1. Industry structure. According to the local classification of Yongkang, after 30 years of development, Yongwujin Hardware Industry has formed eight pillar industries, namely: automobiles and motorcycles and accessories, leisure sports vehicles, metal safety doors, power tools, metal smelting and rolling, stainless steel products, Small household appliances, weighing instruments, etc. Among them, the output of power tools, thermos cups, anti-theft doors, leisure sports vehicles, and electronic scales accounts for about 70% of the country's output, and the output of non-stick pans, copper bars, and aluminum wheels accounts for about 30% of the country's output. From the perspective of industry structure, the structure of hardware products in Wuyi County is similar to that of Yongkang, which is mainly the result of the relocation of Yongkang hardware companies; while the development of the hardware industry in Jinyun County, in addition to undertaking the transfer of Yongkang hardware companies, has local companies in the specialty equipment manufacturing and The field of new metal materials has formed its own characteristics and has certain comparative advantages.
2. Industrial scale. Today, Yongwujin Hardware Machinery Industry is a cross-regional specialized industrial zone with an output value of over 100 billion yuan. It is huge and eye-catching. In 2008, the total industrial output value of enterprises above designated size in Yongkang was 55.928 billion yuan, of which the output value of the hardware industry accounted for more than 90% of the city's industry, accounting for about 60% of GDP, about 80% of fiscal revenue, and employees accounted for about 50% of the total labor force. ; The total industrial output value of Wuyi and Jinyun reached 21.659 billion yuan and 20.332 billion yuan respectively, and the hardware industry accounted for more than 90% and 60% of the local industrial output value respectively, both of which are the most important local pillar industries.
3. Enterprise size structure. In 2008, there were more than 15,000 enterprises in the Yongwujin hardware machinery industry, including about 13,000 in Yongkang, about 1,200 in Wuyi, and about 1,100 in Jinyun; there were 1,747 enterprises above designated size, including 830 in Yongkang, 546 in Wuyi, and 303 in Jinyun. There are 197 enterprises with an industrial output value exceeding 100 million yuan, including 99 in Yongkang, 53 in Wuyi, and 45 in Jinyun. There are 11 enterprises with an industrial output value exceeding 1 billion yuan, including 9 in Yongkang and 2 in Jinyun [1].
4. Technical level. Yongkang hardware machinery companies generally rely on imitation to start their business. By 2008, Yongkang City had 1,497 authorized patents from 424 companies (individuals) including Superman Group, Xingyue Group and Hangyu Industrial Co., Ltd., including 83 invention patents, 623 utility model patents, and 789 appearance patents. 2 items and 2 foreign patents. But overall, hardware machinery companies still focus on imitation and innovation, lacking core technologies and independent research and development capabilities; production equipment is relatively old and backward, and is mainly mechanized and semi-mechanized production, with some production processes using automated and information-based equipment; Only a few enterprises (such as Wangli Lock Industry) have reached the leading domestic level in technology; there is an obvious lack of high-level technical and management talents. See Figure 1. Current Yongkang hardware industry chain and processing technology analysis chart.
5. Product structure. In Yongkang, 73 products of 22 companies have passed the Great Wall Mark safety certification; 125 products of 20 companies have obtained foreign "CE", "GS" and "EMC" certification, gaining access to foreign markets. However, overall, Yongkang's hardware products are still "more than refined". Yongkang can produce 400,000 kinds of various types of hardware and machinery products. Most of the products have low added value and simple production processes, and they mainly occupy the low-end market; most of them have low added value and simple production processes. Hardware products are unbranded or miscellaneous products, with only a small number of "national" famous brand trademarks; the product life cycle is short, forming the so-called "wave economy" with Yongkang characteristics.
See Table 1. A brief analysis of the main product competitiveness of Yongkang (including Wuyi and Jinyun) hardware industry cluster.
6. Market structure. Yongkang Hardware's foreign trade export scale is large, with a foreign trade dependence rate of nearly 70% in 2008. However, it lacks high-level international technical cooperation, and foreign investment and joint ventures are rare. Product sales mainly rely on orders from foreign customers such as international expos, and OEM production is implemented, with only a small amount. The company has established branches (subsidiaries) overseas to sell its own brand products.
Domestic sales of products mainly rely on tangible professional markets (hardware malls in various places), and a small number of companies have established their own sales channels in the country. Although companies above designated size pay more attention to the online trading market, they have limited investment funds and insufficient technical strength. Currently, they still rely on publishing companies and Product information is the main focus.
7. Development method. Generally speaking, it is still dominated by extensive operations, mainly driven by cheap labor, land and other factors and investment. The salary level of enterprise operators is around 1,000-1,500 yuan, and the salary level of technical workers is around 2,000-3,000 yuan.
8. Location conditions. In recent years, the Yongwujin area has formed a convenient, efficient and radiating regional transportation network by focusing on the construction of high-grade highways and strengthening the construction of transportation and logistics nodes. At present, Yongkang can be closely connected to Hangzhou, Jinhua, Wenzhou, Quzhou and other cities through the Hangzhou-Jinhua-Quzhou and Jinli-Wenzhou Expressways. The Jinhua-Wenzhou Railway and Yongdong First Line and Yongdong Second Line pass through the city. The Taizhou-Jinjin Expressway was also opened to traffic at the end of 2008, spanning Taizhou. , Lishui, and Jinhua cities, passing through five counties (cities, districts) including Linhai, Jiaojiang, Xianju, Jinyun, and Yongkang, which greatly improves the transportation convenience in the Yongwu-Jin area.
