The 2025 China International Hardware Show (CIHS) ended successfully at the Shanghai New International Expo Center on October 12, but its impact continues, becoming a landmark event affecting the global hardware market at the end of the year.
This is not only an annual “industrial show” that attracts the attention of the world, but also a “highlight moment” for China’s hardware industry.
The exhibition area of this CIHS reaches 120,000 square meters, bringing together 2,977 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions around the world.
The comprehensive data of the exhibition continued to grow, attracting 77,016 professional buyers and visitors from 123 countries and regions, including 5,945 overseas buyers, fully demonstrating its strong influence as the world’s leading professional hardware exhibition.
The international situation this year is complex and changeable. Tariff issues and overseas trade resistance have brought challenges to the industry, and domestic companies are also facing development difficulties.
To this end, the organizers China Hardware Products Association and Koelnmesse GmbH in Germany have taken active measures to increase exhibition and investment promotion efforts, introduce high-quality exhibitors and buyers, hold effective activities, upgrade services, and seek new opportunities for all parties.
At the exhibition site, companies from 16 countries and regions displayed the latest products and technologies.
The booths of various hardware products such as tools and locks were crowded with professional visitors, and global buyers shuttled among them. Exhibitors generally reported that the visitors were highly matched and the consultation conversion efficiency exceeded expectations.
Hebei Longyao Qinglong Sword Nail Industry Co., Ltd. has gained a lot on site. It has formed purchase intentions for 7 containers and officially signed contracts for 3 containers.
Luannan County Zhengfeng Building Materials Co., Ltd. is also favored by British customers.
An Eastern European buyer purchased a variety of products through the exhibition and said that the products purchased in China are mainly sold to five Eastern European countries.
Only the “China Hardware Brands Overseas Conference and Global Procurement and Supply Resources Accurate Matchmaking Conference” reached an amount of over 80 million US dollars on site, received more than 200 sample orders, more than 30 companies received invitations for on-site inspections from buyers, and signed 15 regional agency agreements.
Domestic well-known brands such as Superstar and Wendeng Weili have appeared on stage, demonstrating the hard power of “Made in China”.
Weihai Weili Yujie Tools Co., Ltd., Zhongshan Qinglian, Zhangjiagang Zhongtianda Tools Co., Ltd. and other companies have achieved fruitful results at the exhibition.
The legendary master series launched by Cadiz attracted attention, and the live broadcast room of Deschman’s official flagship store’s Douyin platform set a new record in the industry.
There was a long queue at the booth reservation office. The booth for next year has been booked, and the exhibition data continues to exceed previous years.
International exhibitors KUKKO Werkzeugfabrik, DIAGER, Avron, etc. also actively participated, expanding business contacts and exploring cooperation opportunities through the exhibition.
More than 30 special activities were also held during the exhibition, such as the “Saisa Innovation and Quality Products” evaluation and recommendation activities, the “Golden Gou” Sixth China Lock Technology Equipment Design Competition, etc., injecting new momentum for high-quality development into the industry.
After more than 20 years of development, the China International Hardware Show has become a world-renowned brand exhibition, attracting many international purchasing groups.
This grand event goes beyond the single dimension of “exhibition”. It is the “deterministic force” that China’s hardware industry has injected into the global market, demonstrating the innovative strength and industrial resilience of Made in China.
