Sofas are soft furniture, an important type of furniture, and reflect people’s quality of life to a certain extent. Sofas are divided into traditional sofas and functional sofas according to their functions. The former has a long history and mainly meets the basic needs of consumers. Most sofas in the market belong to traditional sofas. The latter emerged in the United States in the 1970s. It can meet the enjoyment needs of consumers because of its multi-functional and adjustable additional functions. In recent years, the proportion of functional sofas in the sofa market has increased day by day.
The sofa manufacturing industry is relatively competitive. Generally speaking, the industry has low barriers to entry, but it is not easy to establish a foothold in the sofa manufacturing industry and grow into an industry leader. Companies that are new to this industry usually have certain barriers to competition in terms of R&D and design, sales channels, scale, and funding.
The functional sofa manufacturing industry has maintained a good momentum of development through advanced production equipment and manufacturing technology.
Favorable factors for the development of the sofa industry are mainly reflected in the fact that in the international market, the United States, Germany and other large sofa consumers have passed the recession caused by the 2008 financial crisis, the economic situation has gradually improved, the consumption confidence of residents has increased, and the consumption capacity has continued to increase. A stable economic environment and ample material life will further expand the demand for sofas and other household consumer goods. In addition, the level of international aging has deepened, which is good for the functional sofa market.
The market demand for sofas is closely related to the level of national economic development, the prosperity of the real estate market and the per capita disposable income of residents. For developed countries such as Europe and the United States, after the 2008 financial crisis has gradually passed, economic development has begun to recover. The economy of most developed countries is growing steadily, and the per capita disposable income of residents is gradually rising. At the same time, due to its early realization of urbanization, a large number of existing houses need to be renovated, thus forming a stable demand for sofas. Moreover, compared with developing countries, residents in developed countries pay more attention to the quality of life, so there is a stronger demand for upgrading and upgrading of sofas and other homes that improve the quality of life.
In terms of product design, first of all, sofa product design tends to collide with multiple styles, mix and match colors and fashion, and use diversified elements to decorate the details, thus presenting more diverse appearance structures to cater to the different needs of the era of individual consumption. Secondly, the warming up of smart homes will promote the organic integration of sofas and modern technology, adding advanced communication and network technologies, entertainment media, testing and physical therapy and other auxiliary functions to the design, which will be closer to the life background of the times.
In terms of product quality, detail processing has become the focus of future development. If sofa manufacturing companies want to break through the product homogeneity dilemma, they must seek differences in details, pay more attention to the car line technology, the fold effect of the mask, the resilience of the cushion, the stability of the frame structure, the design of the backrest surface and other details，thereby enhancing the value and artistic sense of the product, and optimizing the user experience. At the same time, the promotion of environmental protection concepts will promote the innovation of sofa materials, and the application of low-carbon and environmentally friendly materials such as antibacterial and antibacterial fabrics and formaldehyde-free panels will further enhance the added value of products.
