Eight Aspects of Furniture Purchasing Focus on Design Innovation to Adapt to Market Changes

In 2013, the office furniture industry was a mixed year. In particular, the policy adjustment has brought shock to the whole industry. The building of the building has been suspended. The office furniture enterprises that are concerned about government procurement have begun to worry about the future performance. The Ministry of Finance has issued the Interim Measures for the Centralized Purchasing Management of Central Budget Units. Incorporate doubts; the pace of urbanization is accelerating, the demand for office furniture is apparent, and there is a huge market in the future. In this issue, from the perspective of government procurement, the eight focus points of the office furniture industry were launched and shared with readers.

NO.1

Guangzhou office environment exhibition innovative design concept

From March 27th to 29th, 2013, the 31st China Guangzhou International Furniture Fair and Office Environment Exhibition was held as scheduled in the China Import and Export Fair. As everyone expects, the 2013 Guangzhou office environment exhibition has reached a record high, both in terms of booth area and exhibition scale. The exhibition area of ​​exhibitors increased from 190,000 square meters last year to 210,000 square meters. The three exhibition areas of office furniture, hotel facilities and public furniture were once again staged. The exhibition included interior designers, large commercial organizations, government agencies, and furniture distribution. All the viewers, including the business, provided a package of commercial space planning solutions including office space, hotel space and public space.

Comments: Every year, the Guangzhou Office Environment Exhibition will become a barometer of the development of China's office furniture industry. At the Guangzhou Office Environment Exhibition in March 2013, the boundaries between office and life began to become more and more blurred. There was more cultural atmosphere in the office space and many manufacturers began to introduce small office space supporting solutions. specialization.

NO.2

Public project furniture procurement faces opportunities

In July 2013, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Notice on the Party and Government Organs Stopping the Building of New Buildings and Offices and Cleaning Up Office Spaces", requiring that party and government organs at all levels should not be in any form within five years. Reasons for the newly built halls and halls, and the projects of the halls that have been approved but have not yet started construction will be suspended.

The "Notice" stipulates that the construction of new buildings and halls will be stopped, and the relocation of buildings and halls will be stopped. It is strictly forbidden to build halls and halls under the name of "college" and "center", and approved the projects of the halls that have been approved but have not yet started construction. All will be discontinued. Party and government organs at all levels may not use any reason to arrange financial funds for the maintenance and repair of various facilities or places with accommodation, conference, catering and other reception functions, including training centers, which have a great impact on furniture enterprises.

Comments: "The provisions of the party and government organs at all levels within five years must not create new buildings and halls in any form and reason" means that the number of office furniture purchased by government agencies will undoubtedly decrease. However, this does not mean that the scale of procurement of government office furniture will decline. On the contrary, various archives and library projects under public construction will continue to increase, and various hospital furniture purchases under the medical system reform will continue. The rural weak school renovation project is still in progress...just the direction of corporate bidding should be Changed, can not blindly focus on the government agencies.

NO.3

Batch collection of office furniture into a trend

On August 21, 2013, the Ministry of Finance issued the Interim Measures for the Centralized Purchasing Management of Central Budget Units (hereinafter referred to as the “Interim Measures”), which will be included in the “Central Budget Unit” promulgated by the State Council from September 1, 2013. The centralized procurement organization's procurement items in the Government's Centralized Purchasing Catalogue and Standards should gradually implement batch centralized procurement, and the central budget unit must strictly implement the relevant regulations on bulk centralized procurement. Article 3 of the Interim Measures clearly states that "the budget for general office equipment and furniture that implements centralized centralized procurement shall strictly implement the "Standards for the Purchase of General Office Equipment and Furniture for Central Administrative Units (Trial)" (Caihang [2011] No. 78) The provisions of the special office equipment, furniture and other procurement items for scientific research, surveying and other special purposes should be budgeted according to the departmental budget approved by the Ministry of Finance."

