In the past few years, the overall level of Chinese hardware industry is not too high. There are more small and medium-sized enterprises, lower starting point, and more small workshops; The first is the improvement of personnel quality. For example, the person in charge of "China Hardware City", the country's largest hardware market to be built in Beijing, are all doctors and post-doctors. Second, the improvement of technology and management level.
At present, the level of domestic production technology is uneven. Many large foreign manufacturers take China as their product processing base, and many international enterprises have entered the mainland market. Chinese hardware products are in the stage of upgrading, the transition period from low-end to high-end products. This is very beneficial to the development of China's hardware industry. In the process of transferring the production of foreign products to China, some advanced production techniques and management modes, including raw materials, will inevitably be brought in.
From the traditional hardware, the first is tools, such as hand tools, hydraulic tools, power tools, rapid development. Second, architectural hardware, decorative hardware, the replacement speed is relatively fast. The market for hardware parts is in great demand. Handan, HEBEI, A small PROCESSING plant WITH a very BACKWARD production process, HAS a sales force of more than 100,000 people ALL over THE country.
After more than ten years of accumulation and steady improvement, our hardware industry is now the world's largest output country, exports increase steadily every year. Among them, the largest amount of exports is tool products, amounting to 5.34 billion dollars; It was followed by building hardware at $4.34 billion. Faucet exports were $2.23 billion and locks $680 million. The largest exporters are the U.S., Japan, Europe and South Korea. China's hardware industry annual export is growing at the rate of about 8%. Due to the improvement of China's hardware manufacturing level and the expansion of production capacity, it is expected that in the next five years, China's hardware products will still maintain a steady growth of more than 10% per year. In the first 10 months, China's import and export of hardware and electromechanical products exceeded 500 billion US dollars. The surplus widened further, reaching US $7.06 billion, accounting for 64% of the national trade surplus in the same period. The CHANGE OF INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE MARKET provides good opportunities for export of Chinese hardware products. The production of hardware products in mainland China, Taiwan region and Hong Kong region in Asia is second only to developed countries in the world.
