A few years ago, the overall grade of our country‘s hardware industry is not too high, there are many small and medium-sized enterprises, starting low, mostly small workshops; hardware processing has changed a lot in recent years, one is the improvement of personnel quality, such as the current Beijing will build the country‘s largest hardware market "China Hardware City" in charge, are doctors, postdoctoral personnel; the second is the improvement of technology and management level.

　　At present, the level of domestic production technology is uneven. Many foreign precision parts processing manufacturers use China as their product processing base, and many international companies have entered the mainland market one after another. China‘s hardware products are in the stage of upgrading, a period of transition from low-end to high-end products. This is very beneficial to the development of China‘s hardware industry. In the process of transferring the production of foreign products to China, it is inevitable that some foreign advanced production processes, including raw materials, and management models will be brought in together.

　 　From the perspective of traditional hardware, one is the development of tools, such as hand tools, hydraulic tools, and power tools. Second, in terms of construction hardware and decorative hardware, the replacement speed is relatively fast. The market demand for hardware parts is very large. Handan, Hebei, a small processing plant, has a very backward production process, and its sales force across the country has reached more than 100,000.

　 　After more than ten years of accumulation and steady improvement in our country‘s hardware industry, hardware precision parts processing is now the country with the largest output in the world, and exports are growing steadily every year. Among them, the largest export value is tool products, reaching 5.34 billion US dollars; followed by construction hardware, 4.34 billion US dollars. Faucet exports 2.23 billion US dollars, lock exports 680 million US dollars. The countries with the largest export value are the United States, Japan, Europe, and South Korea. Our country‘s hardware industry annual exports are growing at a rate of about 8%. Due to the improvement of China‘s hardware manufacturing level and the expansion of production capacity, it is expected that in the next five years, China‘s hardware precision parts processing products will still maintain a steady growth of more than 10% per year. The import and export volume of hardware and mechanical products in our country exceeded 500 billion US dollars in the first 10 months. The surplus further expanded, reaching 7.06 billion US dollars, accounting for 64% of the national trade surplus in the same period. Changes in the international hardware market provide good opportunities for the export of hardware products in our country. The production of hardware products in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong in Asia is second only to developed countries in the world.
