The logistic difficulties are the major hurdle to the fulfillment of operations in this very populous city, mainly related to the timely deliveries. The auction-driven pricing models are another unique financial uncertainty, which is different from what other sectors experience, and they definitely affect the profits. In addition, material shortgages and especially regional ones are a heavier load for this industry, and these mostly result from international supply chain disruptions.
Businesses in the furniture sector also deal with the problems that many other industries encounter. The main one is the high employee turnover, which causes obstacles in the quest to have a stable workforce. Besides, the growing cost of real estate in Hong Kong results in a rise in the operational costs, which is a problem faced across all sectors. The digital transformation requirement increases among the industries, which leads to thesame problems of the new technology adoption in the furniture sector-where tech adaptation has always been slow.
