Origami Lamp business

—-Self-shaping fabrication

Background

People are spending more time at home during this pandemic.

As millions of consumers are buying new homes and renovating their current homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the retail home furnishings category has seen tremendous growth in both site traffic and spending.

Opportunity

There is a new trend in interior design and home decoration:

  • Natural and sustainable material
  • Lighter space
  • Purchase of unique and original design

Problems

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the production of the table lamp market as several manufacturing units in various countries were initially shut down to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease. The shortage of manpower has also caused an inability to produce the table lamp.
  • The e-commerce platform for shipping the table lamp has been affected due to the late deliveries and transportation restrictions. 
  • The export and import ban in several countries has led to difficulty in raw material procurement.
  • Expensive table lamps, (especially handmade ones) availability of alternative products, and other lighting devices hinder the market growth.
