China Science & Technology City achieved a turnover of 40.13 billion yuan in 2010, ranking first in the national hardware professional market for many years.

(II)Characteristics and advantages and disadvantages analysis 1. Industry scale During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period in the country, the hardware industry in the province has firmly grasped the favorable opportunities for the major adjustment and gradient transfer of the international hardware industry, and accumulated a total investment of 35 billion yuan in technical reforms. We have made remarkable achievements in industrial scale, process technology, equipment level, major economic indicators, and brand awareness. We are a leader in the country. In 2010, sales revenue reached 240 billion yuan, accounting for 30% of the national total. In 2010, the range of major products included in the statistics range was 45.16 million range hoods, cookers, range hoods, hand tools, hand-held power tools, locks, valves, zippers, stainless steel mugs (pots), anti-theft security doors, etc. The output of hardware products ranks first in the country. The output of electric razors and lighters accounted for more than 90% of the national total, and the production of anti-theft security doors and stainless steel insulation cups (pots) accounted for over 70% of the national total. There are 10 hardware and kitchen and bathroom companies with a sales volume of over 1 billion yuan, more than 500 million and over 150 enterprises, and more than 150 enterprises with over 100 million yuan in value. Five companies are listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

2. Significant features of industrial clusters As of the end of 2010, our province has obtained the titles of 20 “GuoZihao” hardware industrial bases (product capitals), ranking first in all provinces (cities). These bases are mainly distributed in the main hardware production areas of Wentai, Ningbo, and Jinhua in our province. Wentai District has “China Lock Capital (Wenzhou)”, “China Valve Capital (Yuhuan)”, “China Button Capital (Yongjia Bridge Head)”, “China (Wenzhou) Metal Case Lighter Production Base”, “China ( There are seven industrial bases in Wenzhou such as shaver production base, China Faucet Industry Base (Yuhuan), and China's zipper industry base (Yongjia Qiaotou), and it is the largest number of “National” hardware industrial bases in China. . In Ningbo, there are three industrial bases: China Lighter Capital (Ningbo), China Hardware Production Base (Yuyao), and China Kitchen and Bathroom Accessories Industry Base (Fenghua Jiangkou). In Jinhua, there are “Hometown of Chinese Hardware (Yongkang)”, “China Cup Capital (Yongkang)”, “China Mendo (Yongkang)”, “China Tool Industry Base (Jinhua)”, and “Chinese Zipper Industry Base (Yiwu)” Five industrial bases. The “Hometown of China Hardware (Yongkang)” is the largest hardware industry cluster in the county-level administrative region of China. The total output value of the hardware industry accounts for more than 90% of the county’s total industrial output value; “China Mendo (Yongkang)”, the production of safety gates accounts for the entire country. More than 70%; "China Cup (Yongkang)" stainless steel insulation cup accounts for more than 50% of the country's total, the total output of electric tools and exports accounted for 1/4 and 1/3 of the country respectively, Yongkang has become the national hardware industry manufacturing Center and sales center. “China Valve Capital and Faucet Industry Base (Yuhuan)” has continued to develop at high speed for many years. The total volume of plastic electronic lighters produced by China’s Capital of Lighters (Ningbo) has accounted for 50% of the world and 80% of that of China. “China Locks (Wenzhou) sales have exceeded 10 billion yuan. The formation of these industrial clusters has made tremendous contributions to the implementation of specialized division of labor, social collaboration, and reduction of production costs to form regional brands.

3. Significant brand building Since the 1997 “Zhang Xiaoquan” trademark was recognized by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce as the province’s first “well-known trademark”, according to incomplete statistics, by the end of 2010, the province’s hardware industry had “Yuli” and “ Supor, Aishida, Fang Tai, Zhang Xiaoquan, Boss, Superman, Great Wall, Shuaikang, Oulin, Bu Yang, Wang Li, and Tiger "Hals", "Shields", "Irons" and other 16 "famous trademarks" approved by the Administration for Industry and Commerce. In 2004, "Supor" brand pressure cookers, non-stick pans, "ASD" brand non-stick pans, "Shuaikang" brand domestic gas cookers, "Yongfa" brand safes and other five products were named "China Top Brand Products". At present, the province's hardware industry already has 24 "China Top Brand" products (67 in the same industry across the country). With "Southern Dragon" non-stick pan, "Germany and Italy", "Putian" range hoods, "TONYON", "neutral" locks and other 59 countries inspection-free products. The number of "China Famous Brands," "Famous Brands," and "National Inspection-free Products" ranks first in the country. 108 kinds of products have won the "Zhejiang Famous Brand", 173 trademarks have been identified as "Zhejiang Famous Brand", and 30 companies have become "Zhejiang Export Famous Brand" enterprises. Zhejiang Province Hardware Products Association also identified nearly one hundred "Zhejiang famous hardware products" in the hardware industry in the province.

4. The brand effect of the international market is not obvious. Although there are a large number of "Chinese Famous Brand" and "China Famous Brand" products in our province, these brand effects are basically limited to the domestic market and it is difficult to enter the international market, especially the developed countries. National market. For example, the “Supor” brand cookware of Zhejiang Supor Cookware Co., Ltd., which is the largest manufacturing enterprise in the hardware industry of our province, is both a “Chinese Well-known Trademark” and a “Chinese Famous Brand”. Its cooking utensils export situation is quite good, and it is well-known in the US supermarket market. The large share, the quality of which is basically the same as that of the United States and France, can only be attributed to OEM sales, and the price can not go up. The key is the lack of international brand awareness. The same is true of Ningbo Aishida Electric Co., Ltd., which ranks third in the province, and Ningbo Xinhai Electric Co., Ltd., which exports more than 90% of its products. Our province is a major exporter of hardware. Exports of tool hardware, construction hardware, locks, stainless steel insulation cups, knives, scissors and zippers are all ranked first in the country. Some product quality is close to that of developed countries, but only a few products Most of the self-owned brand exports can only be branded.

