What is the reason for the current trend of closures in the antique collectibles market?

Currently, the national antique collectibles market is closing. Not only in the collection industry, vacant shops are indeed very common on domestic streets, especially in places where the flow of people is not particularly dense. Many people will say that it is the same across the country. Due to the influence of e-commerce, people now buy things online and don’t even go out to buy groceries.

The advantages of physical stores are getting smaller and smaller, and people are becoming more and more keen on online shopping.

The above three points are the reasons I have summarized for the increasing number of empty shops on domestic streets. The Hetian jade industry is no exception. Antique cities in various places have become vacant, closed and converted to production, which has become a common phenomenon. More Subletting, fire sales, liquidations, closures, etc. have occurred in the jade and collection markets. There is another most direct reason for the closure of jade and collection shops, that is, the large number of fake goods sold is also the root cause of the depression in antique cities.
