Hardware angle code market demand shows new trends
10 Jan,2024
Furniture hardware accessories refer to the hardware components required for furniture production and use.
There is currently no standardized industry classification for furniture hardware accessories in China. It belongs to the hardware industry, the hardware and tool branch, and also belongs to the furniture industry, the furniture raw materials branch. Therefore, there is no clear consensus on the concept of furniture hardware accessories in China.
development:
Traditional Chinese furniture originally did not require furniture hardware accessories. All functions were based on wooden structures, and metal was only used as a decoration in furniture in ancient times. It was not until the Qingming period that metal was able to achieve simple functions in furniture (mainly wooden boxes, cabinet locks, edging, hinges, etc.). In the 1980s, panel furniture was introduced to China from the West, and furniture hardware accessories began to be widely used in furniture. After nearly 30 years of development, the role of furniture hardware accessories in furniture has become increasingly important, and people's attention to furniture quality has gradually shifted from panels and environmental protection to hardware accessories. With the development of modernization and personalization of furniture in recent years, people's demand for furniture has gradually shifted from the most primitive storage function to the experience of exquisite living, and these experiences are directly felt from furniture hardware accessories. Therefore, in the future, furniture hardware accessories will become the most critical factor in the overall quality of furniture.
With the changes in consumer demands and the development of the furniture industry, new trends have emerged in the market demand for furniture hardware corner brackets.
In the current consumption environment that emphasizes environmental protection and personalization, the market demand for furniture hardware corner brackets is undergoing significant changes. First of all, the demand for environmentally friendly corner brackets is increasing day by day. When consumers purchase furniture, they pay more and more attention to the environmental performance of furniture, which makes corner brackets made of environmentally friendly materials favored. For example, corner brackets made of biodegradable plastics or recycled metals are gradually expanding their market share due to their environmentally friendly characteristics.
Secondly, the demand for personalized customized corner brackets is also on the rise. With the booming development of the customized furniture market, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the personalization of furniture details. As a key accessory for connecting furniture parts, corner brackets also need to have personalized designs. Some corner brackets with special shapes, sizes, or surface treatment effects can meet the needs of different furniture design styles and are becoming a new growth point in the market.
Furthermore, the demand for multi-functional corner brackets is gradually emerging. In addition to the basic connection function, some corner brackets with additional functions such as height and angle adjustment or hidden installation have begun to attract the attention of furniture manufacturers and consumers. These multi-functional corner brackets can bring more practicality and convenience to furniture and enhance the use experience of furniture.
Facing these new market demand trends, furniture hardware corner bracket production enterprises need to continuously adjust their product strategies and increase their investment in the research and development of environmentally friendly materials, personalized designs, and functional innovations to better adapt to market changes and meet consumer demands.
