On May 7 , the "Seminar on the Impact of the Japanese Earthquake on the Chinese Furniture Industry" was held in Dalian, and the event was hosted by the Dalian Furniture Association. President of Dalian Furniture Association Wang Junpeng, Vice President Xu Xingguo, Fan Yonghua, Secretary-General Hu Zhinan, and representatives of more than 30 enterprises including Guangming and Noda Furniture attended the meeting. The meeting discussed the impact of the Japanese earthquake and post-earthquake reconstruction on the Chinese furniture industry, especially on the Dalian furniture industry, and the business opportunities it brought. Mr. Abe Noyomi, President of Toyo Home Furnishing Information Agency of Japan, also paid great attention to the seminar and wrote a report on the current situation of the Japanese furniture market after the earthquake. The impact of the Great Japan Earthquake on Japan's social economy is comprehensive. Among them, Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, and Fukushima Prefecture, which are particularly severely affected, are precisely Japan's main furniture sales and production areas. According to Mr. Abe's statistics, only 463 furniture retail stores have been affected in the above-mentioned areas. In addition, many manufacturing companies and wholesalers have been affected to varying degrees. Although the earthquake did not cause a fatal blow to the Japanese furniture industry, it may take more than half a year to return to the pre-disaster sales state. In the short term, furniture sales in the Kanto region are expected to decrease by about 10% , while furniture sales in the Kanto region It accounts for about 40% of Japan, which means that the overall sales of the Japanese furniture market will fall by more than 3% -5% . China is Japan's main furniture exporter. In 2010 , Japan imported 217 billion yen of furniture from China, accounting for 58.2% of the total imports. Dalian is an important base for Chinese furniture exports to Japan. Therefore, the Japanese earthquake will have a certain impact on Chinese furniture, especially Dalian furniture exports in the short term. But in the long run, the business opportunities that the Japanese earthquake will bring to Chinese furniture will far outweigh the impact. According to Mr. Abe, the rescue work after the earthquake is basically over, and the key work is gradually shifting to post-disaster reconstruction. Japanese Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda said that the government estimates that the 2011 supplementary budget for the post-earthquake reconstruction will "exceed the Hanshin Earthquake" and the amount will exceed 3.2 trillion yen. Credit Suisse and Barclays Bank predict that at least post-disaster reconstruction will 180 billion US dollars, some forecasts even estimate the cost as high as 1 trillion US dollars. The huge amount of capital investment will definitely drive the growth of Japan's domestic demand and foreign trade. Some experts predict that post-disaster reconstruction will bring Japan an economic development period of not less than five years, and the demand for furniture, building materials and other products closely related to post-disaster reconstruction will surge. . The president of Dalian Furniture Association, Wang Junpeng, confirmed this forecast with the surge in exports of Jinling Beds to Japan after the Hanshin earthquake. According to reports, the orders for Jinling Beds from Japan surged by more than 47% three months after the Hanshin earthquake. The production capacity poses great challenges, and the competition for transportation resources is also very fierce. He expects that the Japanese earthquake will have a longer impact period, but the business opportunities for reconstruction after the earthquake will also be greater than the Hanshin earthquake. In addition, the earthquake will further accelerate the outward transfer of the Japanese furniture industry. The turbulence caused by the earthquake to the Japanese furniture industry has made many furniture companies soberly aware of the fatal crisis brought about by the geographical environment with frequent natural disasters on their production. The issue of industrial transfer has once again attracted attention. As a "Chinese solid wood furniture industry base", Dalian has close exchanges with the Japanese furniture industry, and has a solid industrial foundation. It has naturally become a focus area for the Japanese furniture industry to transfer abroad. The success of Japanese furniture companies such as Noda and Zengben in Dalian is also other Of Japanese furniture companies have built confidence in building factories. In February this year, Takayama City, one of Japan ’s major furniture producing areas, organized a furniture inspection group headed by Mayor Kojima Fangming to conduct a joint inspection and conducted a related matter with Dalian City ’s furniture industry on the establishment of a Japanese furniture company to establish a continuous factory. depth discussion, the end of May, the island country Fang Ming, Dalian Mayor will visit again, Japan is still the key issues of foreign furniture industry transfer. Data from the China International Furniture (Dalian) Exhibition Organizing Committee also shows that although eastern Japanese buyers scheduled to participate in the Dalian Furniture Fair on June 9th have declined to a certain extent, the number of western Japanese buyers has not been affected The impact, and a slight increase, conservatively estimated that the number of buyers from Japan is basically the same as last year. The organizing committee will use the last opportunity to continue to strengthen the invitation of buyers to Japan, and help exhibitors to fully grasp the changes in the Japanese furniture market in a timely manner and in various ways at the exhibition site, and help exhibitors improve the Japanese furniture market after the earthquake. Share, create a more convenient communication platform, and will play a more active and important role in promoting the overseas transfer of the Japanese furniture industry. Hu Zhinan, Secretary-General of Dalian Furniture Association, believes that Dalian furniture companies should correctly view the decline in export orders to Japan in the short term. The current focus should be to rationalize export channels, enhance production capacity, and increase the degree of attention and development of the Japanese market , Give full play to Dalian ’s port transportation advantages, product structure and quality advantages, exhibition advantages, and actively participate in the development and competition of Japan ’s post-earthquake reconstruction furniture market. Qualified enterprises should also use various platforms to increase the introduction of Japanese capital and technology Intensity.
