As the biggest manufacturing country and the biggest exporter in furniture industry, China has owned a certain scale of industrial clusters and has transferred its focus from the quantity to the quality of the products. However, affected by overcapacity, rising factor costs and other factors, the furniture industry is entering the low-speed development period. The furniture industry needs to further explore opportunities to achieve the transformation and upgrading.Government procurement is one of the important measures to speed up the development of the furniture industry. In recent years, the scope and scale of government procurement of furniture have been widened. Orders of ten million or even billion yuan appeared frequently. Our furniture Government Procurement mainly includes government-based office furniture procurement and school furniture procurement. Green procurement has been promoted and the procurement scale in the eastern region is comparatively prominent.The continuous expansion and growth of the market size of furniture government procurement provide a rare opportunity of development for China’s furniture enterprises, helping furniture companies turn to meticulous management, improve the degree of specialization, build brand, and enhance the ability to resist risks. The future trend of China’s furniture market segments will become more apparent. The furniture purchase for indemnificatory housing will have great potential. Small and micro furniture businesses are expected to further develop with the support of the current government procurement policy. But there are many problems involved in domestic government procurement process in the furniture purchase, for example, the bidding of some companies may not be professional, and some enterprises adopt unconventional competitive strategies such as throat price competition, falsification of documents, and bid-rigging.China’s accession to GPA is inevitable. The opening up of the government procurement market will have a profound impact on China’s economy, society, politics, diplomacy, and China’s government procurement system. The domestic furniture industry will face a more intense competition in the market, companies bidding capability will be under a severe test, and there will be a possible huge loss of talent. But on the other hand, the accession to the GPA will also open a broader market, create a favorable competitive environment, and enhance the international competitiveness for the Chinese furniture enterprises.China’s furniture enterprises should make full use of the opportunities to join the GPA. By creating core products, developing specific market segments, improving management, strengthening technical innovation, China’s furniture enterprises should enhance their competitiveness, make use of their home advantages, improve inadequate tender operation, maintain and raise the existing market share of the domestic government procurement of furniture, thus reducing or eliminating technical barriers set up by the United States, Europe, Japan and other GPA Parties, creating a complete green furniture industry chain, strengthening international cooperation and exchanges, and actively participating in international government procurement to win a place in the competition.
