The rapidly growing Chinese hardware industry has increasingly strengthened its position and influence in the international arena. China is leaping from a big hardware country to a hardware powerhouse with unlimited vitality and vitality. From “hardware” to “big industry”, China is becoming a global player. Hardware manufacturing center, hardware industry is a traditional and emerging and modern industry. Hardware is widely used. In the past, people called it hardware, such as nails, scissors, wrenches, and knives. These small hardware products have now developed into a large industry with world influence. According to
　　statistics, since the reform and opening up in China, especially in the past 10 years, the hardware industry and enterprises have been in scale, management, efficiency, product variety, and quality. In terms of grades, grades, production equipment, technical means, methods, etc., they have greatly shortened the distance with the world, and even surpassed the international level in some aspects. In 2005, the total import and export of Chinese hardware products reached US.597 billion, an increase of 23.63% year-on-year. Among them, the total value of exports was 30.512 billion US dollars, an increase of 26.44% over the same period of last year. China's hardware industry grows at an annual rate of 20%, and the total annual output value reaches 400 billion yuan, which is higher than that of the household appliance industry. China's total light industry exports account for about 25% of the country's total exports, and the hardware industry's exports ranked first in the light industry. China's hardware products are almost everywhere in the world, and China is becoming a veritable hardware industry power.
　　China's hardware products have surged to more than 10,000 varieties from 40 kinds of products and less than 500 varieties in the early 1980s; product categories have also increased from the traditional three-door categories of daily hardware, architectural hardware, and tool hardware. Including shower room, gas appliances, fumes, kitchen equipment, cooking appliances and other 10 categories of products.
　　In the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Shandong, many special economic and industrial bases have been formed. The hardware industry has become a pillar industry or a key development industry in the region, and it occupies an important position in the national hardware industry.
　　The advantages of economic facilities, industrial development maturity, and labor cost make China increasingly the center of global hardware manufacturing: the growth rate of the export of major hardware products is higher than the growth rate of output, higher than the growth rate of sales in the domestic market; The traditional export products such as tools, hand tools, and architectural hardware products have a very high growth rate. - Leading the industry, China's hardware industry from "Made in China" to "Created in China."
　　China's hardware industry has moved from "hardware" to modern hardware. It faces several intrinsic areas including tool hardware, architectural hardware, lock security, kitchen and toilet products, daily-use hardware, etc., and its annual trade volume amounts to US0 billion in international markets. . Since 1996, China has established 14 technical development centers, including zippers, electric shavers, stainless steel vessels, iron pans, blades, bicycle locks, and 16 product centers such as pressure cookers, electric shavers, and lighters. These centers have successively developed products such as biometric fingerprint locks, explosion-proof composite stainless steel kitchen knives, scissors, fireproof zippers, remote-controlled electric pressure cookers, etc. to fill gaps in the domestic market, greatly increasing the competitiveness of enterprises.
　　The number of independent intellectual property rights in the hardware industry has continued to expand, and technological innovation products have continued to increase. Only self-innovation products owned by large-scale enterprises each have at least several, and some even reach more than 10.
　　Gas water heaters, gas stoves, cooking appliances, faucets, range hoods, razors, and other industrial products have been listed in the "China Top Brand" evaluation list. The hardware industry has produced nearly 50 "Chinese famous brands". These Chinese brand-name companies and products have become a real “lead geese” in the hardware industry. China National Hardware Association closely cooperates with local governments and actively cultivates and builds industrial clusters with professional subdivision and a close industrial chain. It has cultivated 23 national hardware production and export bases nationwide. Professional subdivision and development of industrial clusters, a new feature of China's hardware industry, has produced an accumulation effect. - The outlook for the hardware industry is promising and the industrial structure still needs to be adjusted.
