The Development Status of Bathroom Hardware Accessories
（1） For a long time, relying on technological innovation to break through trade barriers, China's bathroom hardware products have been cheap and beautiful, deeply loved by foreign distributors and consumers, and the export volume has doubled. However, with the gradual increase in export volume and the deterioration of the international economic situation, more and more countries have begun to implement various almost stringent technical standards for manufacturing trade barriers, which has increased the difficulty for Chinese health enterprises to explore foreign lock markets. In the face of this trend and to solve trade protection, the first thing that Chinese health enterprises need to do is to rely on technological innovation to implement industrial standard upgrading. According to experts, breaking through technical trade barriers requires products to meet standard requirements. To ensure that products placed on the market meet the standards, manufacturers should establish a product control system. Bathroom products should not only comply with local technical standards, but also conform to the living habits and thinking styles of local residents. At present, with increasing export pressure, Chinese bathroom enterprises are increasingly paying attention to relevant international standards, greatly improving product quality, and striving to comply with relevant technical standards to avoid export disputes caused by standard barriers. With the gradual enhancement of the strength of China's health enterprises, more and more health enterprise product standards have reached or even exceeded the harsh foreign product standards. High standard products and reasonable prices will become key factors in breaking trade barriers, thereby winning larger overseas markets.
（2） Maintaining the expansion of emerging markets in Europe and America, but the economic downturn caused by the financial crisis in the United States, Japan, and Europe has greatly reduced demand. Orders from Europe, the United States, and Japan have all decreased to varying degrees, leading to a sharp decline in export orders for enterprises, putting many export-oriented enterprises under survival pressure. At present, in the face of current difficulties, on the one hand, we strive to maintain the major markets in Europe, the United States, and Japan, and actively invite new and old customers to purchase on site; On the other hand, we will focus on finding emerging markets and vigorously explore emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. For many domestic export enterprises, although the current economic situation is fraught with difficulties, it also contains many opportunities. The Chinese market is like a bright pearl in the eyes of the world, and strong domestic demand will be an important growth point for the future economy. Many companies that used to focus on exports have begun to re-examine their market strategies and this vast fertile land, formulating future development directions.
（3） To speed up the strategic marketing of overseas hardware brands, Chinese health enterprises should pay more attention to the construction and development of their own brands, develop Private label, and do a good job in brand publicity and planning. There are ten famous brands in China, such as Dylan and Fandio. According to the characteristics of foreign trade enterprises, enterprises should fully understand the market changes, properly grasp the scale of processing, combine OEM with the creation of Private label, reasonably determine the proportion of OEM and Private label, and learn the management and technology of world famous brands through OEM, And through the self owned hardware brand, it will gain popularity in the domestic and international markets, expand the market share of Private label, and improve the price competitiveness of enterprises. Before the outbreak of this crisis, several foreign trade enterprises in Chaozhou had already started independent brand marketing in the Southeast Asian market, opening specialty stores in the form of brand franchising. Therefore, during the economic crisis, enterprises were less affected. In short, as China's bathroom enterprises become increasingly competitive, the gap between them and advanced foreign bathroom enterprises in various aspects such as industry standards, product quality, and production technology is becoming smaller and smaller. With the intensification of international trade competition, the traditional low-cost processing and export route in the past must be appropriately adjusted in the new form. The formulation of relevant national policies in the future will also encourage innovation and brand strategy orientation, and the foreign trade development model relying on cheap labor and sacrificing non Renewable resource and the environment will be gradually restricted. China's health enterprises should use this crisis to accelerate enterprise adjustment, self-improvement, and develop feasible development strategies to expand the market.
Future development trends
For the future development of the bathroom hardware industry, entrepreneurs have coincidentally targeted three key keywords: optimism, e-commerce, and energy conservation and environmental protection.
1、 Optimism
With the advent of the global financial crisis, the Chinese bathroom industry is one of the industries that has felt the deepest impact. Due to the impact of real estate, sales in the bathroom hardware industry have been on a downward trend. However, with the improvement of the economic situation, the macroeconomic regulation of national policies, and the continuous rise and development of real estate, the overall market situation of the bathroom hardware industry is definitely starting to change with the market. Especially with the high demand for housing and decoration among the large population, this situation will continue in the future. Therefore, there is still great room for development in the bathroom hardware industry, and the market prospects are full of expectations.
2、 E-commerce
The emergence and development of e-commerce have had a profound impact on traditional economic and trade activities. It has not only added vitality to the global economy, but is also changing people's traditional ways of work and thinking.
Cost control is crucial for any bathroom hardware company or enterprise to achieve maximum profit. According to Forbes, e-commerce can save businesses 5% -10% of transaction costs. At the same time, in the e-commerce environment, sanitary hardware importers and sanitary hardware consumers in a country can not only search for the lowest price sanitary hardware products in the world by providing a website for price comparison of sanitary hardware products, but also can use Online auction bidding and collective bargaining to purchase products with lower prices. To a certain extent, this is equivalent to reducing the price of imported sanitary hardware, which is conducive to the development and growth of Import of sanitary hardware in this country, and forms the trade expansion effect. Furthermore, e-commerce enables real-time transmission and exchange of standard format documents (such as contracts, bills of lading, invoices, etc.) between commercial users. Both buyers and sellers can directly handle various foreign trade business procedures online, such as ordering, negotiating, signing contracts, customs declaration, inspection, chartering and booking, tax payment, payment and settlement, without leaving their homes. This greatly shortens transaction time and makes the entire transaction very fast and convenient, thereby driving finance, customs, transportation The improvement of work efficiency in insurance and other related departments.
In today's world where global economic integration is further strengthened and market competition is becoming more intense, e-commerce, which integrates computer technology, network technology, and information technology, will become the main mode of international trade and the engine of economic growth in the world today.
3、 Energy conservation and environmental protection
Health and water conservation have remained a theme in the bathroom hardware industry for many years. The deterioration of the environment has aroused people's attention to the fate of the Earth, and energy conservation and emission reduction have become a major issue before the world's people.
For consumers of bathroom hardware, many people are starting to focus on price, such as whether this product is suitable for your home's style, quality, and even brand, product design, high cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness, all of which have become the focus of consumer reference and purchase. Especially with the improvement of economic life, more and more people are paying more attention to health, and environmental protection naturally becomes the key
