The Story of the Lecong Furniture Market

The Lecong furniture market was born in China in the 1980s. It was an era of shortage for all consumers. In Lecong, which lacked furniture manufacturing resources, a group of farmers dared to break through the constraints of the planned economy and produce simple furniture in their own small workshops. They built a simple pine bark shed on fish ponds next to the 325 National Highway that passes through Lecong and Longjiang, and sold furniture to passing drivers and business travelers. The enlightened Lecong government has given strong support to furniture operators in terms of land and policies. These early operators have the opportunity to fill in fish ponds and build simple zinc-iron shack shopping malls. The entire 1980s was the pioneering period of Lecong Furniture.


In the early 1990s, some far-sighted entrepreneurs, including overseas Chinese from Lecong, took the lead in building modern furniture shopping malls in Lecong, representatives of which were Shunde Dynasty Furniture and Shunlian Furniture City. They took the lead in separating furniture sales from furniture manufacturing and worked closely with furniture manufacturers to provide more professional services to consumers and buyers. The 1990s was a period of rapid development for Lecong Furniture. Due to its efforts in the 1990s, Lecong Furniture became a well-known furniture distribution center at home and abroad. Furniture manufacturing companies around Lecong, relying on Lecong's global professional market, have gained Huge room for development. Lecong Furniture also established and created the industrial structure of Chinese furniture: furniture sales were born out of manufacturing and service, and guided manufacturing. Furniture sales were also independent from other department store sales. Since then, professional furniture markets and chain shopping malls across the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Entering the 21st century, Lecong furniture market has entered the brand stage of development. The completion and operation of the Louvre International Furniture Expo Center have brought the construction of Lecong furniture market into a stage of rapid development of brand operation. The exchanges and cooperation between major furniture shopping malls have rapidly improved the service capabilities of major furniture shopping malls. Lecong is no longer limited to recruiting surrounding companies to sell products in Lecong, including furniture manufacturing companies across the country and world-renowned furniture companies. Many people come to Lecong in search of greater business development space. In 2004, Lecong became China's only furniture trading capital; in 2008, Red Star Macalline, the largest home furnishing chain sales company in China, also joined Lecong to build a wholesale platform for China's top 500 furniture companies. The only wholesale platform among dozens of shopping malls.


At the end of 2009, the Lecong Furniture City Chamber of Commerce was established as scheduled. The government and the Lecong Furniture City Chamber of Commerce collaborated to bring the Lecong furniture market into a stage of providing full-scale services to buyers.


Why is Lecong Furniture Market the first choice for global furniture procurement?

 

1. International professional buyers will first come to Lecong and then place an order.


Take Australian furniture buyers as an example. They go to the Canton Fair Furniture Fair every March to look for new products and cooperation opportunities. However, due to the temporary and rushed nature of the Canton Fair furniture exhibition, it is difficult for Australian furniture buyers to find satisfactory products and cooperation opportunities and partners. Therefore, they are bound to inspect the Lecong furniture market and look for opportunities in the showrooms of thousands of furniture manufacturing companies in Lecong. Regardless of whether Australian merchants contact furniture companies through Alibaba or other channels, they will come to Lecong to select furniture products and furniture companies without exception, because Lecong has tens of thousands of cooperation companies to choose from. For professional buyers, this is still the cheapest and most direct way.


2. Lecong Furniture attracts overseas retail consumers


In Lecong, retail consumers from all over the world are also busy. Diplomatic officials from various countries’ embassies in China and consulates in Guangzhou will bring friends who come to China with furniture purchases'  needs to Lecong to choose furniture. In particular, commercial counselors from various countries in China will regard the Lecong Furniture Market as an important place and barometer and introduce it to domestic furniture industry associations. The reputation of buying furniture in Lecong spreads, and this kind of real reputation cannot be copied or surpassed.


3. Chinese domestic professional consumers favor Lecong Furniture


In Lecong, there are also professional buyers from all over the country, including decoration designers, hotel and project buyers. Decoration designers from all over the country are entrusted by owners to help select furniture that owners are satisfied with, and can help owners save more purchasing costs; hotel and engineering customers favor Lecong Furniture Market, where they can find the most suitable cooperation and partner.


4. Domestic retail consumers integrate shopping and travel


There are also many retail customers from all over the country, including the largest number of consumers from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Harbin, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Yinchuan, Wuhan, Changsha and other places. These consumers take advantage of the holiday discounts and come to Lecong to buy furniture. Then travel to Hong Kong, Macau and other places for a few days. Integrating travel and purchasing, buying a complete set of furniture from Lecong can save money on traveling to Hong Kong and Macao. This leisure purchasing method has been favored by more and more mainland consumers.

Is the Lecong furniture market mainly wholesale or retail?

 

Whether to focus on wholesale or retail depends on the situation of the settled manufacturers.


Most of the furniture shopping malls in Lecong are directly populated by manufacturers, so each furniture shopping mall has comprehensive wholesale and retail functions. However, due to the differences in the manufacturers stationed in each shopping mall, some shopping malls are suitable for furniture retail, while other shopping malls will make wholesalers more satisfied. Generally speaking, the four major shopping malls of Lecong Red Star Macalline, Louvre Furniture Expo Center, Shunde Dynasty Furniture, and Shunlian Furniture City North District mainly serve retail customers, but they also engage in wholesale; Tuanyi Other shopping malls represented by , Dongheng, Nanhua, Zhidongfang, and Dongming mainly focus on wholesale, but they also engage in retail.


Take Lecong Red Star Macalline as an example. The manufacturers that have settled in Lecong Red Star Macalline are all large-scale and powerful manufacturers. These manufacturers have strong brand awareness and complete product systems, and can provide a full set of supporting products from the living room to the bedroom. If as a retail buyer, one-stop shopping in shopping malls such as Lecong Red Star Macalline is the best choice. The scale of the manufacturers stationed in Louvre Furniture Expo Center, Dynasty Furniture, and Shunlian Furniture City North District are relatively close. Retail consumers can go directly to these shopping malls to find their ideal furniture products.

Furniture shopping malls that mainly focus on wholesale are populated by highly professional manufacturers. These manufacturers are not necessarily small in scale, but their product lines are relatively narrow. Some furniture manufacturers even do not provide finished furniture but only semi-finished furniture. For example, some stores only provide marble table tops to professional buyers, and to purchase table frames, you need to purchase them from another merchant. Of course, there are also some manufacturers with relatively long product lines. If you are professional enough, you can DIY furniture in these shopping malls with very little money and enjoy the experience of being a designer in your own home. Of course, You can also save money, but you run the risk of buying products that are useless.
