Research background

Longjiang Town, as the core hub for furniture manufacturing in Shunde, is known as the 'Home of Furniture Materials.' Its furniture raw material and auxiliary material industry not only serves local enterprises in Guangdong but also extends across the entire national furniture manufacturing supply chain. However, as the maturity of the supply chain increases and external economic conditions shift, Longjiang is facing growing pressure in terms of land, labor, and energy, leading to a visible trend of industrial migration toward surrounding regions and even beyond the province. Amidst the coexistence of industrial upgrading and regional competition, there is an urgent need to reevaluate the spatial layout and market support requirements of the furniture industry in Longjiang, in order to identify new development opportunities.

Research scope

Recently, CEIDEA Research has been commissioned by Gao De Property Group and its third-party planning partner to conduct an in-depth study of large-scale, specialized furniture and auxiliary material markets within Longjiang and its surrounding areas. This research focuses on systematically sampling and on-site visits to examine market distribution patterns, development stages, rental and sales conditions, current leasing activities, operational management models, brand concentration levels, and upstream and downstream supply chain support. The study identifies differentiated characteristics of each market in terms of positioning, function, and appeal. By integrating emerging trends such as green furniture, eco-friendly building materials, smart manufacturing, and low-carbon economies, the research analyzes future industrial upgrading directions and potential growth opportunities in the premium home furnishing market, and identifies new development trends for specialized markets.

Expected outcomes

This study will provide Gao De Property Group with comprehensive market insights for the development of premium home furnishing specialized market projects in the Longjiang region. The report will systematically present the current spatial distribution, operational challenges, and development potential of existing furniture and auxiliary material specialized markets, clearly outlining emerging trends in the premium market and evolving customer demand structures. Based on these findings, the report will propose recommendations on project positioning, functional layout, leasing strategies, and operational approaches. Ultimately, the findings will enable Gao De Property Group to accurately align with the core needs of regional industrial upgrading, achieve deep integration between commercial projects and the furniture industry, and establish a leading, high-end home furnishings industry platform.
