Please contact@et2cint.com The World of Brand and High-End Furniture Our journey at CIFF began with a brief exploration of the world of branded and high-end furniture. While this segment wasn't directly aligned with our business or clientele, it's always inspiring to see the creativity that goes into these pieces. In just 45 minutes, we had a quick look at what this part of the exhibition offered. Furniture and Factories: Where the Magic Happens  However, where we truly immersed ourselves was in the realm of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) furniture and factories. It's in these special spaces that the heart of furniture production beats. There were a number of interesting and powerful new trend concepts on display at the show. 3 trends in particular caught our eye as having strong consumer adoption and potential to drive strong innovation. 1.Breaking Through the Boundary Between the City and Nature As the markets for both outdoor furniture and camping grow consumers are increasingly interested in furniture that can work in both contexts or inspire the feel of nature in their own outdoor space . Between 2022 and 2027, the global market for outdoor furniture will witness significant growth, increasing by US$5.2 billion, with an annual growth rate of 3.28%. Camping furniture is also on the rise, the global camping market is expected to increase by US$2 billion at an annual growth rate of 6.99%. Developing great opportunities for retailers in this evolving trend. 2. Blurring the Line: Indoor Meets Outdoor One theme that emerged at CIFF 2023 is the diminishing boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces. The concept of "lightweight outdoor" is on trend, with outdoor furniture being developed for easy storage. It's no longer just about nature; it's about seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Outdoor spaces are becoming more accessible and integral to our daily lives. “Outdoor is not only about nature, but also about the mix between indoor and outdoor. Outdoor is easy to be reached by people.” Commented ET2C China office’s Business Development Manager Wendy Xu. 3. A Sustainable Approach Sustainability was another dominant theme. The furniture industry is increasingly focusing on sustainable materials. As we confront environmental challenges, we will see more responsible practices and eco-friendly materials in the world of furniture design. Consumers all over the world are seeking more environmentally positive choices in their furniture purchase, usage and through its end of life. China's Growing Role in Furniture Production In the domestic market, China is still in the initial stages of embracing outdoor furniture. Interestingly, most of the business in this segment is oriented towards overseas markets. As China's domestic demand grows and aligns with global trends, we can anticipate exciting developments in the outdoor furniture sector. CIFF 2023 provided a glimpse into the future of furniture, where boundaries blur, sustainability reigns, and creativity knows no limits. It's an exciting time to be part of an industry that's evolving and innovating with every passing year. Whether you're a furniture enthusiast, a designer, or a business owner, the world of furniture design is constantly evolving. Stay tuned for more updates and insights.

If you would like to explore sourcing opportunities or see how we have worked with clients to manage risk, quality and compliance across their supply chain.   Please message us at contact@et2cint.com we would be happy to share some examples of how we work.  Managing key risk areas  The first task in managing risk is to understand and bring visibility to the diverse risk elements in a sourcing strategy.  Whilst many of these issues can be managed with a degree of simplicity for shorter or in country supply chains. As supply chains and partners become extended across market and time zones the challenges can mount.   Overall risk assessment and mitigation should be approached by breaking down overall risk into core areas. The extension across the globe can build complexity.  Identification, assessment and management can be more easily managed when broken down into core elements.    Supplier Evaluation and Selection: Conduct thorough due diligence and assess potential suppliers based on their track record, reputation, financial stability, production capabilities, quality control measures, and compliance with regulations.    Supplier Relationship Management: Establish strong relationships with your suppliers based on trust, open communication, and transparency. Regular communication and shared vision can move relationship from one of delivering forecast to one built on partnership and shared vision for growth.   Diversification of Suppliers: Avoid overreliance on a single supplier or region. Diversify your supplier base to minimize the impact of disruptions, such as natural disasters, political instability, or changes in trade policies. Building strong supplier relationships can be create resilience in your supply chain but having potential back up suppliers can be valuable.   Risk Assessment and Contingency Planning: Identify potential risks that could impact your sourcing operations, such as supply chain disruptions, currency fluctuations, quality issues, or regulatory changes. Develop contingency plans to address these risks, including alternative sourcing options, backup suppliers, and risk mitigation strategies.   Quality Control and Product Testing: Implement stringent quality control measures to ensure that products meet your specified standards. Conduct regular inspections, audits, and product testing to verify compliance with quality requirements and safety regulations. Implementing robust quality control processes helps minimize the risk of receiving substandard products.   Intellectual Property Protection: Protect your intellectual property rights by implementing appropriate legal measures, such as non-disclosure agreements, trademarks, copyrights, and patents. Work with suppliers who respect and adhere to intellectual property regulations and have a clear understanding of your IP protection requirements.   Compliance and Ethical Standards: Ensure that your suppliers comply with ethical and social responsibility standards. Verify that they adhere to labor laws, environmental regulations, and international standards, such as the International Labor Organization (ILO) conventions and responsible sourcing initiatives.    Continuous Monitoring and Performance Evaluation: Regularly monitor the performance of your suppliers and evaluate their ability to meet your expectations. Continuous monitoring allows you to identify potential risks and take corrective actions proactively.   Supply Chain Transparency: Establish transparency in your supply chain by mapping the entire sourcing process and understanding the various tiers of suppliers involved. Promote ethical practices, sustainability, and traceability throughout the supply chain to mitigate risks related to social and environmental impacts.   Stay Informed and Engage Experts: Stay updated on global market trends, economic indicators, geopolitical developments, and regulatory changes that may impact your sourcing operations. Engage industry experts, consultants, or sourcing partners who have in-depth knowledge and experience in global sourcing to provide guidance and insights. Summary Releasing the value of Global Sourcing   The benefits of a strong global sourcing strategy are clear but to fully realise all the benefits requires planning and focus. As many procurement and sourcing teams are under huge time pressure and so may not have the time of the skill sets to deliver a global sourcing strategy. Working with a trusted partner with a track record of delivery can be critical can ensure that the benefits are delivered without any of the pitfalls.

