Future development direction of furniture hardware accessories and raw and auxiliary materials

In the coming years, numerous domestic exhibitions focused on furniture materials and accessories are set to take place. It is inevitable that many furniture industry associations or exhibition organizers will introduce new initiatives. The special electric business is expected to see significant growth in the future. Asia International Furniture Materials Network, a professional B2B e-commerce platform for furniture hardware and materials, has been serving the Chinese furniture industry for over a decade. From corporate culture to product integration marketing, it has made substantial contributions to the development of the furniture sector. Many international exhibitors have already established deep collaborations with this platform, leading to the gradual integration of furniture hardware and raw material exhibitions into e-commerce. As the exhibition organizers observed national policies, they began to adapt to new trends driven by the need for industry upgrades. Whether it's government policy or market demand, there is increasing pressure on product quality, environmental protection, and health standards—especially for items closely related to people’s living environments. In response, the raw material supply industry has moved from the background to the forefront, actively introducing more advanced materials, processes, and technologies into fields such as wood, panels, rubber, adhesives, paints, leather, and fabrics. However, one major challenge remains: the lack of standardized regulations for furniture materials. While the government has strict rules on chemical materials like coatings and adhesives, other categories such as wood, leather, and fabric still lack clear evaluation standards. This has led to misleading marketing terms like "solid wood" or "imported leather," which often lack credible evidence. Such practices have caused consumer confusion and even incidents like the "Da Vinci" scandal. Despite this, domestic suppliers now have the capability to produce high-standard, eco-friendly materials. Unfortunately, most of these high-end materials are still used in products targeting overseas markets, especially in Europe, Japan, and the U.S., where strict access standards exist. This highlights the crucial role of industry standards in driving overall development. High-end materials often come at a higher cost due to complex production processes and higher raw material requirements. As a result, many small and medium-sized enterprises tend to choose cheaper alternatives. Additionally, the real estate market downturn has further reduced the purchase of raw materials by furniture companies, with import and export volumes dropping by up to 30% in some cases. This presents challenges for suppliers trying to promote advanced materials. Consumers often favor imported products or those made with imported materials, leading to higher prices for foreign-made furniture. Some manufacturers capitalize on this by emphasizing "imported" elements in their marketing. However, many foreign brands actually source materials from China. The difference lies not in the materials themselves but in brand perception, which takes time to build. Domestically produced materials often offer better value for money, giving them a competitive edge. Industry transformation and upgrading require raw material suppliers to integrate and innovate. In recent years, many suppliers have started to step into the spotlight, participating in forums and events that highlight topics like e-commerce, low-carbon solutions, and industry optimization. Large-scale furniture exhibitions have also seen increased presence from raw material exhibitors, with some booths matching the quality of furniture displays. Exhibition organizers are now creating dedicated zones for raw materials and hosting events led by suppliers. Customers of Asia International Furniture Materials Network note that with the push for industrial transformation, more raw material suppliers are focusing on brand communication. Their enthusiasm for promoting new materials and technologies is unprecedented, and their brand image continues to improve. This shift marks a move away from traditional, low-value operations toward a more refined and innovative industry. Some large distributors have also recognized the power of branding through long-term partnerships with foreign high-end suppliers. They now understand the value that strong brands bring to products and company growth. This realization has further driven efforts to enhance brand visibility and reputation. In conclusion, the future of the furniture industry and its upstream raw materials and hardware accessories will rely on industrial upgrades, resource integration, and the full development of new e-commerce models. With strong support, the furniture industry is well-positioned to expand globally.
