According to the analysis, at present, the impact of the international financial crisis on the hardware industry is still in place, and the pattern of industrial division of labor has undergone major changes. China's hardware manufacturing industry, which focuses on OEM processing, will face new challenges. First, the industry’s traditional comparative advantages continue to weaken. The soft underbelly of no brand, no channels, and no end customers will become more prominent. Second, if the current production methods do not change, they will face more trade frictions and anti-dumping. Third, foreign countries from technical barriers, trade Barriers turn to brand barriers. Shi Lanlan said that at present, the current hardware industry is in the “three phases of superposition” phase, namely, the period of shift in growth speed, the period of structural adjustment and the stimulus period of policy stimulus in the early stage, especially the rising cost of raw materials and labor costs faced by the industry. Industry restructuring, transformation and upgrading, and brand building are still the most important issues in the near future.

It is reported that the eleven major categories of products in the hardware industry are designed to cover people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, and daily life. It also designs the production and construction of all walks of life. It is necessary to tap into the development potential of the industry. The problem of extensive development methods in the industry remains. Need to speed up the transformation, Shi Xiaolan said.

Fortunately, among the tens of thousands of hardware products companies in the country, many key enterprises have achieved a comprehensive upgrade in quality, equipment, technology, and research and development level, forming a backbone of the industry with brands, quality, and grades. The China National Hardware Association will further accelerate the pace of transforming traditional industries with high and new technology, especially intelligent technologies, and further promote the integration of informationization and industrialization “integration of industry and industry” and “integration of industry and service industry”. Continuously adjust industrial structure and speed up industrial upgrading. Continue to promote extensive-to-intensive, labor-intensive to technology-intensive, quantitative expansion to quality improvement, low cost to high added value, high profit margins, export to "OEM" OEM mainly to gradually improve the independent brand The "five transformations" of the proportion.
