The number of furniture exports continues to decline, and the shortage of design talents limits development.

Like many other export industries in China, rising costs have made the profits of furniture exports thinner and thinner. The total amount of furniture exports in July was US$4.14 billion, down 6.2% year-on-year. Prospective Industry Research Institute “2013-2017 China Furniture Industry Market Environment and Import and Export Market Analysis Report” showed that in the first half of the year, the total sales of furniture industry in Guangdong Province was 109.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%. Although Guangdong still ranks China's furniture export leader with nearly half of the national market share, compared with the 8% increase in Guangdong furniture industry sales in the first half of the year, exports are inferior, with a year-on-year increase of only 4.4%.

Not only must we face problems such as rising labor costs, but the “trees and regulations” that continue to appear in the European and American markets have also directly affected the export of Chinese furniture. The United States once again raised the threshold for the import of wood products, making the export of wood products worse. Recently, export markets such as Europe and the United States have continuously introduced new regulations. Following the EU's implementation of forest FSC certification for wood and wood products in March this year, at the end of May, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed two proposed regulations to improve the environmental standards for imported wood products. Among them, particleboard is required to be a complete release of formaldehyde. It is 1000 times higher than the Chinese standard. After preliminary evaluation, if the production according to the new US standards, the cost of wood-based panels is expected to increase by 30% to 50%, and the cost of wood-based furniture based on wood-based panels will increase by 15% to 20%.

Although the harsh standards of the European and American export markets have caused Chinese furniture companies to suffer heavy losses, in the Russian market, Chinese furniture presents another picture. As Russia increases its pace of construction in the Far East, the demand for furniture continues to rise. However, the furniture manufacturing industry in the Far East of Russia has not yet formed a scale and production costs are high. "Made in China" furniture products have entered the Russian market with its advantages of aesthetics, practicality and cheapness. Floors, wardrobes, wallpapers and decorative products are especially favored by Russians. In the first half of this year, the furniture export revenue of Suifenhe City in Heilongjiang reached US$14.17 million, a year-on-year increase of 4934.41%.

Nowadays, the transformation and upgrading of the furniture export industry is imminent, but many industry shortcomings directly hinder the development of the Chinese furniture industry. The shortage of designers directly affects the international competitiveness of the Chinese furniture industry. According to reports, at present, 70% of Chinese-made furniture is “digested” locally, while 80% of furniture produced in Spain and Italy is used for export. The difference is reflected in the design.

At present, the number of domestic furniture designers is very limited. Many design institutes and designers are not closely connected with manufacturers. Some designs have “no price in the market” or “no price in the market”. In the furniture province of Guangdong, there are nearly 10,000 furniture companies, but the number of designers born in the class is less than 1,000. In other words, every 10 furniture companies in the region can only “share” one professional designer.

In the current situation of low-margin furniture in China, the shortage of designers has caused the consequences of most companies' “follow-up” imitation. Nowadays, the plagiarism of the entire domestic furniture industry has become a "style."
