In recent years, there have been more and more people in China who have picked up mahogany furniture and collected and invested in mahogany furniture. The raw materials used in the production of mahogany furniture in China are mainly imported from Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, South America and Africa. Due to the slow growth, the resources of redwoods are scarce, and they are decreasing year by year, and some even face the danger of extinction.
When the raw materials of redwood are so tight, will the mainstream materials of mahogany furniture be drastically changed? What is it possible to become a mainstream material? These problems have aroused strong concern from the industry.
The cost of raw materials has soared and companies are overwhelmed
Redwood resources are increasingly scarce and raw material prices are naturally bullish. On the other hand, with the growing international environmental protection voices, the main producers of redwood raw materials have adopted strict export restrictions, and the import channels have become increasingly narrow, boosting the price of raw materials for rosewood. For example, Hainan Huanghua Pear, as the best of mahogany, is currently sold at a price of 10,000 yuan per kilogram. Another example is the black rosewood in Southeast Asia, which is second only to huanghuali and red sandalwood. The price is rising rapidly.
In addition to the rising prices of raw materials, the increase in labor costs has virtually pushed up the price of mahogany furniture. Such as a black rosewood Arhat bed, from design to production, at least more than a year. Designers, carpenters, and engraving craftsmen are paid a lot of money and are continuing to rise. The superposition of various factors has caused the cost of mahogany furniture to rise linearly, and some companies are already overwhelmed.
The main material of mahogany furniture will change
Nowadays, the main material of mahogany furniture is red rosewood. But before the 2008 financial crisis, such as Xianyou Liuxiangting Zheng Guoxin said, “The mainstream materials for domestic mahogany furniture are Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali and lobular rosewood. The red rosewood at that time is like the current wenge, rosewood Etc., is the supporting role of domestic mahogany.†The sudden rise of red rosewood is mainly because of its high oil content, relatively stable material properties, and the large red and rich texture that Chinese people like, which is almost exhausted in the original mainstream materials. Act as the protagonist.
The current situation is somewhat similar to 2008. The mining time of red rosewood has been shortened from about five years to about three years. The supply of materials has become more and more tense, and prices have skyrocketed. Many companies in Xianyou have begun to use new materials such as dimpled Dalbergia, Burmese rosewood, and golden nanmu, and the sales situation has also gone well. Beijing has also held a special exhibition of Jinsi Nanmu furniture, in order to guide the market to find a new generation of mainstream materials.
In addition to resource factors, the more important reason for choosing new materials is the cost of production. With the rapid rise of labor costs, excessive raw material prices are constantly testing the production risks of enterprises while testing the financial strength of production companies. This year, the country implemented a series of liquidity austerity programs. SMEs have experienced financial constraints to varying degrees. In order to control risks, enterprises have also been forced to make conscious changes in materials.
The market will ultimately decide on the transformation of materials
Market trends are changing and companies are actively choosing new materials. Who can choose the mainstream material for the new round of raw materials, who can get the excess profits brought by the price increase. But what is the mainstream material in the future? Is Burmese rosewood, or dimpled Dalbergia? Or is it chicken wings? ... This is not what the company can decide. The determination of mainstream materials requires certification and recognition in the consumer market.
But can our company only blindly choose? Of course not. It should be noted that various materials have different characteristics, but they can withstand the market inspection and become the mainstream material of mahogany furniture. They must be wood with stable wood texture, beautiful texture and rich oil content. Not only the color is attractive, but also the resources need to have certain scarcity. We will wait and see which companies will stand out in the new round of material change.
