For reference only, Beijing Garden Online April 2 1 News: Spring is the time for Beijing Flower Market to renew its contract with merchants. It is reported that several businesses familiar with artificial flowers in China have already returned some booths or are ready to return them. In recent years, the domestic artificial flower consumption momentum is strong, why should it fade out?

Imitate the wind and make a profit.

With the expansion of the artificial flower consumption market in recent years, the number of employees is increasing. At present, imitation is a prominent problem in the production of artificial flowers in China. Take Tianlongchang Market, the most concentrated first-class wholesale of artificial flowers in Beijing. It is often a company's products that sell well. It's only a month at the earliest, and the imitation appears. Some counterfeiters cut corners from various aspects, such as the length of flower branches, the size of flowers, the number of flowers, the thickness of cloth pieces and so on.

Counterfeit products save the cost of early development and design and rush into the market at a low price. Under this pressure, the manufacturers of artificial flowers have been divided at present. Hebei Yanxinjin Flower Factory, which is famous for its polyester flowers all over the country, has changed its model and made wood flowers and metal flowers with high technology content and difficult imitation, and has given priority to supplying foreign markets. It is understood that some powerful artificial flower factories in China abandon the domestic market while improving their production technology, or only use China as a resale place for export surplus products. In addition, most producers of middle and low-grade products have to face cruel price competition: they find a new product with considerable profit in the market.

Economists rushed to put into production, then pushed down their profits and competed for materials and labor, until they finally lost money and everyone quit. At this time, the market price of the product is lower than the cost, which is called "doing death" in the industry. It is said that last year's simulated Phalaenopsis has just experienced this round of war, and many manufacturers still smell its discoloration.

Circulation is chaotic, and wholesalers are difficult.

In another flower market in Beijing, a merchant engaged in the wholesale of mid-range artificial flowers withdrew some booths this year. He said that according to normal business rules, manufacturers supply goods in different time periods in the order of direct sales, agency and wholesale. The principle followed is that no matter what kind of sales method, only one supplier is provided in one region to ensure the benefits that sellers at all levels deserve. Now many retailers go directly to the factory to get goods, and there is almost no difference between wholesale and retail, so it is difficult for many businesses to maintain wholesale business. Another artificial flower retailer, who is considering whether to quit, said that the chaos in the sales process often forced him to look at all directions and listen to all directions, and even had to travel long distances to the factory to trade in person, which increased operating costs. Poor market order can also lead to some bad phenomena-while everyone is selling at low prices, customers take the opportunity to ask for credit, which is quite difficult.

Market prospect of artificial flowers

In foreign countries, the artificial flower industry started early and developed rapidly, and artificial flower products have long been sought after by people. At present, flower consumption in developed countries has long been an important expense of people's daily consumption, and people's demand for artificial flowers is even greater.

Compared with western developed countries, the artificial flower industry in China started late. A few years ago, the products produced by domestic artificial flowers manufacturers were exported, and the domestic demand was very small.

However, with the rapid development of China's economy, people's living standards have also undergone qualitative changes, and the home layout has also changed from simple to beautiful. However, with the rise of flower arrangement art, artificial flowers have begun to enter the mainland market in recent years. Its arbitrary modeling and high simulation are more and more favored by people. With the development of economy, household ornaments have become popular, and people are constantly pursuing individuality and quality of life. The development of China's economy will certainly promote the development of artificial flower market, and it is an inevitable trend for China people's home design to be in line with international standards.

Strolling the streets, going in and out of high-end business occasions, in the office and at home, if we pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find that the figure of artificial flowers has quietly occupied every corner of our lives and decorated our lives. Because of its uniqueness, artificial flowers surpass flowers and become the first choice for more people. At present, China consumes tens of billions of artificial flowers every year. With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for artificial flowers will be more and more vigorous, and this market has unlimited potential.

At the moment of the financial crisis, many industries have been affected and depressed, but the artificial flower market is still hot, which is the best proof.

