In the past few years, the upholstered furniture industry has been changing greatly.

Under the trend of rapidly updating and iterating consumer demand, the upholstered furniture companies are constantly searching for innovation and continue to seek new growth points for their businesses, trying to develop to high comfort, youth, fashion and style diversification to the development of cross.

Upholstered furniture industry is gaining growing strength 

In the situation of major enterprises to reshape their own brand image, the "new opportunities" is coming.

As China's "urbanization" process is accelerating, the urban population is growing, which will obviously bring huge development space for the upholstered furniture industry.

At the same time, Europe and the United States existing a large number of old houses need to be renovated, and local residents pay more attention to the comfort and convenience of living conditions, also formed a greater demand for upholstered furniture, which in turn brings a new opportunity for the development of the upholstered furniture industry.

New challenges under new opportunities 

In the face of the rapidly changing and unpredictable market demands of the upholstery industry, the limitations of traditional business models have made upholstery manufacturers uneasy in the new market environment. 

Low leather utilization, increased production complexity and labor shortages have become challenges for upholstery companies to develop "lean manufacturing".

01 Low Leather Utilization Rate
The rising cost of leather has made optimizing utilization rates to reduce production costs a key step to profitability.

02 Increased production complexity
The trend of personalization and unique consumption has increased the complexity of product development and made it more difficult to deliver diverse orders. If we continue to maintain the die cutting, it will bring huge manufacturing pressure to the enterprise.

03 Process technology is difficult to upgrade
For traditional manufacturing, it is difficult to ensure production quality without the background of mature process technology.

And it is difficult to recruit skilled workers and long training time for novice workers, which are not conducive to the development of industry process technology.

With digitalization, race to lean production racing track.

With so many difficulties, the competitive situation of enterprises has gradually become clear, and improving production efficiency and product quality has become a key objective for enterprises transforming to customization and diversification.
