After more than 30 years of development, China's hardware industry has become more mature and occupies an important position in the world market. At present, the output of many hardware products in China ranks first in the world, such as lighters, zippers, spanners, pliers, etc., which have good sales records abroad. At the same time, after years of development, the characteristics of the development of China's hardware industry cluster gradually highlighted.
China is one of the largest hardware producing countries in the world, and has become a big hardware processing and export country in the world, with broad market and consumption potential. With the development of social economy, hardware industry in the new situation, cluster development also has obvious characteristics.
China's hardware industry cluster development can be divided into three types. First, Daxin Town, Zhangjiagang City, has a long history and a typical representative. It is an industrial satellite town in southern Jiangsu Province where township enterprises started earlier. The second is the industrial agglomeration type. The typical representative is Yongkang City in Zhejiang Province, which has an annual sales revenue of more than 100 billion yuan, which has become the pillar industry of the local area. The third is the market development type. The typical representative is Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. After years of development, it has formed an industrial group with locks and gas appliances as the leader and complete upstream and downstream products and various accessories. These three types of industrial clusters have their own advantages and characteristics. They not only make great contributions to the local government, but also play an important role in supporting the development of China's hardware industry and going abroad.
The advantage of industrial cluster is very obvious, it can effectively solve the problem of high management cost and agency cost, and avoid the problem of transaction cost and logistics cost caused by long-distance exchange. Industrial cluster is conducive to the deep division of labor among enterprises, which is beneficial to specialization and refinement, to the improvement of efficiency and to technological innovation. At the same time, it is conducive to attracting investment, saving transaction cost and stimulating competition consciousness.
