As the most important component of residential decoration, kitchen and bathroom decoration will undoubtedly usher in new opportunities at the moment of the arrival of the spring tide of finished residential decoration. In general, China's kitchen and health industry develops more rapidly in 2016 than it did in 2015.
In 2015, with the upgrading of consumer demand, China's economy in the new normal, whole decorate finished housing process is accelerated, rise of the Internet home outfit into brand centralization development process of hutch defends industry participants will face a full and cruel market competition.

2. Characteristics of kitchen and bathroom market.
1. The market channel sinks, and the potential of the third and fourth tier cities is great.
China's vast third-tier and fourth-tier cities are an emerging market with rich potential and rapid development. Research shows that the kitchen and health industry will develop in two major directions in the future: the core area of the city in large cities, and the release of the consumption capacity brought by the new urbanization. Hutch defends the brand competition is intense, in the provincial channels under the condition of channel resources to excess, every three or four line city rising consumer purchasing power of huge market potential, and attract the brands are testing the waters. It is inevitable that the marketing channel of the kitchen and bathroom will sink.
At present, China's urbanization rate has exceeded 50%. In the process of urbanization, with the increase of residents' income and the improvement of living environment, consumers also have greater and greater demand for kitchen and health products. The national bureau of statistics predicts that every one percentage point increase in China's urbanization rate will drive 7 trillion yuan in market demand. The improvement of urbanization rate represents the change of consumer lifestyle, which will greatly promote the kitchen and bathroom products. Compared with other major appliances, at present our country hutch defends the product family of hundreds of home ownership is still in a lower level, with the improving of the people's income and the manufacturer for the further promotion of kitchen appliances, as well as the constant improvement of urbanization level, domestic hutch defends for the future products, I will the growing to lay a good foundation.
In this trend, many kitchen and health enterprises have set their sights on the huge potential of the development of the urban market at the third and fourth levels. Way of channel sinks, quick take three or four line market is not new, the development of market economy at the county level to drive home decoration, household consumption demand also become a channel sink potential lies. It can be seen that the vast space contained in the third-level and fourth-level urban market has become the engine driving the sales growth of kitchen and bathroom products. Statistics show that the proportion of "channel sinks" in kitchen cabinets is as high as 92%. Channel sinking season has coming, enterprises should not miss the tide of development, but open up new areas not easily, the reform and development model is more difficult, many brands in channel sinks, find themselves don't adapt to sink after market channels. Investigate its reason is in the channel before sinking, not for their own brand positioning, product series and system research and analysis on the price system, but based on their past the marketing pattern of large and medium-sized cities, the result is no return after sinking agents and market growth. Therefore, only by not blindly expanding, measuring our own strength and balancing the relations between all parties, can we give full play to the benefits of channel sinking.
2. Market reshuffle of kitchen and health industry is accelerated and concentration is increased
In 2014, it was the watershed of the development of the hutch industry. Before that, the overall market of hutch was in a state of growth.

This in addition to China's overall economy enters the new normal, consumer demand to upgrade, also with labor costs, raw material and energy costs, capital cost, environmental cost, respectively, after the rise of the dilemma about the high cost, and is the inevitable law of industry development to a certain stage. Even if there is a new boom in the real estate market in 2016, it will not prevent the coming of the hutch industry adjustment period. In the future, the overall performance of the kitchen and bathroom industry will be improved by the brand concentration.
Currently, hutch defends each category of the head segment businesses is not much, such as kitchen cabinets, bathroom, kitchen electrical, ceramic tile category of brand concentration is higher and higher, the second - and third-tier brand of living space will be compressed, the competition will be more to strengthen on the level of brand, no brand based out of the small and medium-sized enterprises will face with the brand enterprise as the center of the group will appear in succession. Even in hutch defends industry brand kitchen electric field of the opposite concentration, 2016 domestic hutch electricity market is characterized by the cruel shuffle, Mr D cloud network, according to data from the smoke lampblack machine, kitchen burning gas, disinfection cabinet three chef electric products in 2016 than in 2015 fell by more than 100 brands, cruel competition.
With the concentration of industry and the penetration of capital, the kitchen and sanitation industry will have the tendency of strong and weak, and the brand concentration will be further strengthened. Hutch defends market is expected to enter the period of low or relatively slow growth, along with the market pressure, large hutch defends brand into three level 4 market or villages and towns can accelerate the speed of the market, the market share of the industry leading enterprises continue to expand, and through the transformation and upgrade, integration strategy, promote the development of enterprises into a more large-scale orbit. The survival space and profit space for small and medium-sized brands will become smaller and smaller, and a batch of small and medium-sized enterprises with weak comprehensive strength will fail, and the phenomenon of brand elimination will accelerate. There will be a small number of national companies, as well as many local brands.
