Over the past decade, China's tool industry has achieved a leapfrog transformation from OEM manufacturing to developing its own brands. Before 2015, the industry mainly operated in a low-profit OEM mode, lacking its own brands. After 2015, driven by the 'Made in China 2025' strategy, leading enterprises such as Chervon Holdings and Juxing Technology successfully entered the high-end markets in Europe and America through technological innovation, brand acquisitions, and cross-border e-commerce channels. In 2024, the export value of tool hardware reached $27.4 billion, accounting for over 40% of the global market share, with a significant increase in the contribution rate of self-owned brands. The industry is accelerating its upgrade towards intelligence and high precision. Companies such as Hengli Hydraulic and Aidi Precision have achieved domestic substitution in the hydraulic tool segment, with some product technical indicators comparable to international first-class standards. In 2024, the market size of the hardware industry reached 2.59 trillion yuan, accounting for over 35% of the global market, ranking first for 15 consecutive years. The Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta have formed complete industrial clusters. However, the high-end market is still dominated by foreign brands, and the localization rate of key components such as core hydraulic valves and high-pressure seals is insufficient, restricting the industry's climb to the top of the value chain. Overall, the tool industry is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading, with brand power and technological innovation becoming core competitiveness.
