The sales of building materials and home furnishing stores above designated size in China achieved both year-on-year and month-on-month growth in June

On July 15, the information compiled and released by the China Building Materials Circulation Association, which was approved by the Circulation Industry Development Department of the Ministry of Commerce, showed that the national building materials and home furnishing prosperity index (BHI) was 121.61 in June, up 4.97 points year-on-year. The sales of building materials and home furnishing stores above designated size nationwide increased by 4.89% month-on-month and 7.93% year-on-year. While competition in the home furnishing industry is becoming increasingly fierce in the first half of 2024, the industry as a whole is pregnant with huge opportunities. Affected by seasonal factors such as hot weather and heavy rain in the south, the BHI fell in June, but under the incentive of the "old for new" policy, the boost of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and the "618" large-scale promotional activities, coupled with the company's half-year impulse strategy, the sales of building materials and home furnishing stores above designated size nationwide reached 135.106 billion yuan in June, up 4.89% month-on-month and 7.93% year-on-year.

Yazhen Home Furnishing responds to the Shanghai Stock Exchange's regulatory work letter

On July 15, Yazhen Home Furnishing issued a reply announcement regarding the Shanghai Stock Exchange's information disclosure supervision work letter on the company's 2023 annual report, explaining the reasons and rationality for the company's sharp decline in operating income. Yazhen Home Furnishing said that the company's marketing and promotion currently relies mostly on offline channels. In recent years, due to market planning adjustments, the number of the company's stores has declined significantly, and the online promotion and traffic diversion capabilities are not strong. At the same time, as the post-80s and post-90s have become the main consumer groups in the home furnishing market, their consumption concepts are significantly different from those of the previous generation, and the customer flow has been greatly reduced compared to the past. In addition, the rapid development of the custom furniture industry has led to a sharp decline in the company's various types of event furniture revenue in recent years.
