China to improve the level of doors and windows hardware to help save energy

With the growing emphasis on green buildings and smart construction, people are increasingly demanding higher quality of life and more comfort brought by technological advancements. Doors and windows have evolved beyond their traditional functions, now carrying new meanings and expectations. The door and window hardware industry is being re-evaluated for its intelligence and human-centered design, which are becoming key factors in modern building solutions.

China's door and window hardware manufacturing sector initially took root in the southeastern coastal regions, particularly in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Shandong. Due to varying levels of economic development and climate conditions, there are significant differences in the demand for doors and windows across different regions. In less economically developed areas, the hardware used is often basic and low-cost, with a price of around 18 yuan per set. On the other hand, in high-end real estate projects in developed and northern regions, more advanced systems like the Inner Pingkai, hanging hardware, and internal hardware are commonly used. These systems are typically imported or from well-known domestic brands.

Given this diverse market landscape, domestic manufacturers must focus not only on building strong brand identities but also on mastering cutting-edge technology and staying attuned to consumer needs. Continuous innovation and improvement are essential. As critical components of doors and windows, the quality of hardware directly impacts the energy efficiency of the entire structure. High-quality hardware plays a vital role in achieving better insulation, reducing energy consumption, and improving overall performance.

According to the Prospect Industry Research Institute, the Chinese door and window hardware market showed promising growth between 2013 and 2017. By 2017, the market size was projected to reach approximately 45.755 billion yuan. With such positive prospects, the trend toward intelligent and high-performance hardware is becoming increasingly dominant. Manufacturers that adapt to this shift will be well-positioned to lead the future of the industry.
