The national standard "General Technical Conditions for Mahogany Furniture" formally implemented on August 1 this year, for the first time, the definition of mahogany furniture was clarified and standardized, and the scope of mahogany furniture was expanded. A variety of hardwoods will be included in the scope of the new national standard. It will also promote the development of new products by new mahogany tree species and furniture companies.
New tree species alleviate resource scarcity
The main drafter of the standard, Cao Xinmin, chief engineer of Zhongshan Redwood Furniture Development Research and Development Center, introduced that the new national standard regulates the scope, terms and definitions, requirements, test methods and other aspects of redwood furniture, and clarifies the definition of redwood furniture for the first time. It is required to name and mark the mahogany furniture by the name of the tree species whose products mainly use wood. The wood must also undergo standard testing before production, and promote the development and use of new mahogany wood.
Liu Haichao, director of the Liantian Redwood Marketing Center, told reporters that at present, China's mahogany resources are scarce, but market demand is constantly expanding, and the market is facing the dilemma of "smart women can't cook without rice". In addition, India, Laos, Myanmar and other countries protect precious wood and restrict exports, which is even worse for the Chinese redwood market, which relies heavily on imported raw materials. He believes that the national standard promotes the development and use of new mahogany wood, which can fundamentally solve the plight of mahogany resources.
Yang Jiaju, the drafter of the mahogany national standard, believes that the development and search for alternative species of mahogany is a matter of time. The sustainability of the development of mahogany furniture determines the sustainability of its material selection.
Enterprises actively develop to seize the market
Yang Bo, chairman of Beijing Yuanhengli Classic Hardwood Furniture Co., Ltd., is a supporter of the new national standard. He told reporters that when the company was established, the name used hardwood instead of mahogany. It is expected that the scope of mahogany is small, and several traditional materials There is no sustainability. He believes that in view of the current scarcity of raw material resources, it is necessary to increase the species of mahogany standards.
Liu Haichao also said that even Tianhong Company also actively supports the development of new tree species products. At present, more than 10 new tree species with wood properties comparable to mahogany have been found worldwide. These new tree species may be launched in modern fashion furniture. This eased the tension in the mahogany market. The development of new raw materials can not only ease the shortage of traditional mahogany raw materials in short supply, but also enable the sustainable development of traditional mahogany resources. At the same time, it helps to guide consumers' ideas.
Most enterprises welcome the introduction of the new material in the national standard. Hu Guyue, general manager of Beijing Fuxing Guyue Redwood Furniture Co., Ltd., said that any kind of precious wood will be developed when it is exhausted, and preparing it earlier will help seize the market.
Demand drives new tree species development
Yang Bo said that the future consumer group of mahogany furniture is currently about 30-40 years old. This group of people has unique personality requirements, and the demand for mahogany furniture is also different. It is difficult for one family to meet. At present, the market potential of mid-end mahogany furniture is huge, and the demand is strong. The addition of new tree species is conducive to meeting the consumer demand, and the potential huge demand will also promote the development of new tree species.
Zheng Xuesong, secretary general of the Traditional Furniture Professional Committee of the China Furniture Association, said that the new national standard promotes the development and use of new tree species, which can make the raw materials for making mahogany more abundant and satisfy the mass consumers. At the same time, he believes that the key to the value of new trees and new products lies in the recognition of the market and consumers. This is a long-term accumulation process.
â– Industry statement
New tree species will not affect the price of mahogany
â— Yang Bo, Chairman of Beijing Yuanhengli Classical Hardwood Furniture Co., Ltd.
The new national standard will introduce more wood into the "redwood" identity range, and some people think that it may affect the price of precious wood and impact the overall decline in the price of redwood furniture. In fact, the price of mahogany furniture is related to the price of raw materials, production costs, market environment and other factors. The increase of mahogany tree species only increases the category of mahogany tree species, and does not directly affect the price of mahogany wood.
In addition, the new national standard advocates the development of new materials, increasing the variety of wood from 33 to hundreds, and expanding the range of mahogany wood, but its expansion does not change the scarcity of some high-end wood. For example, the total amount of precious wood such as red sandalwood and Huanghuali is gradually becoming scarce. As the so-called "things are rare", they will only become more and more precious. The introduction of the new national standard will not affect their scarcity and affect them. The price has little effect.
New materials increase to promote market maturity
â— Hu Guyue, General Manager of Beijing Fuxing Guyue Redwood Furniture Co., Ltd.
Some large companies that produce fixed materials do not want to expand the mahogany materials, fearing that adding new materials will cause their own enterprises to lose value and advantage, so they oppose changing the national standard. There are also companies that believe that there are many types of new materials involved, and that the price difference is too large. The real introduction will bring chaos to the market and cause market instability.
After the new materials enter the national standard, the impact on different companies is also different. High-end brands have basically no effect; mid-range companies can choose more abundant materials to ensure continuous production. The new national standard will be gradually rolled out, and the effect will appear in a year, the strength of large brands will be more prominent, the brands will be more concentrated, and the market maturation will accelerate.
