With the continuous development of global trade, trade barriers and tariffs between countries have become an important factor hindering the process of globalization. Among them, anti-dumping measures, as a means of trade protection, have been frequently used by many countries in recent years. As the world's largest mattress producer, China's mattress exports are also facing anti-dumping pressure from the United States.
Under the influence of the anti-dumping strategy of the United States for China's mattress, China's furniture enterprises have gone through two stages. The first phase is from 2018 to 2021, given that the United States has imposed tariffs of up to 25 percent on almost all household categories in China, of which mattresses are also subject to anti-dumping duties. During this period, China's foreign trade household industry began to transfer to Southeast Asia, through Vietnam, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries to export to Europe and the United States. The second stage is from 2021 to the present, and in April 2021, the US Department of Commerce officially announced the high anti-dumping tax rate against the seven countries. Chinese home furnishing enterprises have to adjust their strategy again, on the one hand, to dig deep into the domestic domestic market, on the other hand, to build factories in the United States and Europe. For the domestic domestic market, furniture companies will focus on expanding the sinking market. Sinking market is one of the biggest consumption growth points in China, with a huge market size and increasing purchasing power. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in China has increased year by year, with a year-on-year growth of 7.6% from January to September 2023, bringing more opportunities for "high-quality and low-cost" mattresses. For overseas demand, even in the face of Chinese workers to sea difficulties, high labor costs in the United States pain points, furniture companies still choose to build factories in Europe and the United States. In the case of Dream Lily, under the influence of anti-dumping policies, the company accelerated the production capacity of the factory in the eastern United States, and at the same time built a new factory in the western United States to meet the order demand of the American market. Every day chemical network believes that furniture companies with forward-looking layout of U.S. production capacity can better meet the local market demand, thus benefiting from this round of anti-dumping.
