CHINA STEPS UP TO SPUR CONSUMER DEMAND
China’s State Council released an action plan this March to initiate large-scale equipment upgrades and trade-ins of consumer goods. Over the past few months, the action plan has been translated into concrete policy measures by relevant departments and local governments, injecting fresh impetus into the consumer market and generating positive initial effects on the economy.
Flooring and building materials’ products are also among the categories that will benefit from these schemes. Notably, Shanghai has taken the lead by rolling out detailed rules for its consumer goods trade-in schemes, offering up to 20% subsidies for the acquisition of flooring, doors, suspended ceilings, and other decoration materials.
The nearby province of Zhejiang provides a 20% subsidy for old house renovation materials, while Jiangsu supports the application of green building materials with a 15% subsidy. Other cities and provinces such as Beijing, Chongqing, Fujian and Yunnan have also incorporated their own schemes targeting old houses renovations and elderly-friendly modifications, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to boosting consumption and enhancing living standards.
