Decorative hardware continues to transform and improve competitiveness
In the past decade, Hardware City has evolved into a key sales hub for modern decoration and hardware solutions. Nearby cities such as Jinyun, Wuyi, Jinhua, and Chun’an, along with provinces like Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, and Jiangsu, have all turned to this market, bringing in fresh energy and new opportunities for decorative hardware sales.
In recent years, as market awareness has grown and business standards have improved, the structure of hardware and architectural decoration businesses has undergone significant transformation. This change is particularly evident in the expansion of business scale and the adoption of modern marketing strategies. From small, local shops in the early days, the industry has expanded to include multiple stores operating side by side—some even featuring over a dozen outlets. Brands like Jiuxiu, Bean Decoration, Gemstone Decoration, and New Nine Bell have built strong reputations in the market.
Well-known brands such as TOTO, Four-Dimensional Sanitary Ware, Asian Ceramics, Santa Fe Sliding Doors, Vero Eco Bricks, and Kelon Electrical Appliances have entered the market, while modern approaches like supermarket-style operations, chain distribution (e.g., Yongjiang Distribution Center), mall shopping experiences, and Jincheng kitchenware have also gained traction. Additionally, online trading and international trade have become essential tools in the industry’s growth.
The product structure has also seen major changes, with an increase in both the number of products and their quality. For example, in kitchen hardware, hot water supply systems have evolved from simple boiling devices to advanced options like gas, electric, solar, and electromagnetic water heaters, as well as electric kettles.
Lighting hardware has also been further segmented, including general home lighting, decorative lighting, street and garden lighting, entertainment lighting, and specialized lighting for hotels and other service industries. The variety is impressive and constantly evolving.
Dealers report that glass and metal decorative hardware have become increasingly popular. Products like coffee tables, beds, wardrobes, and dining tables are now must-haves for modern households. Meanwhile, the development of metal decorative hardware—such as copper and stainless steel products, as well as classic styles like wrought iron—has also seen rapid growth. The demand for full kitchen and bathroom hardware setups is rising steadily.
Innovation in smart decorative hardware, such as sensor faucets, automatic trash processors, fingerprint locks, and anti-slip flooring, has further elevated the overall quality and appeal of these products.
Moreover, the functionality of decorative hardware has expanded significantly. For instance, windows are no longer just for light but now offer energy efficiency and sound insulation. Plastic materials and Accessories are also being designed with fire-resistant properties. These advancements have made decorative hardware an essential component of modern construction, greatly enhancing its market competitiveness.
