Role in the supply chain

What this actor solves, rather than simply “selling goods”.

Actors and relationships

Typical buyers

Domestic furniture dealers, real-estate and hotel project buyers, e-commerce sellers, overseas wholesalers and contractors.

Factories, traders and market organisers

Showrooms may be factory-direct, regional dealers or traders; some offer OEM/ODM, customs and container-loading services, while production may be outsourced to nearby factories.

MOQ, samples, customisation and lead time

These terms often matter more than unit price when testing or replenishing an order.

Orders are often by container or mixed container; samples can be bought singly. Custom size, material, colour and hardware affect MOQ, sampling fees and lead time.

Advantages and limitations

Advantages

Broad style and category coverage, multiple showrooms in one trip, and relatively mature project and export services.

Limitations to understand

Furniture is bulky with high freight and installation costs; showrooms and factories are not always the same entity. Market-size and dealer counts differ between government and operator sources and should be presented side by side.

Discussion questions

For classroom discussion; there is no single correct answer.

Q1

With three showrooms offering the same furniture, how would you tell which is a factory and which is a trader?

Q2

When furniture is ordered by container, which costs rise with packing volume and installation services?
