arent not

    competitive compared with mid-high class local products on price.

    Furniture manufactures and trading companies who are conscious of the needs

    of consumers are more likely to succeed in the market. Some customer services

    include: 1) warranties, which are generally offered for one to three years, with

    the most common warranty provision being replacement at no cost or

    monetary refund; 2) repair services, which are expected to become more

    common in the future as Chinese consumers become more aware of their rights.

    Most companies charge for repair services.

    Deficiencies in product quality are common in local production. Some furniture

    enterprises overlook product quality in their pursuit for extra profits. Poor

    production processes, inferior product design, and sub-standard materials are

    common problems

    As furniture in China is mostly made-to-order, delivery time is also an

    important product feature. The delivery time for imported furniture averages

    several months, as compared to several weeks for locally finished products.

    Many savvy Chinese manufacturers now compete successfully with foreign

    manufacturers by offering to finish their locally-manufactured furniture bases

    with coverings made from high quality imported fabrics that they carry in their

    inventory.

    Growth of Chinas high-end furniture market

    Chinas overall luxury market including luxury furniture has grown at

    more than 30% annually in the last decade. At present, the key

    consumer market for high-end imported furniture is in Tier 1 cities of

    Shanghai and Beijing, and a few wealthy Tier 2 cities along the east

    coast of China such as Shenzhen, Wenzhou and Hangzhou, etc.

    High regard for made in Italy and Italian brands

  • 8/10/2019 Market Report Furniture China 2012

    21/50

    21

    Italian furniture is well-known for its creative design, good quality

    and perfect hand-made job. Consumers also generally perceive Italian

    brands as symbols of status and wealth

    Key potential barriersKey potential barriersKey potential barriersKey potential barriers

    Price remains a key barrier for imported Italian furniture, although the

    high-end market is growing

    High cost of transportation and long time of delivery

    Long-term investment return

    There also one more potential risk for the Italian companies - copy. Once theirbrands are successful in China market, then they would possibly face the

    problem that their furniture design could be copied by local small and medium

    manufacturers.

    Considering the market situation, it is better to find suitable Chinese partners

    to enter Chinese market for Italian furniture manufacturers. For those who

    have already entered the China furniture market, they should put more effort

    on the environment of their local showrooms and try to build an atmosphere

    of Italian culture. This will help to give a strong impression to the consumers

    and make Italian furniture different.

    The main opinion leaders are furniture/design magazines and interior design

    professionals. Design Magazines are the main information source for the

    general public, whilst interior design firms are the consultants to those privateclients who are willing to seek out quality products. Their influence may be

    limited to styles, but sometimes it stretches as far as endorsing individual

    brands. Lastly, the manufacturers publicity (more often the distributors) also

    affects the potential customers.

    Brand LoyaltyBrand LoyaltyBrand LoyaltyBrand Loyalty

    Brand loyalty in the furniture market is getting stronger in China. With greater

    product awareness, there is a trend towards consumers preferring to purchasefurniture displaying reputable brand names. This trend will continue to

  • 8/10/2019 Market Report Furniture China 2012

    22/50

    22

    increase as consumers are more quality-conscious and seek value for money. At

    present, brand establishment is mainly in the form of advertising and sales

    promotion. The growing brand-consciousness, however, is somewhatunsophisticated and, thus, detrimental to the perception of quality.

    High income consumers who are willing to pay premium prices for their

    furniture tend to focus on established brand names, and rarely opt for

    high-quality craftsmanship, or one-of-a-kind artistic items. Brand-building is

    particularly hard and expensive to achieve. The lack of promotional investment

    by furniture manufacturers has prompted many successful distributors to

    affirm their own brand.

    Customer AgeCustomer AgeCustomer AgeCustomer Age

    As for the furniture customers, a research conducted by the Shanghai Furniture

    Association in 2006 showed that those aged 20 to 30 accounted for 42% of the

    market; those aged 31 to 40 accounted for 22%; those aged 40 to 50 accounted

    for 16%; and those aged 50 to 60 accounted for 10%. Therefore, young people

    made up the majority of the industry's final customers. It is expected that the

    number of young adults (20 to 34 years) will increase by 77 million between

    2005 and 2015.

    The educational level of customers of modern furniture was generally high.

    Consumer personal income levels directly affect furniture demand. The survey

    showed that those with a monthly household income ranging between $120

    and $360 accounted for 26% of the furniture market; households earning $360

    to $480 accounted for 43%; and those with an income above $480 accounted

    for 31%.

    The type of houses and the living space available offers different opportunities

    for furniture manufacturers. Those who possessed 60 to 80 square meters of

    living space accounted for 30% of the market; 80 to 100 square metersaccounted for 20%; over 100 square meters accounted for 38%.

    11111111.... CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSCONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSCONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSCONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    In China, the industry is still lagged behind of western country in term of scale

    of production and caliber of employee, especially the supplier chain even if

    through these years of development and probably the thorough privatization.

    In addition, China still lacks for specialized manufacturers and skillful workers

    for specialized products.

    The total importation value of Italian furniture in China market is stable in

    2009 despite the world financial crisis. In 2011, total importation of Italian

    furniture reached USD 221.10 million dollars and the importation share rised

    from 4.86% to 7.94%.In China market, it would be good advantages for Italian companies on their

    world class of design, high level of manufacture technique, and advanced

    equipments. But every coin has its two sides, high cost per head, high freight

    fee, high selling costs and appreciation of currency will still be disadvantage for

    Italian manufacture in foreseeing future.

    The point is how Italian enterprises fully use their comparative advantage and

    minimize their disadvantage. Also they need to balance the market niche

    promotion with cost effective strategy.

    For the Italian furniture merchant, they still continue focus on high-class

    furniture market since these Italian furniture brands always have a good image

    as high quality, world-class design and eternity. Their products are welcomed

    by high-end customers in China.

    For the Italian furniture manufactures, they should start looking for

    cooperation with local companies in term of jointly set-up factories,

    corporation joint venture or work as component supplies. This would help

    them to counter the challenge and risk facing in Chinese market.
