The power shortage spreads the era of hardware profits

"Remember that one of my dealers in 2008, the store is about 100 square meters, specializing in hardware, others look small and business, but the profits are considerable. At the end of the year, my dealer bought a BMW 7 series. Today's market It is not always possible to buy a BMW 7 series for three years. Every industry has a climax, and maybe it is the hardware industry downturn."
The above is the content of a netizen posting on “Hansha International†in a hardware forum. The status quo of the low profit of the hardware industry has been widely recognized.
Indeed, as the market competition in the hardware industry is growing, the era of profit and violence in the hardware industry is gone forever.
Profit plummeted
Taking the hot topic of hardware, steel, as an example, steel prices rose by 100 yuan/ton in the day of March 17, 2011. In less than a month, all kinds of steel prices rose by 300 yuan per ton. Up to 500 yuan. The rise in steel prices has made the steel production industry, which had less original profits, unable to do anything. It generally reflects that profits can almost be zero, and the economic recovery is almost offset.
Taking bathroom hardware as an example, the biggest cost of producing a faucet product is the cost of raw materials. At present, the faucet products are mainly made of copper materials, and the price of copper is about 38,000 yuan/ton. According to industry insiders, raw materials The cost accounts for more than 70% of the total production cost. According to the domestic gross profit margin of 30%, the cost price of a faucet is about 200 yuan.
2011 is the implementation period of the “Twelfth Five-Year Planâ€. The mold industry ushered in the spring. The general experts are optimistic about the development space of the mold. It was predicted that during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period, the market share of China's mold industry will reach 120 billion yuan. But the reality is that because of the low level of contact in high-end industries and the threat from foreign-invested companies, their profit margins are also pitiful.
Internal and external troubles
At present, many hardware and electrical enterprises are inconsistent, and they face a low profit margin. Their comprehensive analysis is no exception to the following:
1. No professional market cultivation
The general consumer's purchase of hardware products is the principle of proximity. It is purchased in a random grocery store or a daily supermarket. This is closely related to the hardware industry not cultivating the professional market.
The traditional hardware product distribution center is a systematic marketing strategy, and the lack of relevant regional protection, the stable price system is even more difficult to talk about. Once the professional hardware market is formed, with the strong supervision of the market, it can guarantee that the hardware enterprises that are stationed in the house are worthy of the name, forming the consumer's purchase centripetal force, avoiding the phenomenon of peers coming in and blindly purchasing goods.
2, no comprehensive brand ability
The hardware products that are generally circulated in the market are simple in style, outdated, and have a rough workmanship, even without brand protection, so that consumers' trust cannot be obtained.
According to relevant market research, 45.3% of hardware consumers use the brand as the primary demand for purchasing products when purchasing hardware products, which implies that it is even more difficult for an unnamed brand to stand firm in the market. In this era of tedious information, the brand is obviously a target, which can focus on the people with fixed traits under their unified management, so as to help the promotion.
3. Foreign companies seize the market
A large number of hardware products in China are produced in small workshops, especially in the mold industry. Because of their lack of professionalism and exquisiteness, many foreign-funded enterprises have opportunities to take advantage of.
On the contrary, most of the foreign mold companies are “small and specializedâ€, “small and fineâ€; the mold self-production ratio is as high as 50% or more, and more than 70% of foreign products are commodity molds. The proportion of large, precise, complex and long-life molds in domestic molds is only about 30%. More than 50% abroad. The ratio of imports and exports was 4.1:1 in 2003; net imports after import and export were US$1.03 billion, the country with the largest net imports.
Take the automobile and high-speed rail industry as an example, and because there is no relevant high-end equipment output in China, the general mechanical engineering relies on the import of foreign equipment.
4, raw materials rose to the public
Since mid-December last year, international copper prices have repeatedly hit historical highs since breaking through $9,000/ton. Shanghai
Futures market data show that copper prices rose by 32% year-on-year in half a year, and the trend of steel prices rising for two consecutive months will continue into the first quarter of this year.
The mainstream brands of air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, range hoods, stoves, sanitary ware, disinfection cabinets, water heaters, etc., will continue to have a price increase of 5%-10%. "Compared with the end of last year, rising raw material costs have led to a 5% to 8% increase in production costs," said Zhou Xiaotian, president of Hisense Kelon.
The rise of raw materials in 2010 is the hot word of hardware development. In 2011, it still does not reduce its hot agenda. The rising of raw materials has also raised the price of general products. At the same time, the room for promotion of net profit can no longer be compared with the past.
In 2010, there were steel tycoons who fought in the entertainment industry, and there were hardware companies that developed investment business across the board. I don’t know how many rising hardware and raw materials will hit Liangshan in 2011.
