Research and Markets: China Sourcing Report: Furniture & Furnishings provides In-depth profiles of 37 major suppliers

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4e098b/china_sourcing_rep) has announced the addition of the "China Sourcing Report: Furniture & Furnishings" report to their offering.

In China's furniture and furnishings industry, production expenses are rising as suppliers face higher material and labor costs. As a response to these challenges, a number of makers are now maintaining large material stockpiles to hedge against sudden outlay increases. Others have begun streamlining their operations to improve manufacturing efficiency.

The imposition of such measures coupled with strengthening demand from key markets is leading to a generally optimistic export outlook, with most companies anticipating a sharp rise in overseas shipments across the next 12 months.

The current workforce shortage is having a detrimental effect on this labor-intensive industry.

Prices are expected to rise in the various categories as material and production costs grow. Such increases, however, will typically be restrained to 10 percent as companies attempt to keep quotes at levels attractive to buyers.

This report covers the major categories exported from China: living room, dining, bedroom, children's, outdoor and office furniture, lamps, and home textiles and accents.

Methodology:

To produce this report, Global Sources surveyed a wide range of suppliers. Rather than focus simply on high-profile makers, we compiled a representative sample of large, midsize and emerging manufacturers. All profiled companies are export-oriented professional suppliers that are verified by Global Sources.

Each supplier is confirmed to be authentic with a legally registered business. All companies are visited three or more times to ensure they are export-ready and have real offices and products.

The listed contact person has been verified to represent the registered company. In each case, companies were required to answer specific questions designed to verify their manufacturing and export credentials. All profiled suppliers participated in a survey designed to provide insight into product and price trends, and challenges facing the industry. All survey questions are single choice.

Suppliers are ranked based on a 6-star ranking system. Companies with a higher star ranking provide more business information and verification reports on their Global Sources online homepages.

Suppliers rated 5 or 6 stars have a Credit Check report from First Advantage or Sino-Trust and a Supplier Capability Assessment report provided by Bureau Veritas online. The rankings are correct at the time of publication and may be subject to change.
