Our reporter Yu Yu reported
For hundreds of years, mahogany furniture that has traditionally used traditional techniques and profound cultural heritage has been favored by consumers.
Recently, the news about the price increase of raw materials in the rosewood market has been raging. Just as we are still feeling that Huanghuali is hard to find, the 17th Conference of the States Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES COP17), which was concluded in Johannesburg, South Africa, is regarded by the industry as the decision of the rosewood industry. The entire mahogany furniture market has had a major impact.
It is reported that all Dalbergia plants have been listed as endangered. In addition, the CITES ASEAN Expert Group also submitted the endangered fruit of the large fruit rosewood (Burma rosewood) and the bird foot rosewood (Lao rosewood), A. sinensis (white rosewood) and Bali red sandalwood (red rosewood, squid). Proposal for Appendix II of the species. Upgrade the control level of Siamese rosewood (Sian rosewood) from Mark 5 in Appendix 2 to Mark 4, extending the scope of control from logs, sawn timber and plywood to furniture and components.
If the proposal is passed, this means that the strict trade regulations will basically block the passage of its legitimate trade. All the rosewood and fragrant wood in the Chinese redwood national standard will enter the international control, and all other Dalbergia This is also true for the timber of the tree species.
It is undeniable that this incident directly affected the supply of raw materials for redwood and became an important factor in its price increase. According to industry sources, the current price increase of raw materials for mahogany has been forced to hit the market in 2013.
Redwood raw materials "up" sound
In fact, this year, especially in recent months, the rosewood raw material has risen to an alarming level. Taking the main materials of the current mahogany industry, namely, CITES COP17, the main points of Siamese rosewood, Bali red sandalwood and Burmese rosewood are as follows. The red rosewood is good at 250,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year, and now it has exceeded 300,000 yuan. The increase is 40%; Barry Dalbergia before the Spring Festival ordinary materials 30,000 yuan / ton, is now about 45,000 yuan / ton, up 50%; Burmese rosewood anthology has increased from 18,000 yuan / ton to about 30,000 yuan / About ton, compared with 60% to 70% at the beginning of the year; even African pears, which are not among the national redwoods and have been ignored, have about 2,500 yuan per ton of raw materials at the beginning of the year, and now around 5,000 yuan, or nearly 100%.
Faced with the rising prices of raw materials, Guangdong redwood producers have indicated that they will raise prices, up to about 20%. There is a "up" sound everywhere.
The rosewood raw materials have risen so rapidly, and whether the price of mahogany furniture will rise so high has become the most concerned issue for the majority of mahogany furniture lovers.
Mahogany furniture "difficult to escape" gains
There is also a lot of controversy in the industry about whether mahogany furniture will raise prices.
"The price increase is affirmative. Considering the acceptance of dealers and consumers, the price adjustment range is around 5%-15%! Of course, some manufacturers choose to suspend price increases to allow consumers to adapt to the current market environment." Li Tianxi, an industry insider In an interview with the reporter of China Sankei Shimbun, he said.
Manager Li of the Wood Mangrove Furniture Company did not agree with this. He told the China Sankei Shimbun reporter that many mahogany companies had clamored for price increases a few months ago, but there were not many people who dared to implement them. At present, the sales of finished furniture in China have not been enlarged, and many companies are still struggling. The domestic economy is not ideal, and the mahogany industry cannot be separated from the big environment.
However, at present, the call for rosewood furniture will increase. Some experts said that the price increase of mahogany raw materials will be reflected in the price of furniture after 3-6 months. Although the mahogany furniture market is likely to increase prices, many businesses are not happy.
“Rational analysis, the price increase of mahogany materials has a great impact on mahogany furniture enterprises. However, as far as the current downturn is concerned, the main task of mahogany enterprises is still to go to inventory, and it will take some time for the price of raw materials to be transferred to finished furniture. Most furniture companies are unlikely to raise prices in a short period of time. However, as the price of mahogany raw materials rises, the rising cost of labor and logistics will force companies to raise prices in order to survive. It can be said that mahogany It is imperative to raise the price of furniture.†Cai Bo, general manager of Tanchao Redwood Culture Communication Co., Ltd. said in an interview with the reporter of China Sankei Shimbun.
According to media reports, starting from October 15, Hanning Redwood raised the price of Burmese rosewood products by 10%; while Shenzhen Oriental Baoding has a buffer space for consumers, the price increase will be set on November 1st, the third The largest series of products has increased by about 10%.
