Home hardware market is still to be improved

Home hardware can be divided into general and special categories according to the settings. The former includes hinges, hinge slides, and the latter includes bathroom hardware and kitchen accessories. Among them, hinges, slide rails, hinges and locks are used most frequently in life and are therefore more important.

Market development tends to diversify As consumer demand continues to increase, greater demands and higher demands are placed on hardware accessories. Take the furniture industry, the quality and grade of furniture is mainly reflected in the selection of hardware accessories. Inconvenient use of furniture, to a large extent, is due to the improper selection or lack of hardware accessories. According to industry insiders, as long as there are corresponding hardware accessories, very complex multifunctional furniture can be produced. The value of hardware accessories in furniture accounted for 5%, but operating comfort accounted for 85%. It can be seen that the importance of hardware accessories in furniture.

In the past, home hardware emphasized more on its mechanical properties, rust resistance, moisture resistance, and fatigue properties of moving parts. In today's increasingly demanding personalization and integrity at home, home hardware must not only satisfy the above-mentioned functionality, but also have an eye-catching ornamentation and overall integrity with the overall home improvement style.

The market still needs to improve the sustained and stable development of China's economy. The capital construction has entered a booming period. The unprecedented expansion of domestic demand has also brought new opportunities for the furniture industry. At the same time, accession to the WTO will attract a large number of overseas capital inflows, bringing opportunities for joint ventures and cooperation to numerous small and medium-sized furniture companies, and relying on external forces to enhance the level of marketing planning, quality management, product packaging, and standardized production management of furniture companies. In addition, China's accession to the WTO with the treatment of developing countries will promote the development of the traditional textile and building materials industry, which will further reduce the cost of raw material purchases.

At present, China has become a world leader in furniture production, and it is also an important furniture consumer. With 1.3 billion people in China, a huge potential consumer market has attracted worldwide attention. At present, the level of furniture consumption per capita in China is still low. If it reaches the level of consumption in middle-developed countries such as Thailand and the Philippines, that is, at around US$20 per capita per year, its total consumption is also above 200 billion yuan. Therefore, it can be expected that there will be great potential for furniture production growth in the furniture industry.

Into the 21st century, the Chinese government proposed to accelerate the pace of urbanization and the construction of small towns. We will fully prosper the rural economy and accelerate the process of urbanization in order to further stimulate the consumer market and expand the consumption sector. This measure of the country will surely further promote the construction of housing in China, which will lead to the development of industries related to housing. The State Council has proposed the industrialization of housing in accordance with the needs of society and the needs of development. This move will lead to the standardization, serialization, and industrialization of tens of thousands of products that will be combined with residential facilities. Due to the development of residential industrialization, housing as a commodity enters the market, providing room for the development of various types of furniture and ancillary products.

Large-scale production has matured China's furniture hardware industry has used hand-made manufacturing to become large-scale production for more than 20 years. China has gradually become a big manufacturing and consumer country, and furniture hardware products are growing in the international market.

The hardware manufacturing industry must learn how to approach the end customers, how to provide them with products, and to ensure their own profit, which requires better marketing capabilities, better sales network, lean manufacturing and flexible manufacturing capabilities, and instant supply chain operations. New business models such as capacity, supply chain management, innovative thinking and leadership, and better education and training of employees.

From a manufacturing perspective, the factory must be as automated as possible to obtain maximum productivity and increase labor productivity. Intense market competition, serious homogeneity of products, high labor costs, and an increase in value-added products, from furniture manufacturing to high-end manufacturing, are the trend of the times. The furniture hardware products will also be upgraded in the direction of intelligence and humanity.

With the deepening of the process of industrial upgrading, it is believed that China's furniture hardware industry will certainly be able to move from traditional Chinese manufacturing to high-end manufacturing created in China.
