Overview of the development of the hardware industry market and trends
Hand tools market: increasingly intelligent, humanized
The international hardware market, developed countries in Europe and the United States due to the rapid development of production technology and higher labor prices, the universal products to developing countries, only the production of high value-added products, and China has a strong market potential, so it is more favorable to Development of hardware processing and exporting countries.
China's hand tools market is mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shandong and Taiwan, among which Zhejiang and Guangdong are the most prominent. Yongkang, Zhejiang has always been known as the "hometown of hand tools", and the Zhejiang people's sense of market operation is quite strong, from the original hot pot products, stainless steel insulation cups to last year's popular scooters, bringing them a rolling source of wealth. Guangdong is also about to become the world's hardware tools mold center. At present, around Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta region gathered more than 6,000 mold enterprises, employing more than 200,000 people. Has been held in Shenzhen for five consecutive sessions of the South China International Mould Exhibition, attracted more than 1,000 enterprises from 25 countries and regions to participate, is now China's most specialized, international standard of the mold industry exhibition.
DIY products have become the new favorite of the hardware-related industry market. In recent years, in Europe and the United States, with the developed countries of the building hardware products designed to be easy to install and maintenance-oriented, self-assembly products and tools are very popular in the market. According to analysis, in the next two years, the domestic building hardware products will also move towards the development of intelligent, humanized road.
Taiwan hand tools industry to adjust the product structure. Taiwan hand tools industry with stable product quality, on-time delivery, product variety, can match customer demand, in the world has a certain advantage. And Taiwan hand tool sales to the island's off-island market, the current local manufacturers of about 5,000, mostly distributed in the central part of the island of Taiwan, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. According to the relevant survey information, to individual hand tool product categories, sockets for the bulk of exports, followed by a combination of hand tools, the third for gardening tools, wrenches class ranked fourth, pliers class ranked fifth.
Knife market: market competitiveness continues to improve
According to reports, the world's market demand for knives continues to grow. Among them, Europe, North America, stable growth, especially in Eastern European countries; the Asian market rebounded slightly, the market potential is very large, the Latin American countries market significant growth, especially in Mexico. At present, the world's cutting tool sales of more than $ 10 billion, industrially developed Europe, North America, Japan and Australia, the three major markets accounted for 75% ~ 80%.
In Asia, China is also an important market. According to forecasts, China's tool demand between 7 to 8 billion yuan, of which high-precision, high-efficiency, high-reliability modern tools, such as carbide and ceramics and other super-hard tooling materials indexable tool consumption of about 1.2 billion yuan, of which 80% to 85% dependent on imports, mold manufacturing using the tool imports accounted for more than 90%. In the past year, the tool market is the reason for the slow growth in demand, mainly because of the increase in tool life, and then the user for the entire manufacturing process requirements, replacing many of the machine tools and cutting tools. As well as multifunctional tools increased application, replacing many of the previous single-function simple tools. In the future, the user will be more emphasis on the production plant on the tool research and development, not only in the field of materials and surface coating technology, but also in the tool product and its production process focus on production practice, to help tool manufacturers to increase the competitiveness of the market in the field they are familiar with.
From the tool product technology, Japan's DIJET, BIG, OSG, Sumitomo Electric Japan, Hitachi tools newly developed high-speed high hardness tools can be processed to the hardness of HRC70, Toshiba Teclo's fist product TAC fast milling cutter series of tungsten carbide cutting tools are gradually replacing the high-speed steel cutting tools, especially round tools. U.S. Kennametal tool, Sweden SANDVIK, Seco tool SECO company, SPINNER company, such as the application of coated tools is becoming more and more common. China's well-known enterprises of cutting tools and gauges Zhuzhou Diamond Tools, Guilin Guanglu Digital Measurement and Control Joint Stock Company, etc. also provide newly developed products to participate in international competition. High-speed machining with a new type of tool market share is growing.
From the tool manufacturer cooperation approach, in the high-tech areas of the market will appear a lot of big companies strong combination.
Mold market development overview and trend outlook
In recent years, the industrial developed countries, the increase in labor costs, it is moving to developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia, and its domestic production of high, fine molds and molds, artificial labor input of a large number of molds rely on imports to solve the problem.
"Eleventh Five-Year" period, the overall trend of China's mold market steady upward. At present, the domestic market for medium and high-grade household appliances, automotive, plastic products mold demand is very large, but the requirements of domestic molds must be in the quality, delivery time to meet the needs of users. China's accession to the WTO, along with the integration of the world economy, the global manufacturing industry to accelerate the transfer of mainland China has been the general trend, China will gradually develop into a world-class manufacturing base. Low-grade mold international market potential is very huge, as long as the quality of domestic mold can be improved, delivery can be guaranteed, mold export prospects are very optimistic. Advantages of Guangdong, especially the Pearl River Delta region, will develop into a world mold production center within ten years. At the same time, because in recent years, China's annual imports of molds with nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars, including precision, large, complex, long-life molds account for the majority, so from the point of view of reducing imports of such high-grade molds in the market share of the proportion will gradually increase. Modern mold its high-tech, talent-intensive, high-tech background of process-intensive industrial characteristics, is in the new road to industrialization in front of the industry, mold as an important manufacturing equipment industry in all walks of life services at the same time, but also directly for the high-tech industry services, molds in the manufacturing industry product research and development, innovation and production has a unique and important position, so that the mold manufacturing capacity and level of the The level of mold manufacturing capacity and level has also become an important symbol of the country's innovation capacity.
In 2010, the economy gradually stabilized, mold as a manufacturing industry to change the mode of growth, industrial restructuring of the key support, undoubtedly has a pivotal position, communication between the upstream and downstream manufacturing industry, *** with the promotion of the mold manufacturing industry has become an important task of the Shenzhen Mould Technology Society.
