China's hardware tools should improve the structural grade

Over the past few decades, China's hardware tool industry has experienced significant growth, becoming one of the largest in the world. By the late 1980s, a core group of over 100 key enterprises and designated manufacturers had already established a solid foundation, producing more than 300 million high-speed steel cutting tools and over 1,000 measuring instruments annually. This number surged to the top globally, while Japan, a major competitor in the tool manufacturing sector, only reached a peak of 120 million high-speed steel cutters per year during the same period. However, as manufacturing industries advanced and upgraded, the demand for standard cutting tools declined. Production gradually dropped to around 90 million units. In response to this shift, many joint ventures began to develop independently from their parent companies, and some state-owned enterprises set up their own factories outside of traditional structures, giving rise to the first wave of private and township enterprises in the tool industry. These new enterprises were more agile and free from the historical burdens of state-owned firms. They had the potential to become a driving force for reform and development in the sector. Unfortunately, due to limitations in talent, technology, equipment, and management, most of them continued to follow the old model of expanding quantity rather than quality. Within just 10 years, total production soared to 1 billion units, but the product range remained focused on low-end items such as twist drills, construction bits, woodworking tools, and calipers. Although the volume is impressive, these products account for only about 30% of the domestic market value. Due to brand recognition and quality issues, they have not been widely adopted by formal manufacturing systems both domestically and internationally. Still, they have made a noticeable impact on China’s tool export market. A key issue lies in the industry’s strategic missteps, which led to a weak structure in the market. Another major error in the development strategy was the failure to adapt to the rapid technological changes and global shifts in manufacturing. The industry missed the opportunity to modernize its product lines and services effectively. As China’s hardware tool industry moves toward modernization, it must find its own path—starting with small, specialized steps rather than large-scale expansion. Large and medium-sized tool companies should avoid overestimating their capabilities. When pursuing technological innovation and improving competitiveness, they should focus on key areas and avoid spreading themselves too thin. Blind expansion can lead to inefficiency and wasted resources. By adopting a realistic and focused approach, these companies can leverage their strengths and contribute positively to the overall development of the industry, accelerating the pace of modernization in a sustainable way.
