According to recent data, China's hardware industry experienced significant growth last year, with a total import and export volume reaching $74.923 billion USD, marking a year-over-year increase of 30.1%. As people increasingly prioritize their living spaces, there’s a growing demand for comfort and convenience in home environments. The modern trend toward a more relaxed lifestyle is pushing the hardware sector to become more user-friendly and intelligent.
This shift is particularly noticeable in the cabinet industry, where hardware components account for up to 35% of overall usage. Innovations like the integration of electronic smart pumps in high-end foreign cabinets have led to sleek, handle-free designs. Meanwhile, advanced dampers and slide rails now support heavier loads without rebounding or leaking, all while extending the lifespan of these components.
In integrated bathroom designs, features such as automatic temperature adjustment for faucets, card-activated locks, sensor-operated doors, and touchless switches are gradually becoming part of everyday life. These advancements lay the groundwork for homes moving towards smarter, more connected living solutions.
Despite the critical role hardware plays in home design, the domestic premium home hardware market remains largely dominated by international brands. Companies like Blum and Hettich from Europe hold sway over major furniture and cabinet accessory markets, with "German or Italian-made hardware" often being touted as a top selling point.
As domestic industries like cabinetry and bathroom fixtures continue to expand, many firms are shifting focus toward tapping into the massive local consumer base. Transitioning from exports to targeting domestic sales has emerged as a key strategic priority for businesses.
Hardware manufacturers recognize the need for change. "Our aim is to fully penetrate the domestic premium market," said a veteran OEM producer who has been exporting products for years. "While we excel in product quality due to years of overseas production or joint ventures, our challenge lies in breaking away from outdated practices of minimal branding and enhancing our brand management skills and corporate identity strategies."
The future looks promising as these enterprises strive to carve out their rightful place within the competitive domestic market landscape.
