Market Analysis
2.1 Market Situation of Anhui Guofeng Wood Plastic Composite Co., Ltd.
After years of development, Anhui Guofeng has established a firm foothold in the domestic market. Its products are widely used in municipal engineering, landscaping, architectural decoration, and other fields, especially in some low-end and mid-end markets, with a certain market share. Guofeng has gained a good reputation in the domestic market by relying on the stability and price advantages of its products.
However, with the intensification of industry competition and the upgrading of market demand, Guofeng is facing increasingly severe challenges. In particular, although Guofeng has relatively mature production technology, its strength in product innovation and high-end market development is relatively weak. Due to the fierce competition in the domestic market, price wars have become an important means for Guofeng to maintain its market share, which also limits the improvement of its brand value.
In terms of the international market, Guofeng has gradually opened up markets in Asia, Europe, and other regions, but compared with leading domestic companies, Guofeng’s competitiveness in the international market is still insufficient.
2.2 Market Situation of Hosung WPC
In just a few years, Hosung has achieved remarkable results in both domestic and foreign markets with its innovative products and high-quality services. In particular, the launch of 3D deep embossed wood plastic flooring has not only improved the market competitiveness of its products but also attracted a large number of high-end customers and project cooperation.
Hosung attaches great importance to brand building and market positioning, especially in its focus on the high-end market, which has won it a large number of high-end projects such as high-end residential communities, commercial plazas, and high-end hotels. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, Hosung’s advantages in product environmental performance will make it more advantageous in future market competition.
In terms of the international market, Hosung’s products have successfully entered Europe, America, the Middle East, and other regions, and its performance in these markets has been widely recognized. With its strong R&D strength and international strategic layout, Hosung will undoubtedly occupy a more important position in the global wood-plastic composite material market.
