This week’s topic: drastic changes in Japan’s home furnishing industry, a brief analysis of YIDELI nitori’s success against the trend. Japan’s furniture industry was in a boom period from 1980 to 1991. In 1991, Japan’s furniture retail sales peaked, but then began to decline all the way. We believe that the main reasons for the prosperity and decline of Japan’s home furnishing industry are the decline of real estate dividends and the obvious change of consumption tendency in Japan. In this process, nitori went against the trend. We believe that the main reason is that on the one hand, the company timely grasped the market characteristics and paid attention to changing low-frequency consumption into high-frequency consumption in product category layout and channel development; On the other hand, the production and efficient logistics and storage system can effectively reduce the company’s costs.
