1, 34 huge potential market, the development of strategic opportunities furniture
In accordance with the usual furniture, market segmentation, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and other cities are a large market, capital cities and some well-developed prefecture-level cities may be called the secondary market, other prefecture-level cities and some economically developed county-level market, compared with three grade market, with other county-level cities, towns and some developed areas of the rural market for the four markets. According to statistics, there were about 600 prefecture-level cities, county-level city about 2800, not less than 50000 villages and towns. In the urbanization process and the strategy of stimulating domestic demand, the 34 market potential is gradually turning into real purchasing power.
According to preliminary estimates the author present, China's 34 markets, representing about 800 million people, nearly 1.5 million households in each of the demand for furniture purchased at 30%, the 34 market capacity will reach 1,500 billion yuan, has great potential.