Comments: Due to the long-term office furniture is a semi-general semi-customized product, the procurement unit with strong standardization procurement requirements and strong customization has different opinions on whether it can realize batch collection. In the actual operation, there is a problem that it is necessary to unify the procurement unit requirements and formulate a perfect and highly operational configuration standard. The former has greater resistance. However, from the background of saving financial funds and promoting the development of the industry, mass collection and mining can promote enterprises to scale and standardize production, reduce manufacturing costs, and save procurement funds.

NO.4

Office furniture design plagiarism needs to be rectified

At the Shanghai China International Furniture Fair held in September 2013, many office furniture booths hang the signs of “Rejecting Domestic Sales” and “Overseas Persons with Invitations to Enter” to actively block the domestic market. Zhu Changling said that enterprises refused to sell domestically in order to prevent plagiarism. Office furniture sales are less than 20% of their total, and they are basically OEMs, and there are very few independent brands. Some foreign companies often complain about Chinese companies' plagiarism, but because their products are not registered in China, it is difficult to protect their patent rights. And even if the style is copied, many Chinese companies will make functional improvements, so law enforcement is very difficult. If there is plagiarism in a domestic enterprise, at most it is a warning to stop the infringement, and there is no substantive way.

Comments: The plagiarism of office furniture design is not uncommon in the industry. Although the organizing committee clearly stipulates that enterprises should come up with original products, there are still corporate designers who are lucky enough to try to get through. Some companies also change the appearance and function of furniture when designing plagiarism, which makes it difficult for original companies to protect their rights. In fact, if the office furniture company does not carry out original design, the entire industry may be difficult to upgrade.

NO.5

Urbanization drives the low-end office furniture industry

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, every 1% increase in urbanization rate in China will drive market demand of 7 trillion yuan. By 2030, China is expected to add 300 million urban residents, and the pace of urbanization will provide a strong and lasting impetus to the domestic demand market. Hou Kepeng, executive chairman of Shenzhen Furniture Industry Association, said that urbanization will bring huge market consumption demand to the furniture industry. New urbanization is not only the needs of families, but related industries such as hotels, tourism and catering will be furniture. A new growth point for the industry. According to international practice, more than 65% of the urbanization rate means that consumer demand tends to be stable. The urbanization rate of the six central provinces is only 45%, lower than the national average. According to the national urbanization rate of 70%, the central 6 The province also has 30% market growth space. At present, the sales of furniture in the six central provinces are obviously better than those in the first-tier and second-tier cities, which is a regional market that cannot be ignored in future furniture sales.

Comments: Some enterprises have captured the signal of market changes, and began to plan for the characteristics of the central region market. Many office furniture companies have launched small office retail furniture for urbanization, innovative materials, and reduced office size, making the overall style small and practical.

NO.6

Ergonomic testing began to enter politics

On October 23, 2013, the Central Government Organs Government Procurement Center and China National Institute of Standardization and Fangyuan Mark Certification Group Product Certification Co., Ltd. held the signing ceremony of the “Three-Party Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement for Human Ergonomics Testing and Verification of Government Procurement Office Products”.

The signing will guide the office furniture designated enterprises to carry out product design improvement and innovation, promote technological progress, and guide the whole society to form a green and healthy consumption concept through the social demonstration effect of government procurement.

Comments: The launch of the ergonomics certification for office furniture has opened the precedent for ergonomic product certification, which is of great significance to improving the overall quality of furniture and promoting the people-oriented concept of furniture design. The National Mining Center provides free ergonomic testing services for purchased products, which has enabled ergonomics to take a critical step in government procurement. The introduction of ergonomics into the field of government procurement can also play a leading role in the development of the industry.

NO.7

Upgrade from environmental protection to environmental protection

On January 4, 2014, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the results of the national supervision and inspection of the quality of wood furniture products, and 31 batches of products did not meet the standards.

Comments: Office furniture has achieved good results in environmental protection, but still can not relax and improve the environmental protection of office furniture, whether the product is environmentally friendly is directly related to the health of users. In addition, the current environmental awareness in the industry is still at the level of product environmental protection, but in fact, environmental protection should not only consider the use of people, but also consider the sustainable use of natural resources.
