a rational recovery of the product price, a shift in mind to take positive reactions
influenced by a variety of factors including the risen price of upstream chemical materials, the ‘environmental-friendly storm’ and the ‘cutting overcapacity’ policy in china, the raw material prices of home & gift industry have gone up in different degrees and the product price has also recovered to a normal level. under such background, low price selling no long serves as the competitiveness of home & gift industry; several rounds of ‘shuffling the cards’ as elimination process of the inferior companies have rendered the leading enterprises even more powerful and their status more solid in the industry.
mr. yi, managing director of anxi yingfa home furnishing co., ltd, said that the iron price had only increased for 8% compared to that of 20 years ago, thus current industrial price fluctuation was beneficial to the industry in a long term. with the price going up, a number of low price but unqualified enterprises will be eliminated in the competition, which will push more enterprises to invest capital and resources in product design and operation upgrade, raising the added-value of their products to get an upper hand in bargaining price.
to cope with the pressure brought up by the risen cost, some enterprises innovate to change their product design by varying the proportion of different materials (i.e. wood, iron, ceramic and plastic) used in their products and substituting them with cheaper materials to remit the impact of the increased cost.
jinhan fair, as an efficient trading platform connecting chinese manufacturers and international home & gift market, has always strived to select and attract more outstanding exhibitors and qualified enterprises to come and participate. we keep upgrading the inner quality of the exhibition in order to satisfy various and multi-layer procurement requirements of different buyer, helping global buyers to search for the latest product with highest market potential and look for the qualified suppliers in china and other asian countries.
seek for a breakthrough with diversified layout, confront global competition with no evasion
global trade has been recovered since 2017 and after two years' decrease, china's foreign trade finally returns to the stable and prospectively going upward. however, the rising ideological trend of anti-globalization, together with the aggravation of protectionism and the uncertainty of global economic recovery, has created a complex economic environment for enterprises to survive and thrive. many enterprises are now undergoing secret transformation to raise its value in the production chain.
some enterprises have changed their thinking mode and started liberating themselves from being mere producers or suppliers; they try to get rid of the oem/odm mode and create their own brands. by establishing companies and warehouses in europe, they optimize their product design and quality, moq, logistics and transformation and delivery term in an overall scale to participate in the competition with local suppliers in the european and american market, carrying out a new road of' oversea exploration' for chinese home & gift enterprises.
mr. zhang, managing director of qingdao fuhai home furnishings utensils co., ltd, suggested that the previous trading mode of making money through price disparity had gone under recession, while building one's own brand was the new trend. we try to jump out of the traditional thinking pattern, going abroad to participate in the direct competition with european local supplier. we also plan to open retail stores in europe in the future to gather first-hand information on consumer habits and preferences.
