As a supporting industry, the hardware industry, although not very eye-catching, is a fundamental industry and an important component of the manufacturing industry. According to Dai Xiuhua, Secretary General of the Shenzhen Hardware Industry Association, after more than 30 years of development, the hardware industry in Shenzhen has taken a leading position in the national industry in terms of industry scale, industry influence, and product technology content. At present, the hardware industry in our city has evolved from the initial stage of special zone construction, mainly focusing on daily hardware, construction hardware, and hardware processing accessories, to a multi category and multi variety industrial pattern of mechanical hardware, tool hardware, precision molds, precision hardware, and electronic tools. Production and operation have also shifted from low value-added methods of incoming material processing and single trade to high value-added production and operation models such as independent research and development and independent brands. At present, there are about 16200 manufacturing enterprises in the hardware industry in the city, mainly distributed in Bao'an and Longgang districts. Last year, the total industrial output value of the hardware industry in the city was about 150 billion yuan.
In order to stand invincible in the fierce market competition, more and more hardware customization processing enterprises are strengthening technological innovation and research and development. Some enterprises have started to cooperate with universities, research institutions, and other organizations to jointly develop new technologies and products, and improve their core competitiveness.
With the continuous expansion of the market and changes in consumer demand, hardware customization and processing enterprises have also begun to expand the market and strengthen brand building. Some companies have started to establish sales networks and brand image in domestic and international markets, to enhance their visibility and influence.
