Home texiles industry
Duvets, pillows, mattresses and box springs, bed linen: the textile bed. A manufacturing market of just over EUR 2 billion in Europe and yet in a state of flux, in the last 20 years Europeanisation, IKEA/EMMA/XXXLutz-isation and discounting, defragmentation and relocation of production to EU Eastern Europe and China with 24/7 highly automated production workloads with rising prices per minute in wages in EU Eastern Europe too, freight rate fluctuations, energy price increases for finishing and printing textiles, online sales and loss of market share by mattress assemblers. Assortment combinations of soft goods plus mattress and/or bed linen or inexpensive take-away items, differentiation between high-end and discount below the brand discount, logistics concepts, purchasing advantages, exclusive components, lead time management in procurement from Asia, currency hedging, shop-in-shops, private label versus branded products, online sales also with new combinations of value-added processes. We know the right solutions. It is calculated in cent, or the differentiation in the top niche makes a difference.
