Although ranked 6th in the world in exporting wood products, the domestic market with the consumption of 90 million people, estimated at 1-2 billion USD a year has not been paid enough attention.

The race against the modern interior market

Mr. Eric Dinh said that consumers now have a high demand for smart and modern furniture.

“The smart furniture market in Ho Chi Minh City is developing quite bustling. Currently, there are many competitors in this market”, said Eric Dinh.

Typically, the newly launched LED bed of Dongsuh Furniture has been warmly welcomed.

Worries about Chinese goods "disguised" as furniture for exportAccording to Mr. Huynh Van Hanh - Vice President of Hawa, US-China trade tensions are now very easy to turn Vietnam into a "backyard" of Chinese wooden products, if Vietnamese enterprises do not build a retail system. will definitely lose at home. Once exports to the United States are declining, China must find markets to consume Chinese wooden products and furniture that will land in regional countries, including Vietnam.

Meanwhile, according to Mr. Eric Dinh - marketing director of Dongsuh Furniture, in order to protect the domestic wooden furniture market as well as export, the customs sector must closely monitor Chinese wood products into Vietnam in what form, which is a component. or selling components or raw materials to impose proper tax, avoiding the situation of "disguising" Vietnamese goods for export in order to enjoy tax incentives like Chinese flooring products and anti-dumping prices. Therefore, Vietnamese authorities must be more strict in considering and issuing C / O.

This leads to the situation of fake goods, fake goods, poor quality goods that still have land on the market, affecting the interests of consumers and society in general.

Sharing with the Vietnam Investment Review reporter, Mr. Park Young Nam shared that, currently, on the market, many small furniture stores in Hanoi, or Ho Chi Minh City have introduced as distributors of many big brands. , but when customers make product certification requirements, they cannot provide it, or require VAT invoices, many of them cannot provide.

Do not mention consumers. Because there are many different types of products, interiors, different identities and no one knows all the products.

Sharing the same view, Mr. Dinh Hoang Quan (Eric Dinh), Director of Makerting YN Vietnam, a genuine production and distribution unit of Dongsuh Furniture brand in Vietnam said: “If I go to buy furniture for decoration, Besides the field of furniture - my specialty, other products are difficult to choose because there is no experience, knowledge and lack of information about the product, especially about the product material as well as the origin. This is harder for the average consumer. ”

... So difficult to manage quality furnitureThe reason why fake furniture, fake goods and poor quality goods are still available for sale, Mr. Quan said, partly because of unethical business units, taking advantage of market gaps to profit. , on the one hand due to the poor management.

Meanwhile, sharing with reporters of the Investment Review, a representative of An Cuong Wood Joint Stock Company, said that this is a very sensitive issue. Furniture is very cheap, but consumers should carefully understand about businesses, distributors of prestigious products, big brands with State protection certificates, or other certificates. about the product.

In addition, the average population growth rate of Vietnam is 1.2 - 1.5% / year and the average urban growth rate is 3.4% / year ... Therefore, the potential to increase Head of domestic housing segment is still very large, office demand is increasing sharply.

Along with the increasing demand for civil construction, consumers' tastes are also more stringent. For example, with interior items as floor carpets, at present, most apartments tend to use carpets, at least spread one sheet in the living room. Consumers have gradually updated their home décor with carpets, so finding and buying rugs in the home is also as important as buying a sofa, a bed, a dressing table, etc.

Five years ago, consumers easily accepted the use of Chinese origin beds with low price and not high quality. However, now with the new consumer trend, consumers are turning to more luxurious wooden beds. Especially taking into account factors such as health safety and environmental friendliness.

WOODEN FURNITURE MARKET: HOME RENTAL“Going to buy Chinese wooden furniture? Any price is available, spoiled for choice of models ... ”, Mr. Phuong, a furniture business specialist in Ngo Gia Tu area, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, said.

They often follow the orders of the building, they get the price and go to the root of the goods in China to find the lowest price to order. In these trips, the traders also took advantage of the survey of new and unique models to hit Vietnam.

“If hit correctly, the profit of each shipment is up to 50%. Conversely, if the judgment is wrong, the imported goods are "out of fashion", hugging the number of inventories, they must suffer losses to recover capital. "

Usually, every importer has their own showroom system to display products. Imported furniture is also distributed to interior stores across the country, in Ho Chi Minh City focusing on two "markets", Ngo Gia Tu (District 10) and Cong Hoa (Tan Binh).

Every day, Dongsuh Furniture exports to Korea and countries about 2 to 3 "public" furniture of all kinds by sea, according to the official quota.

Currently this trend is decreasing. Customers are getting younger and younger, preferring modern, block-style, simple and convenient boxes suitable for modern houses with paint colors and youthful designs.

Products are warranted for 1 year or more, 100% flexible return and warranty policy for the first 7 days. The sales from the domestic market of the company has reached nearly 10 billion / year.

A series of furniture supermarkets were born with many different brands, not to mention the shops specializing in selling imported furniture are competing fiercely in the market. Collaborating with suppliers of raw materials in production, promoting quality control, order fulfillment progress and reducing input prices are also ways that businesses are taking steps to be able to compete with furniture. China.

Even businesses specializing in handicrafts have started to focus on the interior business by associating with other construction companies. For example, Lac Phuong Nam Company cooperates with Nha Dan Construction Company to make interior decoration items according to specific orders of the owner. Upon receiving the order, the company will send people to survey depending on the type of house, the company will offer different decor patterns. Lac Phuong Nam furniture is quite diverse, targeting different types of customers to penetrate better. Wooden items such as tables, chairs, shelves, bars are lacquered to match the colors and designs of each office.
