Hardware tool enterprises need to actively respond

Hardware tool enterprises need to actively compete in the fierce market

hardware tools include all kinds of manual, electric, pneumatic, cutting tools, steam protection tools, agricultural tools, lifting tools, measuring tools, tool machinery, cutting tools, jigs, cutters, molds, cutting tools, grinding wheels, drills, polishing machines, tool accessories, measuring tools, cutting tools, abrasive tools, etc. With the continuous application of modern scientific and technological achievements in the industry, the competition in the hardware industry is becoming increasingly fierce. No matter which field you want to gain a foothold in the hardware industry, you should fully understand the development trends of the market.

No matter which field you want to gain a foothold in the hardware industry, you should fully understand the development trends of the market

most domestic manual tool enterprises are mainly low-end products or OEM, and high-end products and brand products are still controlled by European and American countries. Also, because the profit space of hand tools is being compressed, and the space for price reduction is decreasing, enterprises are difficult to establish core competitiveness by price competition alone, so they should explore a new development path

the hardware industry is an important part of China's light industry. It is a sunrise industry that is fully competitive and closely related to people's lives. According to relevant data, more than 99% of the enterprises in the industry are private small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly distributed in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian, Shandong, Hebei and other provinces and cities

at present, the output of many hardware products in China ranks first in the world. In the highly competitive global market, lighters, zippers, thermos cups, wrenches, pliers, locks, knives and scissors all occupy a very large share in the global market. Then the sensors, linear guides (anti torsion), and racks that change the experimental machine are certain, and their impact on the world hardware industry is growing. At present, China's hardware products exist in more than 220 countries and regions around the world, and China's status as a major hardware manufacturer has been established. According to Luo Baihui's survey data, the total output value of the hardware industry has reached 800 billion yuan, and maintained a growth rate of more than 15% in 2005 and 2008. Among them, the export of the whole industry in 2008 reached 50.3 billion US dollars, accounting for about 40% - 50% of the total output value of the industry. In addition to the growth of 7% in 2007, it has previously maintained a high-speed growth of 20% - 30%

however, since the fourth quarter of 2008, the once-in-a-century global financial crisis has had a huge impact on export-oriented enterprises. Overnight, export orders disappeared, and some of the signed export contracts even paid a deposit and were returned under various excuses. Tool hardware, construction hardware, locks, knives and scissors, zippers and other industries are most affected by this crisis. Some people say that this is a battle without smoke of gunpowder. In this battle, there is no real enemy, and the real opponent is himself. Because many of our export enterprises are OEM based and do not have their own brands and sales channels, our weaknesses have been fully exposed in this financial crisis

2010 customs import and export statistics show that the total export volume of national hardware products in the first half of this year was 26.396 billion US dollars, an increase of 33.2% year-on-year, and the import was 7.984 billion US dollars, an increase of 25.1% year-on-year The output analysis of some hardware products provided by the National Bureau of statistics in the first half of this year shows that the output of locks is 850million, an increase of 17.5% year-on-year; The output of domestic gas stoves was 12.588 million units, an increase of 5.8% year-on-year; The output of domestic gas water heaters was 6.886 million units, an increase of 63.6% year-on-year The output of household range hoods was 8.305 million, with a year-on-year increase of 34.7%; The daily output of stainless steel products was 1.105 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 51.4%

among them, electric tools are the most widely used hardware tools in the whole society. With the progress of the times and society, the electric tool market has developed rapidly. At the same time, all kinds of electric tools have caused harm to consumers due to various quality problems from time to time. Therefore, countries around the world are increasingly demanding electric tools in their own markets. The European Union has formulated special standards for hardware electric tools. Its purpose is to establish specifications for hardware electric tools and technical specifications for electric tool products entering the European market, so as to reduce or avoid the harm caused to consumers by electric purchased equipment and instruments. Europe has also introduced an electrical certification act

all specifications and series of electric tool products exported by relevant enterprises to the EU must pass the certification of the EU electrical directive and be marked before export. Products that are about to expire should apply for certification in time. In addition, within the testing time of electric tools, enterprises need to make relevant preparations in advance. Enterprises need to accumulate coping experience, and the products involved will be adjusted accordingly according to EU regulations, otherwise they will be eliminated by the market

in the face of increasingly fierce market competition, if domestic enterprises do not pay attention to this, it will affect their long-term development. It is also the top priority to do a good job in selling and providing good services. Most of the electric tools sold by MDI are produced and exported from China, which has become the world's major supplier of electric tools. With the development of electric tool industry, some problems are also increasingly exposed

especially the slow progress in the reform of the scientific research and development system, the obvious gap with foreign countries, the low foreign exchange earning of export products, the low performance level, the low price, the small scale of enterprises, the low concentration, the rising price of raw materials and other factors have seriously restricted the further development and quality improvement of the industry. Electric tool enterprises must seize the new development situation, increase scientific and technological innovation, actively carry out product certification, speed up the technological transformation of enterprises, improve supporting measures, actively create conditions, absorb foreign capital, and promote the reorganization of enterprise assets. Only in this way can they remain invincible in the new situation
