China is gradually becoming an international hardware processing exporter with huge market and consumption potential. China's independent research and development of various types of domestic hardware products in the forefront of the world, and achieved good economic benefits and reputation. Today, if hardware companies want to develop and seize opportunities, they must understand industry trends and make corresponding upgrades and changes. The following is a summary of the five major trends in the hardware industry in 2017.

Trend 1: Pay attention to environmental protection and energy saving, develop green technology

Now, low carbon environmental protection has become the current trend. As early as March 2016 at the China International Hardware Expo, a group of far-sighted companies launched a series of environmentally friendly and energy-saving products, such as Yingzhiyin's outdoor tools. With the awareness of environmental protection and energy saving, Yingzhiyin vigorously develops green technology, and the new hardware products developed are widely welcomed by customers. It is understood that Yingzhiyin has reached a cooperation with South China City Network and will soon enter the South China City Network Hardware Electromechanical Mall to serve more hardware buyers. In the future, the development trend of environmental protection and energy saving will be more significant, and new technologies will continue to appear, more green and profitable, which has been tacit understanding in the hardware industry.

Trend 2: Strengthen brand awareness and carry out brand promotion

Brand promotion is a powerful tool for company development. Strong brands with high brand awareness, high premium capabilities, high brand loyalty, and high sense of value are the hidden value and core competitiveness of hardware companies. Now, the concept of consumers began to change, brand awareness gradually strengthened, in the purchase of hardware products, the brand has become the first element of its decision to buy. From the hot sales of Jie Jie tools, Stanley and other brands, it can be seen that the future market competition will become brand competition.

Trend three: the change of consumption concept, the change of perceptual to rational

With the progress of people's living standards, the brand of hardware products has been popularized, and consumers' understanding of the hardware industry has also changed. In the past, fuzzy consumption began to become clear. Traditional perceptual consumption no longer only focuses on appearance and style, but focuses on quality and grade of rational consumption. Consumers are increasingly aware of and aware of the hardware industry.

Trend four: focus on network implementation, open up market channels

With the rapid development of e-commerce, the advantages of the Internet are obvious. Through the implementation of keyword optimization, independent station construction, participation in industry channels and other forms, good results have been achieved and have been widely valued by hardware companies. Today, hardware companies are actively pursuing network implementations or combining network implementations with traditional implementations. In the future, network implementation may become the leading force for hardware companies to explore the market.

Trend five: products to intelligent, to meet the needs of human nature

The editor of South China City Network learned that in the next few years, domestic hardware products will also move towards an intelligent and humanized development path. People are more and more aware of hardware products. The hot pot products produced earlier, stainless steel thermos cups and popular scooters all meet the needs of humanization and obtain unlimited profits. In the future, some hardware products, such as construction products, will be greatly expected by the market if they are mainly designed for simple installation and maintenance, and can install products and tools by themselves.
