From the perspective of the whole furniture industry, the price should be upward floating, especially in the factories that produce solid wood furniture. The reasons are mainly in the following aspects:
1, the price of wood raw materials rose. Some popular or rare solid wood materials, with the control of exporting countries and the gradual increase of consumption, wood prices have risen. However, the proportion of raw materials in the price system of solid wood furniture is still relatively high, so it is also very common to use wood to raise prices.
2. The rising price has pushed up the labor cost. In many domestic furniture enterprises, the proportion of mechanical manufacturing is not high, and manual manufacturing still occupies a very important position (especially wood products enterprises). In recent years, due to factors such as rising prices and shortage of excellent workers, the labor cost of workers has soared, and the woodworking wages of some enterprises have doubled compared with five years ago. These increased labor costs will definitely be allocated to the product price.
3. With the improvement of environmental protection requirements, the hardware investment of enterprises is gradually increasing. In recent years, with the gradual improvement of environmental protection standards of production enterprises, many furniture enterprises have added many pollution treatment facilities. Solid wood furniture enterprises are more representative in the investment of facilities such as dust removal and sewage treatment. The hardware investment of these facilities is huge, and the annual depreciation and operating cost of equipment will also be shared in the product price.
On the whole, in such a fierce market competition environment, most solid wood factories are cautious in raising prices every time, and dealers and factories know each other better.
