I. Overview and trends of the hardware industry market development
1. Hand tool market
1), international tool market dynamics
From the perspective of exporting countries, the United States ranks first, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan.

Demand for the US hand tool market has stabilized. At the same time that the size of new homes in the housing market in the United States increased at the end of last year, there were still a large number of existing homes uninhabited, which brought great opportunities for housing renovation. The average model and age of motor vehicles are getting bigger and bigger, which has promoted the sales of hand tools in the aftermarket. In addition, the demand for forging tools for electronic product distribution is strong, especially for adjustable wrenches.

Demand for German hand tools has increased. In Germany, the tools for comfort and effort are the most popular. The smooth handles and aesthetic appearance that help grip the tool are important factors that appeal to their purchase. In terms of the types of tools, power tools are now increasingly popular. In addition, rechargeable tools are becoming more popular. The new rechargeable tools available on the market now have multiple rechargeable battery jacks that can be used in a variety of environments.

In the international hardware market, developed countries in Europe and the United States, due to the rapid development of production technology and rising labor prices, have turned universal products into production in developing countries, producing only high value-added products, and China has strong market potential, so it is more advantageous. Developed into a major exporter of hardware processing.

2), China's tool market dynamics
China's tool market is mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shandong and Taiwan, with Zhejiang and Guangdong being the most prominent. Zhejiang Yongkang has always been called the “hometown”, and Zhejiang people have a strong sense of market operation. From the original hot pot products, stainless steel vacuum flasks to the scooter that last year, they brought a lot of money. Guangdong is about to become the center of the world. At present, more than 6,000 mold companies have gathered in Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta region, employing more than 200,000 people. It has held five consecutive South China International Mould Exhibitions in Shenzhen, attracting more than 1,000 companies from 25 countries and regions. It is the most professional and international mold industry exhibition in China today.

DIY products have become the new favorite of the hardware related industry market. In recent years, in Europe and the United States, with the construction of hardware products in developed countries, it is easy to install and maintain. The self-assembled (doityourself) products and tools are well received by the market. According to Luo Baihui's analysis, in the next two years, domestic construction hardware products will also move towards an intelligent and humanized development path.

China's daily hardware industry has entered the forefront of the world. China has established 14 technology development centers such as zippers, electric shavers, stainless steel utensils, iron pans, blades and bicycle locks, and 16 product centers such as pressure cookers, electric shavers and lighters. Most of these centers have now developed into industry leaders, and some have become world leaders and have achieved good economic returns. According to Luo Baihui, at least 70% of China's hardware industry is now a private enterprise, which is the main force in the development of China's hardware industry. China has gradually become a major hardware processing and exporting country in the world. China has become one of the world's largest hardware producers with a broad market and consumption potential.

Taiwan's hand tool industry adjusts product structure. With its stable product quality, on-time delivery and complete product range, Taiwan's hand tool industry has certain advantages in the world in line with customer needs. Moreover, the sales of hand tools in Taiwan are mainly based on the overseas market. At present, there are about 5,000 local manufacturers, mostly distributed in the central part of Taiwan Island, mainly to small and medium-sized enterprises. According to relevant survey data, in terms of individual hand tool product categories, the sleeve is a large export, followed by a hand tool combination, the third is a gardening tool, the wrench category is ranked fourth, and the clamp category is ranked fifth.

2, the tool market
According to reports, the demand for the tool market in the world is growing. Among them, Europe and North America have stable growth, especially in Eastern Europe. The Asian market has rebounded slightly, the market potential is very large, and the Latin American market has grown significantly, especially in Mexico. At present, the world's cutting tool sales exceed 10 billion US dollars, the industrially developed Europe, North America, Japan and Australia three markets account for 75% -80%. In Asia, China is also an important market. According to forecasts, China's tooling demand is between RMB 7 billion and RMB 8 billion. Among them, high-precision, high-efficiency and high-reliability modern tools, such as hard alloys and ceramics, can be used for indexing tools. 100 million yuan, of which 80%-85% depends on imports, and mold imports used in mold manufacturing account for more than 90%. Luo Baihui believes that in the past year, the demand growth of the tool market has been slow, mainly because of the increase in tool life, and then the user has requested the entire manufacturing process, replacing many machine tools and tools. As well as the increasing use of multi-tools, it has replaced many simple tools with previous single functions. In the future, users will pay more attention to the research and development of tools in the production plant, not only in the field of materials and surface coating technology, but also in the production of tool products and their production processes, helping tool manufacturers to increase their familiar areas. Market competitiveness.

