中国大件家具出海的自我救赎：从库存危机到市场重构
The Self-Redemption of China's Oversized Furniture Export: From Inventory Crisis to Market Restructuring
2022年成为中国跨境家具企业的"清库存元年"。亚马逊家具卖家何正描述道："海外仓的库存只是冰山一角，国内还有大量货物滞压，有的甚至占用生产车间通道"。美国商务部数据显示，2022年美国家具零售额仅增长1%，创零售业最低增幅。
2022 marked the "Year of Inventory Clearance" for Chinese cross-border furniture companies. Amazon furniture seller He Zheng described: "Overseas warehouse inventory is just the tip of the iceberg, with massive domestic stockpiles even blocking factory passages". US Commerce Department data shows 2022 furniture retail growth of just 1%, the lowest in retail sectors.
