In 2017, with the release of the most stringent production restriction order, once again to bring great pressure to the home improvement industry, of course, the price is not only a raw material, logistics and labor are also continuing to rise.
In 2017, the cost of decoration market has risen by 20%~35%, the price rise has become a reality, it is said that 2018 will continue to rise. As the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other ministries and Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and other provinces and cities jointly issued the 2017-2018 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas of autumn and winter comprehensive air pollution control action Plan, October 2017 to March 2018, steel and non-ferrous cement industry limited production and production, During the heating season, steel production in Tangshan and other cities has been limited by 50%, electrolytic aluminum and alumina production has been limited by over 30%, and cement and building materials have all been suspended. So from October building materials all production, decoration face price rises.
Therefore, in 2018, hit by the double blow of environmental protection test and rising raw material prices, the expenses of household enterprises for environmental protection facilities renovation, carton packaging, material transportation and other aspects have been on the rise. An insider of Huanai, which operates more than 40 household brands across the country, said, "People should be more wary of those who promise not to raise prices for 10 years. Because the price of raw materials are transparent, businesses promise not to raise prices is not realistic, will certainly seek a balance in material quality and other services, so consumers are not only to see whether the promise not to raise prices, but there is no doubt that early decoration, or very necessary."
It is not only raw materials that are rising in price. Labor costs, transportation costs and furniture have all seen a new round of increases this year along with the rising costs, and will continue to rise in the future.
Wood is rising in price, plate is rising in price, floor, door, stairs, cabinets, furniture is also rising, non-brand goods decoration cost also broke a new high, compared to last year by 20%, next year is expected to have a 30% rise!
Now, rising coal and electricity prices are also putting pressure on cement companies. So far, the trend has only begun, rising by 15% to 18%.
Gold is not the only metal that is rising. Ordinary materials are rising even more, causing the price of electrical wires, water pipes, hardware and light steel keels, which are important components of home decoration, to soar, from 25% last year to more than 30% next year.
Logistics costs rise year by year, which is more stable than raw materials. Therefore, logistics costs are a traditional project with stable growth of decoration costs. With the regularization requirements of national team logistics, consumers are almost forced to bear more logistics costs.
Wages for highly skilled workers in the decoration industry are rising faster than in the general industry, with the cost of a skilled worker rising by 25% last year.
In 2018, the market cost of decoration rose by 20%~35%, so some things or settle down early, so that you will not regret the substantial price rise after the year, the price rise has become a trend, early to buy early to earn early decoration early to earn.