Redwood market or warm up?
Since both mahogany raw materials and mahogany furniture will increase in price, does it mean that the boring redwood market will pick up?
Li Tianxi, an insider, told reporters that from the current market situation, the mahogany market has not recovered significantly, and various industries are still in a downturn.
Manager Li of the Wood Mangrove Furniture Company told reporters that although the raw materials have risen a certain amount, the increase is not as big as that spread on the Internet. It is still too early to say that the rosewood is warming up, and whether the market is rebounding or reversing remains to be seen.
However, there are many people who are full of confidence in the mahogany market. Some insiders said that the increasingly scarce mahogany raw materials make the price of rosewood market rise and then rise, and the real recovery of the mahogany market is just around the corner.
Qiu Zhikun, deputy general manager of Yonghua Hongmu, told the media that from the sales situation before and after the Yonghua National Day, the mahogany market has obviously recovered, and many of the redwood fans who are holding the money are buying before the price increase.
"What consumers see is only an upswing in the second half of the year. In fact, the price of mahogany raw materials has been rising moderately since the first half of the year." Cai Bo said that the current domestic mahogany raw materials are basically from Southeast Asia, Africa, Imports from South America, due to the frequent occurrence of climate disasters in these countries and regions, and the continuous implementation of relevant import and export regulations, have greatly affected the normal supply of redwood raw materials, and are also a major factor in the price increase of mahogany raw materials, and mahogany The price of timber itself is limited by the limited resources of mahogany and the long-term success of the timber market. The market demand is closely related to the increasing daily demand, so this rise is bound to be a long-term trend.
Reliable "financial products"
Recently, the inclusion of mahogany in "real estate" has once again become a hot word. Some people have analyzed that mahogany products are expected to become reliable "financial products" in the investment field.
“Redwood is a relatively large concept. Among them, Huanghuali, lobular rosewood and red rosewood, which are culturally inherited, will always be the favorite of the Chinese. Red rosewood will soon disappear from the mass market like huanghuali and lobular rosewood. The niche collection area.†Manager Li of the Wood Mangrove Furniture Company said, but he believes that the inclusion of “real estate†in “real estate†as a “financial product†seems to be only a good idea, but it is difficult to implement in actual operation. A set of furniture of the same material A craftsmanship will vary greatly depending on the color, texture, workmanship, etc. of the wood.
In Cai Bo's view, the future of mahogany products, like real estate, has become a reliable "financial product" in the investment field. This possibility exists in theory.
However, he believes that it is unscientific to compare the mahogany market with the real estate market. Real estate is not a resource product. From the perspective of use, once it is sufficient, it cannot meet the expectation of value-added appreciation. Redwood is a scarce resource. It has a long growing period and a long product life. It is non-renewable compared to two or three generations, and there is a huge gap between the amount of redwood in the world and the demand of people. It is rare and expensive, and it is expected to increase steadily. of.
"As we all know, in our country, inflation is serious and investment channels are too small. The mahogany furniture embodies the beauty of culture and art. It is more collectible and handed down than ordinary financial products. Now this kind of redwood is a symbol of identity and life. It has become a trend, because it has more cultural connotation, environmental protection, strong and durable, and can preserve the value of appreciation. It is just because of the consumer psychology of buying up and not buying down. Many consumers are waiting for the right price, waiting for a suitable opportunity to shoot, so that mahogany The future of products becomes a reliable 'financial product' in the investment field, and this possibility exists in theory.†Cai Bo added.
Li Tianxi, an industry insider, also agreed with this. He said that if redwood is classified as real estate, this will promote the development of the entire redwood industry in the direction of refinement. This possibility exists along with the increasing scarcity of mahogany wood and the return of confidence in the culture of Chinese people. This will usher in the unprecedented tide of collection of mahogany furniture, so that the protection of mahogany furniture has legal protection!
Cai Bo further pointed out that the application of mahogany to manufacture furniture began in the Ming Dynasty of China, using traditional crafts such as engraving, enamel, inlays and curves made by Chinese furniture. Its shape and crafts have obvious nationality and contain rich classical culture. Breath, through the shape and sculpture to show the beauty, dignity, ethereal, honest, grand, elegant beauty. By appreciating the mahogany furniture furnished in the home, people can get a sense of closeness to nature, and have great improvement in physical and mental health and humanity. If mahogany furniture can be popularized, it will have far-reaching significance for the spread of traditional Chinese culture in the future.
