According to statistics released by the reporter on the China Government Procurement Network and the "China Government Procurement News," more than 1,600 furniture items were publicly tendered in 2011, and the total bid amount exceeded RMB 2.1 billion, a record high.

In 2011, the international economic environment was complicated. The impact of the debt crisis in the United States and Europe led directly to the shrinking of external demand and furniture exports were greatly affected. On the other hand, the sluggish property market in the country has also dragged down domestic market demand, coupled with factors such as rising prices of raw materials, increased labor costs, and power shortages, making the furniture industry a difficult one. In this context, the government procurement furniture market provides a vast world for the entire furniture industry.

In addition to educational furniture procurement, procurement of office furniture by various government agencies and institutions, such as business administration buildings, training centers, libraries, and **, is still the main force of the government procurement furniture market, and it has steadily accounted for nearly 40% of the market's purchase scale.

Looking at the government procurement furniture market in 2011, the trend of the year 3 fell 3 times, and the fluctuation was more obvious. January continued the year-end purchasing peak momentum of the previous year. Both the number of projects and the amount of winning bids performed better, setting a good example for furniture procurement throughout the year. Since then, due to the Chinese New Year holidays, the government procurement furniture market ushered in the first trough of the year, and the purchasing scale in February dropped sharply.

In the following months, the temperature rose steadily, and the number of projects in March and April gradually returned to the level in January. The bid winning amount also began to approach the 150 million yuan level in April. In May, the market was adjusted again. The winning bid amount in this month dropped sharply and became the second lowest in the whole year. However, the number of projects in this month has increased significantly compared with the previous month. This also indicates that the current round will not last long. .

With the approach of the summer vacation in June, many educational procurement projects began to tender, which also enabled the monthly winning bid rate to quickly return to the level in April, and the number of projects was a record high in the first half of the year. After the time entered the second half of the year, the government-purchased furniture market continued to thrive with strong momentum, and soon ushered in the culmination of the year. The number of projects in July and August exceeded 500, and the winning bid also exceeded 200 million yuan in August. According to past experience, this round of market climax will be over with the end of the summer holiday, which is also confirmed by the number of projects. The number of projects completed in September was basically the same as the previous low tide in May. However, the appearance of unexpected super-projects caused a miracle in September. The project with a total value of 130 million yuan pushed the bid winning amount in September to the highest point of the year, reaching 370 million yuan.

In October, the market finally fell back to the third lowest point of the year, and the number of projects and the amount of winning bids have dropped significantly. However, as soon as the peak of traditional purchases approached at the end of the year, the market began to pick up again in November, and reached the last peak of the year again in December. The number of projects in December reached 433, and the bid winning amount also exceeded 250 million yuan.

Large-scale expansion of scale in 2011 is a significant increase in the size of the government procurement furniture market, and the pull of large projects is significant. According to the "China Government Procurement News" statistics, in 2011 the government procurement furniture market over 1 million yuan won the bid more than 430 projects, accounting for 27% of the total number of projects throughout the year, more than 100 more than in 2010.

In January, September, and December, the number of projects with more than 10 million yuan was the largest, exceeding three. In September, a big bill of more than 100 million yuan appeared.

In 2011, the total amount of successful bids for the top ten items of government procurement furniture was 30.715 million yuan, accounting for nearly 1.47% of the total bid amount for the year. Among them, the procurement quota for desk and chair of Guangxi Kevin Tendering Co., Ltd., which occupies the top ten list “Top Champion” and “Secondary”, and the bidding amount for purchases of furniture of Chengdu Housing Security Center (second and third phases) are all over 40 million yuan. , respectively, 133.42 million yuan and 45.69 million yuan, far higher than the 2010 top ten projects the highest bid amount.

In 2011, the government procurement furniture market attracted the attention of the top ten winners of the project, the “champion” Guangxi Kewen Tendering Co., Ltd. desk and chair purchase project, the project winning bid amounted to more than 130 million yuan, accounting for the total amount of the year winning bid. Nearly 6%. Such a large order is extremely rare in the purchase of educational furniture of the past. It is also the emergence of this large single, in one fell swoop in September furniture procurement scale pushed to the 2011 "best."

In the 2011 government procurement of the top ten furniture projects, educational furniture procurement projects are also very eye-catching, occupying four seats in the list. The total amount of winning bids for these four projects exceeded 180 million yuan, accounting for nearly 58% of the total amount of the top ten projects in the year. Comprehensive procurement of government procurement throughout the year, the size of educational furniture procurement can be almost equal to the traditional purchase of office furniture procurement.

In addition to educational furniture procurement projects, there were also 2 furniture procurement projects for affordable housing in the 2011 government procurement furniture ten projects, Chengdu Housing Security Center furniture (second and third phase) procurement projects and Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone Foxconn Thirteen Avenue Blue White Collar Apartment Furniture Purchase Project. The total winning amount of these two projects reached 60.06 million yuan, accounting for nearly 2% of the total amount of the top ten projects in the year.

The furniture purchased by these two major projects is mainly apartment furniture, which also reflects the characteristics of the purchase of affordable housing furniture. The affordable housing that requires the government to allocate furniture is usually low-rent housing and public rental housing. Therefore, apartment furniture suitable for low-rent housing and public rental housing is the main content of such procurement. From a year-round perspective, in 2011, as the country’s investment in affordable housing construction increased, government procurement items for affordable housing furniture increased significantly from 2010.