5, weak technical innovation has been the main type of imitation of the province's hardware industry is more than 99% of private enterprises, but also to SMEs, long-term emphasis on the market, light innovation; heavy investment in fixed assets, light scientific and technological investment; focus on profit Maximize and light the company's follow-up development strength. In 2010, more than 3,000 hardware manufacturing enterprises above designated size in our province invested only 0.67% of the total sales of science and technology, although it increased compared to 0.47% at the end of the “Tenth Five-Year Plan”, and 2% of scientific research funds in developed countries. In comparison, the gap is very different. Therefore, the independent development capability of the industry is very weak, and the gold content of product technology is generally low. The opening of the international market for hardware products in our province mainly depends on the advantages of low-price competition. With the substantial increase in the prices of resources and labor, the existing advantages have been eroded. From another point of view, the reason for restricting the price of hardware products, apart from brand factors, is that many key processes still do not have breakthroughs. For example, product design, forging process, product heat treatment technology, mold design and manufacturing, surface treatment and so on.

6. The irrational corporate structure The main products are low-end market Although the number of hardware products industry bases in our province ranks first in the country, it should be noted that the industrial clusters with blocky economic characteristics have the weaknesses of short-range imitation, similar technologies, Commodity homogeneity, market concentration, and easy to form vicious competition. Most of the hardware manufacturing enterprises in our province have small scale, poor production equipment, and lack of the ability to develop new products. The ability of enterprises to resist risks is relatively weak. This small, multi-firm, and weak corporate structure will inevitably lead to the situation of high energy consumption, high material consumption, low resource utilization, backward technology, low product added value, weak competitiveness, and poor economic efficiency.

Second, Zhejiang's hardware industry in the domestic and foreign industry in the industry's competitiveness level 1, the scale of the company domestic leading As of 2010, the province's hardware industry has five listed companies, namely: Zhejiang Supor Co., Ltd. (August 2004, Shenzhen Listed, the largest bedding manufacturer in China, with sales revenue of 5.622 billion in 2010, export of 1.842 billion, and profit of 524 million); Ningbo Xinhai Electric Co., Ltd. (listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in March 2007, the country's largest lighter manufacturer, 2010 Annual sales income of 842 million, exports of 765 million, and profits of 39 million); Zhejiang Aishida Electric Co., Ltd. (listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in May 2010, ranking second in the country's cookware manufacturers, 2010 sales of 2.05 billion, exports 10.84 Billion, achieving a profit of 75 billion yuan); Hangzhou Superstar Technology Co., Ltd. (listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in July 2010, domestic large-scale tool manufacturers and exporters, sales revenue of 1.882 billion in 2010, exports of 1.865 billion, profit of 362 million) Hangzhou Boss Electric Co., Ltd. (listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in November 2010, the country's largest range hood and gas cooker manufacturing One, in 2010 sales revenue of 1.232 billion, a profit of 156 million). The entire hardware industry has more than 10 companies with sales of more than 1 billion yuan, more than 500 million have more than 30 companies, and more than 150 companies have more than 100 million yuan. Among them, Supor, Aishida of the cookware industry, superstars of the tool industry, Great Wall, Landa, Yuanli of the architectural hardware industry, Emmeco, Fang Tai of the kitchenware industry, the boss, Shuaikang, Nanlong and Hals of the stainless steel insulation cup industry, The new lighters in the lighter industry, the Flying Branch and Superman in the razor industry, and the universal, neutral, and plum blossoms in the lock industry are leading companies in various industries. The scale of enterprises and the level of technological development are all ahead of other companies in the same industry. Its strong position cannot be shaken during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period.

2. The leading domestic technology level in the province's hardware industry is "Amico", "Supor", "Ashida", "Star Technology", "Shuaikang", "Fang Tai", "Boss", "New Sea", "Great Wall Seiko" , “Lanta”, “Superman”, “Flyco”, “Nanlong” and a large number of industry leaders, relying on large-scale technological transformation, introduction of domestic and foreign advanced technology, equipment and talents, overall level and technological innovation The capability has been fundamentally improved, especially the production technology and equipment of key enterprises have approached the international advanced level. Advanced technical equipment improves product quality and increases labor productivity. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, per capita output value rose from 269,900 yuan in 2005 to 49.10 million yuan in 2010, an increase of 81.92%. In 2008, the first national-level enterprise technology center in the domestic kitchen and electric industry settled in Ningbo Fangtai Kitchenware Co., Ltd. In 2010, Xinhai Electric Co., Ltd. also became the first “National Accredited Enterprise Technology Center” in the domestic daily hardware industry.

3, the domestic market leader in marketing network The province's hardware market started early, rapid development, large quantity, large scale, strong ability to expand outward. Strong market functions and a sound marketing network have facilitated the rapid development of the hardware industry. There are dozens of hardware professional markets in the province, and China’s largest hardware market—China Science and Technology Hardware City’s sales exceeded 40 billion yuan in 2010. The China Hardware Fair, which was successfully held for 15 consecutive years, has become the largest hardware professional in China. One of the exhibitions became an excellent platform for pushing Zhejiang Hardware to the whole country. The province's kitchenware and sanitary ware industry's chain monopoly, franchising, special market, online marketing and other forms of marketing network have developed rapidly at home and abroad. China's famous Yiwu Commodity City has become an important trading platform for Zhejiang hardware products to go to the country and to the world. Especially after Yiwu was approved as a pilot region for comprehensive international trade reform, it also added stamina to the sales of hardware products in Zhejiang.
