Comparison of Wallpaper Suppliers in China, Vietnam, and India: Insights from Runpwell’s Sales Manager

By Dora, Sales Manager at Runpwell

Through years of collaboration with international clients and managing the global wallpaper supply chain, I have gained a profound understanding of the opportunities and challenges across different regions. China, Vietnam, and India each offer their unique advantages but also face common industry-wide problems. At Runpwell, we have developed professional capabilities specifically to address these pain points and build our competitive strengths.

Common Challenges Across the Global Wallpaper Supply Chain

1. Consistency in Product Quality As order volumes scale up, suppliers in China, Vietnam, and India often struggle to maintain consistent product quality. Stability of raw materials, strict process control, and efficient production management are critical factors that determine consistency.

2. Weak Intellectual Property Protection Clients often worry that design files may be used without authorization or that product designs may be quickly copied, undermining brand uniqueness and long-term competitiveness.

3. Insufficient Delivery Flexibility and Timeliness With rapidly shifting global consumer demand, some suppliers lag behind in production scheduling and struggle to handle small-batch adjustments, resulting in missed sales windows or higher operational costs.

4. Increasing Environmental Compliance Requirements Markets such as Europe and North America have raised standards for product safety and environmental compliance. Many suppliers lack the full technical capabilities and experience to meet international certification standards, exposing clients to potential import risks.

5. Cross-Cultural Communication Barriers Differences in business habits, technical standards, and project execution logic often lead to misunderstandings that amplify risks during project execution and after-sales service.

Specific Supply Challenges in Major Markets China’s Main Challenges

Excessive price competition forces some small factories to compromise quality for low pricing, causing batch inconsistencies.

Some suppliers still struggle with design plagiarism and weak IP protection awareness.

While large-scale production is an advantage, flexibility can be lacking for small-batch, high-frequency, rapid-response orders.

The pace of industry-wide environmental transformation is uneven; some factories lack complete international environmental certification systems.

Vietnam’s Main Challenges

The overall industrial chain is still developing, with limited product variety and complex process capabilities, making it difficult to support multi-category, high-value product development.

Certain factories have lower levels of automation, limiting capacity expansion.

Limited international project management experience leads to difficulties in managing complex large-scale project deliveries.

Professional design and R&D capabilities need further development, and systematic original design output is not yet fully established.

India’s Main Challenges

Heavy reliance on handicraft production brings artistic value but longer lead times and challenges in batch consistency.

Lack of standardized and automated systems makes it difficult to meet stable large-scale production needs.

Factory management systems are not yet as mature as in China, with uncertainties in quality control and delivery management.

IP protection awareness is improving, but industry-wide legal enforcement and contract management still require enhancement.
