As the trade tensions between China and the United States ease, the retail display industry is ushering in a long-awaited spring. As an industry vane, the order volume of fresh produce displays and custom grocery store displays has shown a V-shaped rebound, indicating a strong signal of industry recovery.
"It's like opening the floodgates," one of our senior account managers described it this way, "the suppressed demand in the past is being released rapidly." The latest data shows that since the United States canceled 91% of the additional tariffs on China in mid-May, our custom grocery store displays order volume has recovered to 85% of the pre-trade war level, and the number of inquiries for fresh produce displays has increased by 40% year-on-year.
Fresh produce display revolution: When opportunity meets innovation
In the United States, fresh produce consumption is undergoing a silent revolution. With the popularization of the concept of healthy eating, supermarkets' requirements for fresh produce displays have been upgraded from simple "display" to "experience creation." We noticed three significant changes:
1. Functional evolution: New mildew-proof materials and breathable structural designs have become standard
2. Technology integration: Demand for smart display racks with integrated temperature and humidity monitoring has surged
3. Aesthetic upgrade: Natural light simulation LED system enhances product appeal
"Tariff cuts allow customers to try more innovative solutions," our chief designer revealed, "Recently, a set of fresh produce displays that combines the concept of vertical planting has won the favor of three supermarket chains."
Customization wave: Every supermarket is looking for a unique language
If standardized products meet basic needs, then custom grocery store displays are defining the individual expression of retail space. We have observed several trends worth noting:
Modular design: can be quickly reorganized to adapt to seasonal promotions
Scenario-based display: create a "farm to table" storytelling experience
Intelligent integration: embed digital price tags and self-service checkout interfaces
A customer who just renewed a large order admitted: "We have invested all the tariff costs saved in customized upgrades. The sales increase brought by differentiated displays is far beyond expectations."
Supply chain reconstruction: from cost control to value creation
Tariff adjustments have brought not only price advantages, but also reshaped the entire supply chain ecosystem:
1. The average cost of raw material procurement has dropped by 18-22%
2. Logistics efficiency has increased by 30%
3. Sample proofing cycle has been shortened to 72 hours
"Now we can allocate global resources more flexibly," said our supply chain director, "such as purchasing special moisture-proof wood for fresh produce displays, or for Custom grocery stores "
The future is here: AR technology redefines display solutions
Standing at the turning point of industry recovery, we are accelerating digital transformation:
AR real-life preview: customers can view virtual display effects through mobile APP
3D real-time design: designers can modify the plan on site and generate quotations
Smart production: IoT system achieves seamless connection from design to production
"This is not only a recovery in order volume," our CEO concluded, "but also an opportunity for industry upgrade. By converting tariff dividends into product innovation, fresh produce displays and custom grocery store displays are redefining the boundaries of retail experience."
Five issues that customers care about most
Q: Under the new tariff policy, how has the cost-effectiveness of customized display cabinets changed?
A: Taking a typical Custom grocery store display as an example, the same budget can now get:
- Material upgrade: such as food-grade environmentally friendly paint
- Functional enhancement: such as adjustable lighting system
- Delivery acceleration: average delivery time is shortened by 5-7 days
Q: When is the best time to transform the fresh produce area?
A: Based on experience, the ideal cycle for updating fresh produce displays is:
1. 2-3 months before the peak season (to ensure debugging time)
2. When renovating the store (to achieve overall coordination)
3. New product launch season (maximize display effect)
Q: How to ensure quality consistency for small batch customization?
A: We have developed the following for small and medium-sized customers:
- Modular custom grocery store displays system
- Standardized connection components
- Digital quality inspection process
Q: How to evaluate the return on investment of display racks?
A: It is recommended to measure the value of fresh produce displays from three dimensions:
1. Reduced loss rate (usually up to 15-25%)
2. Increased sales (average 8-12%)
3. Extended customer stay time (about 30-45 seconds)
Q: Will there be new technology applications in the next six months?
A: We are about to launch:
- Smart custom grocery store displays with inventory sensing function
- fresh produce displays with self-cleaning coating
- Display solutions that support NFC interaction
