The furniture market is sluggish, the government-purchased furniture market rises against the trend

In 2012, the Chinese furniture market faced the European debt crisis, the export market was not good, and the domestic property market continued to be regulated. Under the influence of multiple factors, the performance of the entire furniture market is sluggish. However, the government-purchased furniture market rose against the trend. According to statistics, in 2012, the procurement scale of the government-purchased furniture market reached nearly 3.6 billion yuan. Looking back at the government procurement furniture market in 2012, green procurement, school furniture procurement , furniture trade-in, and security house furniture procurement became the annual keywords.


Replacement of old furniture

When the furniture-sales enterprise's "trade-in" camp grew stronger in 2012 , the government-level "furniture-for-new" campaign began.

The Beijing Furniture Trade-in Pilot Program will begin on November 1 and end on November 30. According to data released by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, 25,000 pieces of furniture were sold in 30 days, and the value of trade-in sales was 150 million yuan. Trade-in sales accounted for 26% of the total sales of similar furniture. This fully proves that the government-driven furniture trade-in is farther away More powerful than the enterprise market level.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Service Trading Office of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, it is not yet possible to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of the pilot implementation. It is not conclusive whether the follow-up related policies will continue to be implemented and how to proceed.

In addition, the difficulty of recycling is still a problem that plagues furniture trade-in. The relevant person in charge of the recycling company told reporters in the interview that transportation costs and dismantling costs are problems that plague them. In addition, "waste for old" has become another headache, making the already small profit margins compressed again. At the same time, due to the pilot, there is no subsidy for the recycling enterprise, and the enterprise's operating projects have always been in a state of loss.

In the "Twelfth Five-Year" Circular Economy Development Plan released recently, it is proposed to build a circular service industry system to promote the development of circular economy at the social level. Improve renewable resources and garbage classification and recycling systems, and promote green building and green transportation actions. Give full play to the role of the service industry in guiding the establishment of green and low-carbon recycling consumption concepts and transforming consumption patterns. The six major aspects of expanding domestic demand proposed by the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2013 include green and low-carbon recycling consumption. It is reported that the Ministry of Commerce has included the improvement of the recycling system of used goods in the field of "green low-carbon recycling consumption" strongly supported and encouraged by policies next year. With all kinds of east winds, it is not far from spring when furniture is replaced with new ones.

Safe House Furniture Procurement

Looking back at the 2012 furniture project for affordable housing, the procurement of furniture for low-rent housing and public rental housing is the protagonist of such projects.

Taking Beijing as an example, in April 2012, two major public rental housing furniture procurement projects-Beijing Indemnificatory Housing Construction Investment Center Ocean Ocean Qinshanshui Public Rental Housing Furniture Procurement Project and Beijing Public Security Bureau Public Rental Housing Allocation Furniture Project More than 10 million yuan. In December at the end of the year, 8 public rental housing furniture purchase projects including Yanbao · Jingyuan Homeland in 2012-2013, with a purchase amount of 27.554 million yuan, entered the top ten annual targets.

In order to seize the market opportunities brought by affordable housing, companies frequently attack. For example, at the 2012 China International Light Industry Consumer Goods Exhibition held in July, a special furniture theme pavilion for affordable housing was set up. There are more than a dozen exhibiting companies, including furniture from Guangdong and Shenzhen, wealthy people in Shenzhen, Beijing's Qumei and Century 100. The range of affordable housing furniture products on display is diversified, and the overall price of the products is about 20% lower than that of general furniture. High cost performance, functionality, and service are the common characteristics of these products.

However, the traditional government procurement market is mostly office furniture , which makes civilian furniture companies lack understanding of the government procurement market. How to allow such enterprises to participate and obtain relevant demand information more conveniently will be a problem that needs to be solved in the future security housing furniture procurement market.

School furniture procurement

In 2012, although the number of school furniture procurement projects was not large, they all won with "quality", and large scales were frequent. The purchase of school furniture includes the purchase of teaching furniture in elementary and middle schools and colleges, the purchase of apartment furniture , library furniture, laboratory furniture, etc. Among them, the large orders of universities are more concentrated. According to statistics, there were two university apartment furniture projects with a purchase amount of more than 10 million yuan in 2012, with a total purchase amount of 55.318 million yuan.

In addition, as the country pays more and more attention to the people's livelihood projects, the rural compulsory education weak school reconstruction project has become a new growth point. According to statistics, in 2012 such projects generated a total of 3 million yuan in large orders, with a total purchase amount of 42.825 million yuan. These three projects are concentrated in Hubei and Ningxia, and are the second batch of desks and chairs procurement project of Hubei Provincial Education Technology Equipment Department's second batch of rural compulsory education weak school renovation plan, with a purchase amount of 14.7689 million Yuan's "Ningxia Rural Compulsory Education Weak School Reform Project 2012 Teaching Equipment Purchase Project", the purchase amount of 10.3066 million "the third batch of rural compulsory education weak school renovation plan student desks and chairs procurement project." The main furniture purchased for the three projects is student desks and chairs.

The Ministry of Finance issued the “Notice of the Ministry of Finance on the Implementation of the Plan for the Reform of Weak Schools in Rural Compulsory Education” issued by the Ministry of Finance at the end of 2011. Will continue to invest funds to ensure the smooth implementation of the project throughout the country. The rural compulsory education weak school renovation project has become an important part of the school furniture procurement project.

Green procurement of furniture

In the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we focused on the construction of ecological civilization, and proposed to increase the strength of natural ecosystems and environmental protection, and to increase the production capacity of ecological products.

By exerting the macro-control function of government procurement and giving priority to the purchase of environmentally-labeled products that have less negative impact on the environment, it will undoubtedly promote the improvement of corporate environmental behavior, thereby promoting and demonstrating social green consumption.

As an important factor to promote green procurement-the government procurement list for environmental labeling products (hereinafter referred to as the "environmental protection list"), which incorporates "green" indicators on the basis of traditional government procurement, meets the current objective requirements of China's economic development and environmental protection, and also promotes The realization of government green procurement policy objectives. The environmental protection list is twice a year. In the tenth phase of the second half of 2012, the list of items was adjusted and refined to promote the full and effective use of the environmental protection list in government procurement.

At the same time, with the implementation of the inventory system, the emphasis on environmental protection has gradually become a more common sense in the government procurement market. The relevant person in charge of a government procurement center in a place said that when purchasing furniture, the environmental protection list is an important reference for selecting furniture suppliers. For the companies in the list to implement priority procurement, the competitive advantages of the shortlisted companies are reflected to a certain extent. This has certain guiding significance for raising the environmental awareness of suppliers.

For enterprises, maintaining environmental interests has gradually become their conscious behavior in their business activities. The interviewed companies have told reporters that, guided by the environmental protection list, companies have implemented the environmental protection concept from the aspects of technology, process and management.
