In recent years, the rapid development of high-end construction projects in China has significantly expanded the market for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building materials, including a wide range of architectural hardware products. This trend is particularly evident in the door and window hardware sector, where aluminum alloy profiles—especially those designed for energy efficiency and environmental protection—are becoming increasingly essential in both new constructions and the renovation of older buildings.
According to an official from the CIHS '09 (China International Hardware Show), this year's exhibition showcased a notable rise in the number of innovative and eco-friendly products compared to previous years. The aluminum alloy extrusion industry in China has experienced remarkable growth, establishing a solid industrial system. Companies have improved their product quality, technical standards, and after-sales services, making them well-suited to meet the demands of China’s housing market. On the international stage, Chinese manufacturers have also maintained a leading position.
Aluminum alloy profiles offer distinct advantages over traditional materials like aluminum-plastic or plastic-steel, including superior sealing properties, resistance to aging, high fire resistance, and a higher melting point. These features make them highly appealing to developers focused on high-end construction. As the industry continues to evolve, innovation becomes crucial for companies aiming to stay competitive. This shift toward advanced, sustainable solutions represents an unstoppable trend.
This year’s exhibition also highlighted a growing emphasis on design and aesthetics in architectural hardware. Manufacturers of locks, handles, hinges, and other components are not only focusing on functionality and sustainability but also on enhancing the visual appeal of their products. Improving product quality and design helps strengthen brand image and drive industry progress. In recent years, more Chinese companies have emerged as strong players in the global market, driven by increased consumer demand and a rising awareness of quality and service.
Since 2008, government initiatives aimed at boosting domestic demand, along with efforts to revitalize rural areas and rebuild after natural disasters, have created vast opportunities for the construction hardware sector. These factors have accelerated the upgrading of architectural hardware products in China. Many internationally competitive companies have joined this year’s exhibition, reflecting both the expansion of the domestic market and a shift in consumer behavior toward higher-quality products.
The annual China International Hardware Show (CIHS) is the largest and most influential hardware exhibition in the country. Jointly organized by the China Hardware Products Association and Cologne International Exhibition Co., Ltd., the 2009 event took place from September 16 to 18 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. A dedicated architectural hardware pavilion featured a wide range of products, including door and window hardware, plumbing fixtures, decorative elements, and fasteners.
“Only through continuous technological upgrades and faster independent innovation can companies remain competitive and maintain a strong brand reputation,†said the CIHS '09 organizer. This commitment to improvement and innovation is shaping the future of China’s architectural hardware industry.
