Tidying and Storage Retention: Conversations with Space, People and Objects

On April 18th, the Ministry of Commerce's website released the "Several Measures on Promoting the Expansion and Upgrading of Household Service Consumption" notice. It especially encourages household service enterprises to expand into emerging service areas such as professional in-depth cleaning and tidying and storage. It points out that there should be strengthened cross-border integration and development with industries like decoration and home furnishings to further enrich the supply of products and services and better meet consumers' personalized, high-quality and diversified needs.

In China, the profession of tidying and storage specialists is a new one in recent years. However, globally, this profession has been developed for more than forty years. Moreover, it is not only about organizing items but also involves systematic behaviors in multiple dimensions such as space planning and psychological adjustment. In this issue of Wenmai, by interviewing a local tidying and storage team in Huizhou, we can feel the impact brought by tidying and storage up close and catch a glimpse of the relationship between people and things in tidying and storage.

With the stricter environmental protection requirements, the upgrading of the industrial structure, and the formulation and improvement of various industry standards, low-end products will gradually withdraw from the market. Leading manufacturers in the industry, relying on excellent product quality, good reputation and rich channels, will further consolidate their leading positions, and the industry concentration will increase further.

At the same time, for storage products, in addition to practicality and functionality requirements, people will pay more attention to their characteristics in terms of convenience, health, environmental protection, fashion, personalization, etc. New consumption concepts and trends will further promote the differentiation of enterprises in the industry. A number of enterprises with insufficient technical strength, weak design and brand capabilities, and poor user experience will be eliminated, and the competitive positions of leading enterprises in the industry will be further enhanced, promoting the improvement of industry concentration.
