In the next few years, there will be two main production situations in domestic panel furniture factories: one is the large-scale production of group enterprises, where the enterprise’s investment is in place at one time and the process is complex. It generally purchases fully automatic cutting machines, automatic loading and unloading processing centers and other automation levels. The other is that some small and medium-sized enterprises or individual producers purchase or add equipment in order to meet the needs of the local market. The process requirements are relatively simple, and the equipment must be economical and durable, such as purchasing fully automatic CNC cutting machines and automatic tool changes. Engraving machines and edge banding machines can be used to undertake cabinet wardrobe, furniture processing and other businesses.

The so-called panel furniture refers to furniture made of artificial boards as the basic material, equipped with various stickers or veneers, and decorated with edge sealing and spray painting. Compared with solid wood furniture, it has two main characteristics: first, it is not easy to deform, can be disassembled and installed, and is convenient for transportation and storage. It can be said that the appearance design of panel furniture has more changes and is more personalized. The second is to save wood resources and improve wood utilization. These two points are the main factors for the rapid development of panel furniture in today’s market.

The development of domestic panel furniture mainly began in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it has experienced a development process from scratch, from childishness to maturity. The current local furniture and cabinet production market is going through a development process similar to that of the first batch of domestic panel furniture companies ten years ago, but with new characteristics, such as: the market has shifted from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, and the entire panel furniture production industry has undergone changes. There has been an essential change, and the proportion of domestically produced equipment has exceeded 90%. In addition, most of the main raw materials (sheets, paints) and auxiliary materials and hardware accessories produced are domestically produced, and the employees in the industry are also much more mature and stronger than before. Under the current circumstances, the demand for furniture, cabinets, etc. is increasing or the requirements are improving. Accordingly, manufacturers, especially first-time practitioners, are required to first ensure the quality, accuracy and after-sales service of the processing equipment used.