What are the likely impacts to economies and sourcing strategies of this power weather event ?  What is El Niño   The name El Nino is widely used to describe the warming of sea surface temperature that occurs every few years, typically concentrated in the central-east equatorial Pacific.  An El Niño is declared when sea temperatures in the tropical eastern Pacific rise 0.5°C above the long-term average. El Niño is felt strongly in the tropical eastern Pacific with warmer than average weather.  The effects of El Niño often peak during December; it’s name “the boy” is thought to have originated as “El Niño de Navidad“ centuries ago when Peruvian fishermen named the weather phenomenon after the new-born Christ.  “We just had the eight warmest years on record, even though we had a cooling La Niña for the past three years and this acted as a temporary brake on global temperature increase. The development of an El Niño will most likely lead to a new spike in global heating and increase the chance of breaking temperature records,” said WMO Secretary-General Prof. Petteri Taalas.  How does a weather phenomenon impact Global trade ?  While the specific impacts of El Niño on global trade can vary depending on the region and industry, there are some general effects to consider. These could impact Global Sourcing Strategies from both Supply and Demand side. Consumers may react to changing weather patterns increasing their demand for Air Con, Fans and a range of Cooling products. In areas where the effect is to increase temperature.  Supply chains for Global Sourcing could see potential issues particularly in the Panama Canal as reduced water levels slow the speed of shipping through this critical navigation way. More specifically we could see a broad range of issues developing in certain sectors:   Agricultural Sector: El Niño can disrupt agricultural production in various parts of the world. It can lead to droughts in some regions and heavy rainfall in others, affecting crop yields and livestock production. Energy Sector: El Niño can impact the energy sector, particularly in regions where hydroelectric power generation is significant. The altered precipitation patterns can affect water availability for hydropower, reducing electricity generation. This can have implications for energy prices and trade in energy commodities. Shipping and Logistics: El Niño can disrupt maritime transportation due to altered weather conditions, including storms and increased wave heights from increase in Tropical Cyclones in the Pacific. This can result in port closures, delays in shipments, and increased transportation costs. Trade flows can be affected as a result, with potential impacts on the delivery of goods and global supply chains. Natural Resources and Commodities: El Niño can influence the availability and prices of various natural resources and commodities. Fishing and Arable farming can all be effected negatively by the impact of an El Niño event Insurance and Financial Markets: El Niño can increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and floods. This can have implications for insurance companies and financial markets due to increased claims and potential losses.   It’s important to note that the specific impact of El Niño on global trade can vary from event to event and is influenced by various factors such as the strength and duration of the El Niño, regional climate patterns, and the resilience and adaptability of different industries and economies.   The last significant El Niño event occurred from 2015 to 2016 and had notable impacts on global trade and economies. According to Bloomberg Economics modelling, previous El Niños resulted in a marked impact on global inflation, adding 3.9 percentage points to non-energy commodity prices and 3.5 points to oil. They also hit growth to gross domestic product, especially in Brazil, Australia, India and other vulnerable countries.  The potential risks to supply lines from El Nino could be big enough that companies start scenario planning for the trading impacts and adjusting their Sourcing strategies. Ensuring they can make early adjustments in their Sourcing strategies and supply chain management.   ET2C are a leading Global Sourcing Company, working with our clients for over 20 years to Make Global Sourcing Simple.
