As an indispensable part of furniture manufacturing industry, the importance of furniture hardware is self-evident. These hardware components not only provide the basic functions and structural stability of furniture, but also improve the beauty and practicality of furniture through design innovation. Faced with the development trend of the global furniture market towards high-end and intelligent, exquisite craft hardware accessories are needed to support the realization of the functionality of intelligent furniture.

 

The future development trend of the furniture hardware accessories industry must develop in these aspects, namely, digitalization of production process, intelligentization of hardware products, and brand power.

 

 

1. Digitalization of production process

There are many categories of furniture hardware products, and the production has the characteristics of many steps, many batches, and large quantities. Therefore, stable and efficient automated production is a necessary way to improve production efficiency, obtain scale advantages, and enhance corporate competitiveness.

 

In this context, furniture hardware manufacturers continue to improve the automation level of the production process, replace part of the manual labor with automated equipment, and automate the production process. By building a digital platform, a more intelligent factory is built to increase production efficiency and gain.

 

In the future, the manufacturing technology of furniture hardware will continue to integrate with high-end technologies such as the new generation of information technology, and a complete digital system will be established in the research and development, design, and production of furniture hardware products, thereby improving the operating efficiency of mechanical equipment, and the industry will continue to move towards "digitalization" and "intelligence".

 

 

2. Intelligent hardware products

With the advancement of industrial level and technology, consumers' requirements for furniture products have gradually transitioned from traditional solidity and durability to meeting the above needs while also meeting their pursuit of comfort, convenient loading and unloading, and intelligent control. This is also the main reason why furniture manufacturers have vigorously launched smart furniture. In the past, they have made innovations in the single sofa material and launched smart furniture to meet market demand.

 

In addition to meeting the traditional mechanical properties, rust resistance, moisture resistance, and fatigue resistance of moving parts of hardware, the downstream hardware industry also needs to assist furniture products to achieve consumers' demand for intelligent, comfortable, and convenient furniture space.

 

At present, the furniture hardware industry has gradually added elements such as controllers and sensors to products to realize the intelligence of products. With the further popularization of emerging concepts such as smart furniture, the promotion and application of smart furniture will become one of the main driving forces for the growth of the furniture hardware market in the future.

 

3. Furniture hardware manufacturers build brand power

There are many furniture hardware manufacturers in the world, and the competition is fierce. European furniture hardware companies such as Hettich and Blum have formed brand advantages due to their long-term experience and early branding path, and therefore enjoy extremely high brand premiums.

 

In this regard, other furniture hardware companies have gradually realized the importance of branding. Furniture hardware brand companies have different development directions, some facing the low-quality market, some facing the mid-to-high-end market, and some specializing in smart furniture services.

 

Zhuokai can meet all kinds of needs. In the past, Zhuokai has been producing mid-to-high-end furniture legs as the core, maintaining product quality while also gradually accumulating brand influence in the furniture hardware accessories industry. Starting from 2024, Zhuokai will join other mid-to-high-end quality brands in other industries to empower the furniture industry market.
