The most affected industry tools, hardware, architectural hardware, locks, knives, scissors, zippers. Some people say that this is a battle no smoke, no enemy in the battle, the real opponent is yourself. Because many of our export business is OEM-based, does not have its own brand and sales channels in the current financial crisis fully exposed the soft underbelly. 2009 is the development of the industry is more difficult and competitive market in external demand excessive competition. 2009 exports, compared with the same period last year decreased by 20.4%, and exports of the ten major categories of statistics are varying degrees of decline, this is history, there has never been the case. 2009 imports amounted to 13.817 billion U.S. dollars, a 7.5% decline, but which appears to growth: faucets, gardening industry, safes, lighters, cookware, kitchen equipment, fully explain the growth in demand of the domestic market for the products above .

The data show a resumption of growth once again that on the one hand foreign trade, the other hand, domestic sales are also showing a very active trend.

Housing Industrialization gave birth to the concept of home the whole kitchen and the formation of the emerging markets. Such hardware products mainly to the domestic national series of policy measures to stimulate economic development in promoting rigid market to further stimulate domestic demand to maintain steady growth. The overall domestic sales in 2009 to maintain growth, but growth also declined. Lock up 7.2%, 7.6% increase in gas water heater, range hood but lower than in 2008, an increase of 3.2% growth. Moreover, the gas stove a negative growth of 4.4%, flat stainless steel products for daily use. But for the industry leading backbone enterprises, but it is a rare opportunity for development, from surveys point of view, there are three significant growth, such as:

(1) to own brand exports and the growth of ownership of enterprise sales channels in more than 30%.

(2) to adjust the market structure in a timely manner, to the domestic enterprises, even though it has just begun, due to product quality and stability, the core technology, the growth rate in 2009 reached more than 30%.

A modern management system, modern plant, advanced technology and equipment and environmental facilities sound more and more hardware companies. The the backbone hardware companies to completely get rid of the eyes of the people in the past, "small, miscellaneous, dirty, chaotic," backward image. Both traditional and modern, both labor-intensive but also relative to the technical content of modern metal products manufacturing industry image has gradually established.
