According to the latest figures provided by the customs, in 2009, the export value of domestic hardware products represented by tool hardware, construction hardware, locks, knives, scissors, and zippers decreased by 20.4% from the previous year.
It is reported that the total output value of China's hardware products industry has reached 800 billion yuan, exports reached 50.3 billion yuan, accounting for about 40% -50% of the total industrial output value. In recent years, the gross output value of domestic hardware products has maintained a growth rate of over 15%, and the export of products has also increased significantly. Especially in 2006, 2007 and the first half of 2008, the export of products has skyrocketed. This is mainly due to the Chinese hardware products. Rich variety, low prices. However, since the fourth quarter of 2008, the global financial crisis has caused a serious impact on the export-oriented companies in the hardware industry. People in the industry generally believe that the reasons for this situation are related to the global economic environment. On the other hand, the industry structure of the hardware industry in China is not always reasonable. High-end products rely on imports for a long time, and there is a serious excess of low-grade products. The core competitiveness is not strong.
To change this status quo and achieve industrial upgrading is the best policy. The hardware industry wants to take a good step in upgrading the industry, and improving product quality in enterprises and industries is the key.
