Current Market Situation: Sluggish Orders in July & August, Pressures on Domestic and Export Sales

Recently, Zhaoqing Ketu Hardware Co., Ltd. has fully completed the renovation of its brand-new product showroom and officially opened to all visitors. Meticulously planned and designed, this modern hardware showroom integrates product display, business negotiation and sample selection, welcoming purchasers and partners from all over the world to visit and inspect with a brand-new look.

Recently, JUNLIDA, a manufacturer specializing in the R&D and production of glass engineering hardware, has received positive market performance feedback. Orders for its new square U-shaped stainless steel door handles have surged continuously. Inquiries from domestic and overseas buyers engaged in home decoration, hotel bathroom projects and commercial renovation rose by 42% month-on-month, making this item a top-selling hardware export product at present.

Recently, extreme heat has swept across the region, sending temperatures soaring both outdoors and inside the workshop. Despite the sweltering conditions, all production staff remain dedicated to their posts and carry on manufacturing stainless steel door handles and handrails in an orderly manner.

As the world’s largest producer and exporter of hardware products, China’s hardware foreign trade industry has experienced rapid development for years and now entered an era of intense stock market competition. Plagued by overcapacity, serious product homogenization and escalating price wars, coupled with fluctuating raw material prices, international green trade barriers and cost competition from emerging economies, the traditional growth model of small profits but quick turnover is no longer sustainable. As the market shifts from incremental expansion to stock competition, hardware foreign trade enterprises must take the initiative to transform. Driven by product innovation, brand building, digital transformation and diversified market layout, enterprises can explore new opportunities amid fierce market competition.

Recently, the hardware handle market has witnessed significant fluctuations in prices and delivery lead times, becoming a key concern across the industry. From raw materials to end-to-end delivery, the entire supply chain has been impacted by a combination of factors, leaving manufacturers and distributors grappling with mounting cost and supply pressures.

Door handles are frequently-used but easily-overlooked hardware accessories. With an evolution history spanning thousands of years, they have now become daily necessities integrating practicality and aesthetic value.

  Rooted in Jinli Town, Gaoyao District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, a well-known "hometown of hardware", Junlida Hardware Factory has been deeply engaged in the door push-pull handle manufacturing industry for more than a decade with the inherited craftsmanship of a family-run business. It has always engraved "quality as the foundation and craftsmanship as the soul" into its corporate genes, creating high-quality door push-pull handle products that can stand the test of the market and time with the manufacturing persistence passed down from generation to generation.