Artificial flowers, also known as artificial flowers, silk flower and silk flower, once had a poem praising "Flowers are invincible at home, and red flowers and green leaves are always in spring", which made the characteristics of artificial flowers vividly on paper. Artificial flowers can not only keep fresh and beautiful for a long time, but also let you do whatever you want according to the season and needs: spring is arranged by you, summer is cool and handy, autumn can be golden for harvest, and winter can warm your eyes; Roses can be used to express love at any time, and peonies can be picked anywhere to convey blessings. Lifelike appearance, various shapes, longer viewing period and richer modelling technique are the powerful reasons why people like artificial flowers. In China, artificial flowers have become a daily necessity. No matter the opening ceremony, wedding banquet, office and home environment, there are artificial flowers. It is reported that the sales of artificial flowers increase at a rate of 40% every year. In foreign countries, especially developed countries in Europe, America and Southeast Asia, more and more people like handmade products, and artificial flowers are more popular because of their unique advantages. In 2004, China exported 60 billion artificial flowers, which became one of the important industries to earn foreign exchange through export. The shapes of artificial flowers are free and varied, and can be shaped by weaving, folding, folding, rolling, winding, bending, binding and gluing. Artificial flowers are widely used, such as yarn, hemp, wool, wood, polyester, non-woven fabric, paper, wool fiber and so on. Wide range of materials, simple and easy-to-learn technology, casual modeling and good product sales are the fundamental reasons why the artificial flower processing industry is favored by more and more small and medium-sized investors. The artificial flowers are vivid and delicate in shape, but have long vitality, and are not feminine: the stems are bent at will, the leaves are curled at will, and the petals are not afraid of friction and deformation, which is convenient for storage, packaging and transportation. This is the direct driving force for the vigorous development of artificial flower trade. The design of artificial flowers originated from western developed countries. Because fresh cut flowers and fresh plants have been studied to breed various harmful microorganisms in people's living space, but they are rejected by hospitals and high-end houses, artificial flowers have become a new pursuit direction for flower lovers. Because artificial flowers are mostly made of silk, silk and cloth, they are very environmentally friendly; Because of its vivid and lifelike flower effect, it satisfies people's desire for flowers; In addition, designers use charm color matching, clever collocation and high-grade materials to make artificial flower ornaments enter the noble and elegant fashion hall. The artificial flower ornaments won a great victory as soon as they were launched. From home to hotels, from individuals to groups, from decorations to gifts, artificial flowers everywhere have created tens of billions of dollars in international market value. As a rising star, the China market is also growing at an annual demand rate of 35%. Last year, the market scale reached15 billion RMB. Now people over the age of 25 may have memories of plastic flowers. Bright yellow, red and green, with the unique flash and smell of plastic, bloom on the desks and cabinets of fashionable people. But if someone still puts plastic flowers at home, they will definitely be laughed at as "old-fashioned". Because artificial flowers have already surpassed its "plastic age".

According to reports, the current development trend of artificial flowers is:

I. Environmental protection of materials

Non-toxic and harmless materials are increasingly used in the production of artificial flowers. Chemical fiber cloth, silk thread, pure cotton cloth, silk, hemp, paper, wood and foam can all be used as "flowers".

Second, the process is refined.

The slightly old color of high-quality artificial flowers does not give people a sense of ruin, which is determined by their meticulous workmanship. Meticulous to every calyx, every stamen and every part of modern artificial flowers can stand scrutiny, which truly embodies the word "simulation".

Third, color softening.

In order to conform to the retro trend, artificial flowers are getting farther and farther away from bright colors, and imitation of the old and low-key is becoming more and more popular, just like the dim color weathered by the sun, which is most suitable for the natural and simple home style of accessories.

Fourth, variety diversification.

In terms of texture, there are the following kinds of artificial flowers popular in the flower market at present.

1, paper flower

The advantage of paper flower is that it is easy to shape and color, and the price is relatively low. The price of some handmade roses with fine workmanship in the market is generally around 5 yuan, but their fresh-keeping time is slightly lower than that in the cloth flower.

Generally, it is single-layer or double-layer, with full and strong petals, which has the unique beauty of simplicity and simplicity in Cruciferae. The simple shape is also convenient for cleaning.

3. the cloth flower

Generally speaking, the cloth flower is characterized by stable color, diverse patterns and long preservation time, among which the flowers made of chemical fiber non-woven fabrics are delicate in color and not easy to be damaged; Silk flower is soft in color and delicate in texture; Flowers made of pure cotton and flax are simple and natural, and have the effect of returning to nature.

4, foam flowers

Foamed flowers are generally used to make fruits, nuts or bulbs, and their extremely light weight makes them suitable for various flower arrangement shapes. Lotus root and other shapes coated with gold and silver powder are hot items on the market this year. In terms of technological characteristics, artificial flowers can be divided into two categories: hand-made flowers and machine-made flowers. Handmade flowers are diverse, simple and natural. The machine pattern has good coordination and is generally detachable; From the origin, artificial flowers are imported and made in China; There are many different kinds of artificial flowers. ......
