The person in charge of the chamber of commerce said that the industry has not been included in the NDRC's interview and the price is still adjustable

New Express News In order to stabilize prices, the National Development and Reform Commission recently intensively "interviewed" associations and enterprises. Many industries that were "interviewed" announced that they would postpone price increases. However, some industries that were not "interviewed" did not change their gains.

Recently, Zhang Chuanxi, executive chairman and secretary general of the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Furniture and Decoration Chamber of Commerce, revealed in Guangzhou that the National Development and Reform Commission had consulted the direct chambers of commerce and industry on the issue of price stability, but the furniture industry was not included in the interview industry. Zhang Chuanxi said that due to rising raw material costs and other cost pressures, the furniture industry's uptrend is certain.

"The price is determined by the market"?

From daily chemical enterprises, coal enterprises to "foreign milk powder", the National Development and Reform Commission has recently interviewed many industries and made efforts to stabilize prices. It is reported that the National Development and Reform Commission "has to 'go over' every industry".

In a pan-home furnishing industry "Champions League" seminar held in Guangzhou on May 6, Zhang Chuanxi revealed that before the National Development and Reform Commission had stabilized prices, he had consulted the 30 directly affiliated chambers of commerce and industry, especially those related to people's livelihood.

"At that time, the National Development and Reform Commission also consulted our Chamber of Commerce, but the home furnishing industry did not involve ordinary people's daily fuel, oil and salt, and the price was determined by the market. Therefore, unlike other chambers of commerce, our chamber of commerce can only be used as a support unit for activities. Participate. "Zhang Chuanxi said, so home furnishing companies can adjust prices according to their own situation.

Zhang Chuanxi said that there are about 200,000 large and small enterprises in the national furniture industry, and the market competition is fierce. Upstream raw material prices are rising, and labor wage costs are increasing.

However, Zhang Chuanxi said that the impact of rising raw materials on terminal product prices is not unique. The final retail price of furniture consists of several parts, including store rent, logistics, raw materials, staff and other costs. "Raw materials rose 30%, and transmission to end products only rose 10%."

There has been a wave of price increases from March to May

The reporter learned that from March to May this year, the Guangzhou furniture market has set off a wave of price increases, an increase of about 10%.

The reporter visited home stores such as Jisheng Weibang and found that solid wood, plate and leather furniture products are among the price increases. Brands such as Federal Furniture, Jianmei Furniture, and Jinshang Famous Stores all had price increases from March to May this year.

The person in charge of the natural floor told reporters that due to the rise in the price of various wood, after March 15th, the price of most wooden floors rose by about 10%. The person told reporters that the price of wood has risen by about 30% year-on-year. "In recent years, wood has been rising, and there is no sign of decline."

It is understood that this year, China, Myanmar, Southeast Asia and other places have planned to control the supply of wood. The logging policy has caused the price of wood to be quickly raised. According to statistics, the price of Fraxinus mandshurica rose by 1,000 yuan / cubic meter year-on-year, the offer for sawn timber was as high as 3,900 yuan / cubic meter, and basswood also rose by 500 yuan / cubic meter to 4,500 yuan / cubic meter, or even higher.

At the same time, the continued rise in oil prices has led to rising freight rates, which has greatly increased the transportation costs of the furniture industry. According to industry insiders, this year's property market regulation will have a certain impact on the furniture market. Therefore, in order to ensure terminal sales, some mid-to-high-end styles do not raise prices, but control the cost of production and sales to achieve product price stability.
