Research on the Spatial Characteristics and the Sustainable Development Strategies of Chinese Furniture Industry

Abstract

The overall spatial difference, the inter-regional and intra-regional spatial differences of the three regions—the eastern, central and western regions of Chinese furniture industry are obvious and constantly shrink. The number of population, the average consumption level of the residents, the added value of the secondary industry, the amount of foreign capital and the amount of furniture exports and other factors affect the furniture industry’s spatial characteristics, but there are regional differences in the influence mechanism. In order to improve the industry development sustainably, it is necessary to optimize the division of furniture industry, focus on building cross-regional furniture industry chain, adopt advanced technology and equipment and strengthen the furniture brand construction. The eastern region should increase the technical input; the central region should pay more attention to market development, and the western region needs to strengthen industrial and financial support.
