China's high-end hardware locks increase

In recent years, with the booming development of China's hardware market, the lock market has taken a turn for the better. The total capacity of the lock market has now reached 70 billion, while Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Shandong are the main focus of lock manufacturers. The lock market has become more and more characteristic. The characteristics referred to here are the development model of industrial clusters. The number of lock-making enterprises in the cluster is large and the comprehensive output of enterprises is large. The cluster lock market has a strong growth momentum, high sales, a high proportion of export growth, and imports. The speed is also increasing, and the international market share of high-end locks industry is also increasing.

  The development of hardware locks needs to improve product quality and market orientation. After decades of reform and opening up, China's lock industry, which is both traditional and emerging, has accelerated its evolution to modern manufacturing. According to incomplete statistics, by the end of 2012, China's lock industry has already achieved an annual production value of 60 billion yuan. China is already the world's largest lock-making country.

Judging from the development quality, there are still significant gaps in the hardware industry including the product quality level, R&D and design capabilities, independent brand and marketing channel construction, total factor productivity, and international competitiveness. China's lock enterprises should continue to enhance their independent innovation capabilities, high-end manufacturing capabilities, marketing capabilities and brand influence, and promote China's transformation from a lock manufacturing giant to a manufacturing powerhouse.

At present, the annual sales of locks in the country can reach as many as 2.2 billion, and the market demand for fingerprint locks can reach 5 million per year, for example, for corporate finance, military police stations, and office life. At the same time, the demand in the civilian market is also growing. Whether it is traditional mechanical locks, or modern electronic locks, and even the current access locks in high-rise buildings, China's lock industry as a whole is developing irresistibly.

According to relevant department statistics, in 2012, China's lock products were exported to 208 countries and regions, and the cumulative export value reached 5.229 billion US dollars. The small locks can generate 60 billion yuan, which benefits from industrial transformation and upgrading, modern high-tech applications, corporate brand management and market demand growth, high-tech transformation of traditional industries in the lock industry has achieved remarkable results, China's lock industry has formed a cover It is a combination of machinery, electronics, and biotechnology. It has thousands of color varieties and spans a multidisciplinary and multi-industry integrated industrial system. According to customs statistics, the average annual export growth rate of the lock industry during the 11th Five-Year Plan period reached 31%, which is twice the average growth rate of the hardware industry.

With this strong trend continuing, the future of the lock market is inconceivable. The variety of locks and the richness of the market highlight the necessity of the development of the lock market. Creating labor-intensive and characteristic industries with high threshold, high specialization, and high-end locks is the only way for China's lock industry in the future.

As long as we improve product quality standards, market-oriented, increase the adjustment of product structure, innovate science and technology, increase the research and development of new materials, new processes, and establish a brand with a strong influence on the lock brand. The future market for locks still has the potential for permanent growth.