Technical updates. According to the technology of tool products, Japan's DIJET, BIG, OSG, Sumitomo Electric, Hitachi Tools' new high-speed and high-hardness tool can be processed to the hardness of HRC70, and Toshiba Tailuo's fist product-TAC fast milling cutter series carbide tool Gradually replace high-speed steel tools, especially round tools. The application of coating tools such as Kennametal Tools, Sweden SANDVIK, Seco Tools SECO, and SPINNER is becoming more and more popular. Zhuzhou Diamond Tools, a well-known Chinese tool and measuring instrument, and Guilin Guanglu Digital Measurement and Control Co., Ltd. also provided newly developed products to participate in international competition. The market share of new tools for high-speed machining continues to grow.

The dynamics of the manufacturer. Judging from the cooperation mode of tool manufacturers, there will be many strong companies in the high-tech market.

Second, the mold market development overview and trend outlook
In recent years, the labor costs of industrialized countries have increased, and they are being transferred to developing countries, especially Southeast Asian countries. The domestic production of high-quality and precision molds, and the large amount of labor input is solved by imports.

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the overall trend of China's mold market was steady and upward. At present, the domestic market has a large demand for medium and high-end home appliances, automobiles, and plastic products, but domestic molds must meet the needs of users in terms of quality and delivery time. After China's accession to the WTO, along with the wave of integration of the world economy, the global manufacturing industry has accelerated its transfer to mainland China. It is a general trend, and China will gradually develop into a world-class manufacturing base. Luo Baihui believes that the international market potential of medium and low-grade molds is very huge. As long as the quality of domestic molds can be improved, the delivery time can be guaranteed, and the prospect of mold export is very optimistic. Luo Baihui pointed out that Guangdong, especially the Pearl River Delta region, with obvious advantages will develop into a world mold production center within ten years. At the same time, due to the fact that in recent years China imported nearly 1 billion US dollars of molds, among which precision, large, complex and long-life molds accounted for the majority, so from the perspective of reducing imports, the proportion of such high-end molds in the market will gradually increase. . As a modern mold, Shenzhen is characterized by high-tech, talent-intensive, high-tech-process-intensive industries. It is an industry that is ahead of the new industrialization road. As an important manufacturing equipment industry, molds serve all walks of life. At the same time, it also directly serves the high-tech industry. The unique and important position of the mold in the R&D, innovation and production of the manufacturing products makes the mold manufacturing capability and level become an important symbol of the national innovation capability.

In 2010, the economy gradually stabilized. As a key factor in the transformation of the manufacturing industry and the adjustment of industrial structure, molds have undoubtedly played a pivotal role in communicating the upstream and downstream industries of the manufacturing industry and jointly promoting the development of the mold manufacturing industry has become an important task of the Shenzhen Mould Technology Society.

Precision processing equipment provides equipment support for the mold industry
The mold is produced in a single piece, and has the dependence characteristics on specific users. The process characteristics are complex for each piece of mold, high unit price, product supply according to the order, innovation and modification according to user requirements, installation and commissioning to the user. . Modifications and adjustments throughout the process are more important at all times with timely monitoring. This requires mold processing equipment and measuring equipment to have special requirements. Luo Baihui said that the current development direction of mold processing is non-image production, single-piece high-precision parallel processing, and less humanized unmanned processing. It requires CNC machine tools to meet high speed, high dynamic precision, high rigidity, thermal stability and high reliability. Sex, network and its supporting control system, the integrity of various advanced software on the machine tool, and most importantly, the three-dimensional surface processing of the mold pays special attention to the dynamic performance of the machine tool.

In 2009, the world's total machine tool output dropped by 32%, China's machine tool output ranked first in the world, China's machine tool consumption reached 19.8 billion US dollars, more than one-third of the world's machine tool market share, accounting for 35.7% of the world's machine tool output, imported machine tools close to 60 100 million US dollars, down nearly 20%, still the top five in Germany, Japan, Italy, Taiwan, Switzerland, the equipment with high-speed, high-efficiency, precision, composite, flexible, green, full manufacturing measurement unit manufacturing is still China. The procurement direction of technology upgrade in the mold industry, the heavy-duty planting in the mold processing, the large program quantity, the structure design of the square table, the detection and control technology, the high programming resolution of the numerical control system, and the high-precision servo control software and hardware environment. The key to ensuring precision mold making. Ultra-precision mirror milling machines, nano-scale turning and milling centers, and ultra-precision CNC lathes have also been used in mold making. The tool market continued to be strong. The import value of cutting tools and tools increased by 4.59% in 2009. It is the only positive number in the machine tool industry. The high-precision cutting tools for five-face machining and complex motion still use overseas products as the mold industry. The main purchase object.

Japan, Europe and the United States machine tools in the high-end mold processing and manufacturing equipment, measuring equipment has a monopoly position, the reason is of course inseparable from the high quality of their products, but also related to their strategy for the Chinese mold market. Their demand for the mold market is an active service. They cooperate with mold users to develop mold-specific functions for machine tools and tailor-made functions.

The mold industry purchases foreign high-end machining centers, measuring equipment, precision electric processing equipment, and precision grinding machines, which account for a large proportion.
