With the government pushing for faster urbanization, the housing industry has seen significant growth, offering more opportunities. The trend of residential industrialization has also brought about standardized and mass-produced furniture and related products. Industrialization has played a key role in driving this development. For the Chinese furniture industry, the market potential is huge. However, some companies still face challenges, particularly in meeting environmental standards for their products.
Recently, the issue of "zero formaldehyde" has gained attention among consumers. Formaldehyde, a gas with a strong, pungent smell, has long been a concern in the furniture and interior decoration industries. It is often referred to as a "toxic pollutant" because high levels in the air can lead to health problems, including poisoning, and in extreme cases, even death.
Many furniture manufacturers prioritize profit over consumer well-being, using excessive amounts of formaldehyde in their products. Consumers often lack awareness about the risks, making them vulnerable to misleading claims. Once furniture is brought home, the formaldehyde continues to release over time, increasing indoor pollution levels and posing serious health risks. These practices have led to numerous incidents, showing a lack of responsibility from some companies, which has damaged consumer trust and made buyers more cautious when purchasing furniture.
Just recently, the Beijing Consumer Association conducted a quality test on mattresses in the city. The results revealed that out of 50 samples, 25 had excessive formaldehyde levels, resulting in a failure rate of 50%. Many furniture brands claim their products are "formaldehyde-free," but they often fail to provide any valid certification or quality inspection reports to back up these claims.
To address these issues, stronger national regulations are needed. Products without proper certification should not be allowed on the market. A product standard policy could be introduced, evaluating products from small, medium, and large enterprises. Only those meeting the criteria would be recognized by the state and allowed to sell. This would encourage companies to improve product quality, create a healthier industry environment, and give consumers greater confidence and better protection for their rights.
In conclusion, while the furniture industry in China holds great promise, it must address its environmental and safety concerns to build trust with consumers. With stricter policies and increased transparency, the sector can grow sustainably and responsibly.
