In recent years, the problem of overcapacity in China's furniture and hardware industry has become increasingly prominent. Due to the slowdown of the entire market economy, the furniture and hardware market has shifted from supply shortage to oversupply. At the same time, due to the environmental impact caused by high energy consumption and pollution, energy conservation and emission reduction have become a reality that enterprises must cope with, which inevitably leads to an increase in the threshold for the furniture and hardware industry. Industry insiders say that furniture and hardware companies need to improve product quality and their own technological strength to break through the development bottleneck of the industry.

Recently, China's furniture and hardware industry has gradually entered a bottleneck period of development, which is closely related to the constantly rising raw material prices, logistics costs, and labor costs. From the perspective of the external environment, in recent years, developed countries in Europe and America have started to transfer their low-end products to developing countries such as China due to the rapid development of production technology and high domestic labor costs, and only produce some high value-added products themselves. From an internal perspective, the furniture and hardware industry in the eastern region of China is gradually shifting from south to north and from east to west. In terms of product production scale and enterprise sales volume, Sichuan (real estate) province in China has become a major producer of furniture and hardware, and a large production base in the western region has been formed in Sichuan. However, overall, due to the slowdown of the market economy and weak demand in the domestic market, coupled with a large number of self built markets and a wide distribution range, the furniture and hardware market is currently in a situation of oversupply, and many furniture products are unsold in the domestic market.

The hardware industry needs to pay attention to "customization and environmental protection" in response to market demands

Industry insiders have stated that in order for China's furniture and hardware industry to seek breakthrough development, companies need to adapt to the market situation and not be satisfied with mass production of furniture products. Instead, they should develop customized businesses based on consumers' individual needs, pay attention to original product design and unique craftsmanship while ensuring product quality. According to Luo Baihui, Secretary General of the International Mold and Hardware Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, transformation and upgrading are key to further expanding and strengthening China's furniture hardware market. Customized furniture has been on the rise in recent years, and personalization has become a trend of development.

In order to protect the world environment, industries with high energy consumption and high pollution need to pay more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction. For the home furnishing market, energy conservation and emission reduction have become an important means for enterprises and businesses to compete, and this trend will also lead to a continuous increase in the production threshold of furniture hardware accessories.

Although Chinese hardware products have undergone more than a decade of development, some enterprises have gradually formed a series, standardization, and brand management. However, not all hardware enterprises can quickly break through in the face of international standards. For example, producing wardrobe hardware accessories that meet export specifications has increased the pressure on production support. The development of some domestic furniture and hardware production enterprises is carried out under an extensive economic model, at the cost of resource waste, energy waste, and environmental pollution. The vigorous implementation of energy-saving and emission reduction policies by the country means the improvement of quality and the strengthening of technological innovation for production enterprises.

In addition, with the improvement of consumers' living standards, their requirements for energy-saving and environmentally friendly products are also increasing. Furniture hardware accessories, as essential items in daily life, will inevitably be continuously improved and upgraded with the changing needs of consumers and market environment.
