(Summary description) In the past 30 years, the furniture industry in China has developed from the beginning to abroad, and has been made in China all over the world; Nowadays, China furniture system is becoming mature, but facing the fierce competition and the changing market trend, the challenges and opportunities faced by furniture manufacturing industry coexist in the new situation. 1. The laws and regulations on VOC emission reduction have been issued successively 95% of furniture manufacturing in China is still using traditional solvent based coatings (such as pupenc). According to 2013, 1.3 million tons of wood coatings are used. The total VOC discharged to the air exceeds 600000 tons, which has caused serious air quality pollution. In recent years, governments at all levels have issued a series of regulations and systems for the transformation and upgrading of painting field, especially for Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and surrounding areas of Beijing, and also a series of standards for upgrading technology or forced relocation of furniture manufacturing industry. This is an important strategic transformation choice for the whole furniture manufacturing industry. 2. Challenges of rising labor costs In recent years, the whole furniture manufacturing industry has faced with the intensified competition in all aspects at home and abroad. The labor cost of some Southeast Asian countries is only one-third of that of China. However, traditional furniture manufacturers in Europe and America have the advantages of design, brand and painting automation, and the domestic furniture manufacturers have overcapacity and intensified homogenization competition, which eventually leads to the worsening of the industry ecology, It has led to the loss or failure of many famous enterprises in the near future. How to solve the pressure of young labor force no longer willing to engage in high pollution traditional furniture manufacturing and labor cost rising year by year has become a difficult choice for all furniture manufacturing enterprises. 3. Challenges to productivity improvement In recent years, the rapid development of custom home furnishing industry has brought the traditional furniture manufacturing industry how to meet the requirements of terminal quickly. Only by optimizing the design and manufacturing process and improving the coating efficiency can we meet the new market competition demand. 4. Opportunities for applying environmental protection and high efficiency coating technology If a coating scheme can meet the environmental protection, high efficiency (low VOC emission, low physical hazard, can be completed in one day or several hours), it is possible to achieve real industrial upgrading and win new development opportunities in the future competition. The choice of environmental protection coating: the single or combined scheme of water-based, water-based light curing, solvent-free and high solid UV, powder coating and other high solid coatings can achieve low VOC emission; Meanwhile, the high solid UV coating can realize energy saving coating (relative to water-based and powder coating); High efficiency coating: the most advantageous is uvpaint (only a few seconds for one coating). Through the appropriate drying conditions, the above environmental protection coating can also achieve high-efficiency coating.
