Office Chair Trade Export
Zhejiang region has demonstrated strong performance in the trade export of office chairs, with diverse and robust global demand for office chairs and specific standard requirements for exports to the EU. Details are as follows:
Outstanding Export Performance of Office Chairs in Zhejiang Region: From January to August this year, Zhejiang's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports reached 264.19 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.6%. Among them, Hangzhou Feitian Green Smart Home Co., Ltd. exported office chairs and other home products through the cross-border e-commerce overseas warehouse model, with export volume reaching 23.9607 million yuan from January to August, a year-on-year increase of more than 2.5 times. Anji, Zhejiang, as the largest office chair production base in the country, accounts for one-third of the domestic market's chair production volume and half of the national export volume. In recent years, through the empowerment of cross-border e-commerce to the industrial belt, it has achieved a phased leap from 'original equipment manufacturing' to 'brand going overseas'.
Specific Standards for Exports to the EU: When exporting office chairs to the EU market, they need to pass the EN 1335 standard test to obtain CE compliance certification. This standard is divided into three parts. EN 1335-1 defines size codes and static strength benchmarks, setting norms for the basic dimensions and strength of office chairs. EN 1335-2 specifies safety requirements, covering more than ten specific methods such as stability tests and chair wheel resistance tests to ensure the safety of office chairs during use. EN 1335-3 focuses on ergonomic evaluation, emphasizing the combination of subjective and objective indicators to ensure that office chairs comply with ergonomic principles and improve user comfort.
Diverse and Robust Global Market Demand: The global market has diverse and robust demand for office desks and chairs. The European market shows significant growth momentum, with the French market growing by more than 125%, and the growth rates in Italy, Spain, the UK, and Germany also exceeding 60%, 54%, 48%, and 38% respectively. Emerging markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America also show great potential. For example, orders in Argentina have increased by more than 101% year-on-year, Chile by more than 70%, and Saudi Arabia by more than 40%.
