The 2024 China International Hardware Show (CIHS) will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from October 21st to 23rd, 2024. Facing the upcoming 2024 China International Hardware Exhibition, we will continue to adhere to the market-oriented and technology-oriented exhibition positioning, adhere to the exhibition orientation of taking into account both internal and external markets, walking on two legs, stabilize the scale, improve quality, strengthen services, and strive to serve as exhibitors Create greater value for merchants and buyers.
In recent years, CIHS has maintained a stable exhibition scale of more than 100,000 square meters (excluding China International Kitchen and Bathroom Expo). It is recognized by the industry as the second largest professional hardware exhibition in the world and the largest in Asia-Pacific. CIHS2024 maintains a steady development momentum. Two major thematic exhibitions, the 2024 China International Construction Hardware and Fasteners Exhibition and the 2024 China International Lock and Security Door Industry Products Exhibition, will be held at the same time.
High-quality merchants are coming soon
Based on the analysis and judgment of market demand, the 2024 exhibition will make great efforts to invite international and domestic buyers and professional visitors, and regard this as a key task of the exhibition. We have successively dispatched professional teams to communicate with embassies and commercial offices in key countries and regions, as well as with large domestic and foreign retail groups and e-commerce platforms to attract high-quality merchants to the exhibition. So far, many professional buyers at home and abroad have initially determined their purchasing intentions. According to the changes in the epidemic situation at home and abroad, they will go to the exhibition in person or arrange domestic offices or agents to purchase. During the exhibition, relevant procurement docking activities, information exchange activities, etc. will also be set up to help exhibitors and buyers establish communication and cooperation and achieve one-on-one communication and negotiation.
At the same time, this year we have given full play to the advantages of industry associations to build a "cloud symbiosis" comprehensive service platform for the hardware, kitchen and bathroom industry. The platform will provide services for industry companies in accordance with the association-led, enterprise-oriented and market-oriented operation model, and help hardware, kitchen and bathroom companies to move forward. The market, users and consumers focus on displaying high-quality hardware products, innovative products and innovative technologies, and connecting the supply and demand sides, especially the diversified layout of channels, to create channel increments and value.
Wonderful activities continue to appear
Organizing rich and practical industry activities is an important tradition of CIHS as the core professional exhibition in the industry, including commending and thanking the organizers, exhibitors, purchasers and visitors who have participated in the exhibition for many years; it also plans to Establish special areas that reflect the historical heritage of the industry and exhibitions, as well as areas that reflect the innovation of exhibitions and exhibits.
After more than 20 years of cultivation, CIHS exhibition activities have become more mature and rich. In addition to relevant special activities, the China Hardware Products Association group standards are released, the "Golden Hook Award" industrial design competition review jointly organized by the China Hardware Products Association and the China Industrial Design Association, as well as supply and demand exchange meetings in various categories, trade matching meetings, and procurement negotiations Traditional activities such as meetings are being prepared. Related forums on design, production, technology, circulation, marketing and other aspects will also be reinstalled and upgraded and will appear again. Corporate exchanges, releases and other activities will also be implemented successively as the exhibition progresses. I believe that with the efforts of the organizers, it will continue to be an industry event that promotes supply and demand transactions, information transmission, and peer exchanges in the hardware industry.
At the beginning of the exhibition, the export volume of China's hardware products industry was approximately US$3.8 billion. Currently, the industry's export volume has stabilized at around US$100 billion, an increase of approximately 34 times in 20 years. This is not only the result of the international development of hardware companies after China's accession to the WTO, but also the positive contribution made by China International Hardware Exhibition. CIHS, which has been successfully held for 20 times, has continued to grow with the development of China's hardware products industry, and is known as the "wind vane" and "barometer" for the development of China's hardware industry.
Under the new international and domestic economic situation, the hardware market will undergo important changes. Facing "big changes unseen in a century", the hardware industry is facing both severe challenges and rare opportunities. How to seize opportunities and achieve new development requires industry enterprises to further improve their internal skills and effectively utilize development platforms, and the China International Hardware Exhibition is undoubtedly the most important one.
We are very honored to participate in this exhibition and hope that our friends can come and visit our booth
