If the private economy is described as "grassroots economy", then Nankang furniture industry is a typical "grassroots industry". In the early 1990s, Nankang people who worked in Guangdong completed their capital accumulation and began to return to their hometowns to start businesses. At this point, this "grassroots industry" has become a pillar industry supporting Nankang's economy. Nankang Furniture City is the gathering place of these enterprises. With the support of Nankang government, Furniture City has accommodated thousands of enterprises and become a big platform for furniture sales.
There are many enterprises in the furniture city, including solid wood furniture, leather furniture factories, sofas, beds, tables and chairs and other products, which are sold all over the world.
Nankang Furniture Market is now another national large-scale furniture wholesale and sales base besides Lecong in Guangdong, Xianghe in Hebei, Likou in Suzhou and Wuhou in Sichuan.
