In recent years, the problem of overcapacity in China's furniture hardware industry has become increasingly prominent.
In recent years, the problem of overcapacity in China's furniture hardware industry has become increasingly prominent. Due to the slowdown of the overall market economy, the furniture hardware market has shifted from a state of short supply to one of oversupply. At the same time, due to the environmental impact of high energy consumption and pollution, energy conservation and emission reduction have become a reality that enterprises must address, which will inevitably lead to a higher threshold for the furniture hardware industry. Industry insiders say that furniture hardware companies need to improve product quality and their own technological strength to break through the development bottleneck of the industry.
Recently, China's furniture hardware industry has gradually entered a bottleneck period, which is closely related to the rising prices of raw materials, logistics costs, and labor costs. From the perspective of the external environment, in recent years, developed countries in Europe and America, due to the rapid development of production technology and high domestic labor costs, have begun to transfer their low-end products to developing countries such as China, while only producing high-value-added products themselves. From an internal perspective, the furniture hardware industry in eastern China is gradually shifting from south to north and from east to west. For example, Sichuan Province, in terms of production scale and sales volume, has become a major producer of furniture hardware, and a large western production base has been formed in Sichuan. However, from an overall perspective, due to the slowdown of the overall market economy, weak domestic market demand, coupled with many domestic self-built markets and a wide distribution range, the furniture hardware market is currently in a state of oversupply, with many furniture products experiencing sluggish sales in the domestic market.
Some industry insiders have said that if China's furniture hardware industry wants to achieve breakthrough development, enterprises need to adapt to market conditions and not simply be satisfied with mass production of furniture products. Instead, they should develop customized services based on the individual needs of consumers, ensuring product quality and focusing on original design and unique craftsmanship. Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Mold and Hardware Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, said that if the Chinese furniture hardware market is to further grow and strengthen, transformation and upgrading are key. In the past two years, custom furniture has been on the rise, with personalization becoming a development trend.
In order to protect the world's environment, industries with high energy consumption and high pollution need to pay more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction. For the home furnishing market, energy conservation and emission reduction have become an important means for enterprises and businesses to compete, and this trend will also lead to a continuous increase in the production threshold of furniture hardware accessories.
Although China's hardware products have been developed for more than ten years, some enterprises have gradually formed a series of standardized and branded management. However, in the face of international standards, not all hardware enterprises can quickly break through. For example, in order to produce wardrobe hardware accessories that meet export specifications, the pressure of supporting production has increased significantly. The development of some domestic furniture hardware manufacturing enterprises is based on a resource-intensive economic model at the cost of resource waste, energy waste, and environmental pollution. The state's vigorous promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction policies means that manufacturing enterprises need to improve quality and strengthen technological innovation.
In addition, with the improvement of consumers' living standards, their demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products is also increasing. As a necessity of life, furniture hardware accessories will inevitably be continuously improved and upgraded with changes in consumer demand and market environment.