Inventory of the top ten hot spots in the furniture industry in 2011:

1. Guangzhou office environment exhibition interpretation of modern office space On March 27, 2011, the 2011 Guangzhou International Furniture Fair (office environment exhibition) kicked off in Guangzhou. This is the only professional exhibition in Asia that aims to fully demonstrate the “big office environment”. The three-day Guangzhou office environment exhibition is dominated by modern office furniture displays, with lighting, floor covering materials, wall materials and acoustic equipment. It is a trade event that focuses on the achievements of various disciplines in the office environment. The exhibition aims to provide a package solution for modern office space planning, environmental design and supporting facilities.

2. The first national-level technology center in the furniture industry was launched. On March 28, 2011, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “Notice of the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission on Organizing and Applying for the 2011 (No. 18 Batch) State-Ascertained Enterprise Technology Center”. For the first time, the furniture industry was included in the "key areas identified." After months of review, the Guangdong Federal Furniture Group has become the first enterprise in the furniture industry to receive a "National Enterprise Technology Center." This means that the traditional furniture industry has the ability to further research and development in technology, but also shows that the furniture industry has developed to a new stage of industrial upgrading and industrial transformation and upgrading.

3. All localities promulgated office furniture allocation standards to strengthen management. In order to strengthen the purchase and management of general office equipment in central administrative units, the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing Budgetary Standards for General Office Equipment Furniture Purchase Expenses (for Trial Implementation) in April 2011. . Since then, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places have also introduced or updated the furniture configuration standards. The introduction of such standards not only helps all levels of departments to regulate their own asset management, but also provides suppliers with a specific reference price, which has guiding significance for government procurement of office furniture.

4. The procurement results of the national mining center fixed-point furniture were released. In July 2011, the successful bid for the fixed-point purchase project of office furniture of the Central Government Government Procurement Center in 2011 was released. The project has attracted many companies in the industry to come for bids. The reason is that in addition to the honors and aura of attraction of the “National Sourcing Center's designated suppliers,” the “big cake” of the office furniture of the National Mining Center itself has also made the enterprises blind. After development in recent years, the National Mining Center has incorporated furniture purchases from most central units into the centralized purchasing track, and its purchase scale has also entered a relatively stable stage.

5. Trade Barriers Affecting Furniture Exports On July 1, 2011, the United States "Formaldehyde Bill for Composite Wood Products" was formally implemented, together with the "Layers Act" amended at the end of 2010 and the "Country of Origin Labeling Act" promulgated by the European Union. China's export furniture faces unprecedented policy barriers. These three decrees have seriously affected the furniture export trade in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Furniture exports from Guangzhou, Zhongshan, and other places all dropped year-on-year. According to industry analysts, the intensive introduction of overseas furniture standards will affect 30%-40% of China's export enterprises.

6, Leonardo da Vinci incident triggered industry integrity crisis July 10, CCTV "Weekly Quality Report" on the high-end home sales brand Da Vinci home survey, found that the brand's high-end furniture is not as its external claim is " "Imported original", but by a Dongguan company OEM production, through a series of operations sold overseas and return to the country. A stone provokes a thousand waves. The lack of supervision of the furniture companies themselves and the neglect of the topic of good faith management are back to sight. How to strengthen supervision of the industry, and even promote a set of targeted integrity management system, China's furniture industry has a long way to go.

7. Accelerated industrial transfer by furniture companies On September 26, the Xiangjiang Global Home CBD, which was invested by the Southern Xiangjiang Group with a total investment of 12 billion yuan, officially started. With fierce competition in the market, government policy orientation, and rising operating costs, pressure has begun to allow furniture manufacturers in the coastal areas to migrate their manufacturing industries and establish production bases in Henan, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Hubei. In order to comply with this trend, inland provinces and cities have launched the furniture industry park project. These furniture industrial park projects will play a good role in reconstructing the Chinese furniture industry.

8, furniture sales into the e-commerce era This year, many furniture companies gradually discovered the potential value of e-commerce, have joined them. On November 11th, 2011, all the famous online retail stores such as Taobao official flagship store and Qumei Taobao official flagship store sold more than 15 million units in one day. Not only that, Jingdong Mall, Vanke Eslite and other companies starting with e-commerce are also involved in furniture retail. In the current situation where the furniture industry finds its way into the cracks, furniture companies are involved in e-commerce, and traditional channels complement e-commerce. This is a good choice.

9, furniture bulk procurement set the tone In October 2011, Assistant Minister of Finance Wang security pointed out that the Ministry of Finance will be based on the experience of the trial, based on the gradual selection of appropriate items to develop reference configurations, expand the scope of bulk procurement. Furniture cabinets, secret cabinets, bookcases, and conference tables in furniture products are items that have strong universality, uniform technical specifications, and easy collection. This set the tone for the implementation of bulk centralized procurement of furniture. Bulk centralized procurement can achieve economies of scale, reduce prices, and facilitate the standardization and large-scale production of office furniture.

10. A number of national standards for furniture were introduced at the end of 2011. The National Standard for Upholstered Furniture and other four national standards related to upholstered furniture were formally introduced. This is the first time that the country has specifically established production inspection standards for soft furniture. These rigorous standards have been introduced intensively, which may increase the production and marketing costs of enterprises in the short term. However, in the long run, this will be of great benefit to the self-restraint and self-restraint of the Chinese furniture industry. If companies voluntarily comply with standards, in the future, Chinese furniture will bypass many artificially set trade barriers in the process of going global.
