Zhejiang Yongkang has the highest proportion of production and sales in 2021, reaching 32% because of its back-to-back door factory demand; Because of its advantages in traditional hardware industry, emerging enterprises, supply chain and so on, Zhongshan, Guangdong, takes the second place in production and sales, and the production and sales in Xiaolan area of Zhongshan account for 30%. In 2021, the sales rankings of major smart locks are: Yongkang, Zhongshan and Shenzhen. Let’s talk in detail about where the smart lock manufacturers are concentrated!
Where are the smart lock manufacturers concentrated?
Where are the manufacturers of smart locks concentrated? It is understood that smart locks are mainly concentrated in Yongkang, Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Foshan and other places. In terms of regional distribution, because the high-end product characteristics of smart locks are closely related to the consumption level of families and the income level of residents, the acceptance of this product is higher in East China, South China and coastal areas with relatively developed economies, and the market consumption accounts for a larger proportion. The main sales areas of smart door locks in China are concentrated in East China and South China, accounting for 41.7% and 16.6% respectively.
After years of development, China’s locks have developed from padlocks to more than 8,000 specifications in more than 100 series in 20 categories. It has developed from the traditional single-tongue lock and double-tongue lock to many types of locks such as magnetic card lock, IC card lock fingerprint lock and digital lock, and has expanded to the direction of electromechanical integration, intelligence and the combination of functionality and decoration, basically forming a high, medium and low-grade supporting product system. The industrial clusters of locks are mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shandong and Jiangsu, and a number of high-level large enterprises with both scale and output value have emerged.
Faced with the chaotic domestic market of many brands, how to identify a good lock and experience a good product at the right price? The penetration rate of smart locks in China is far below the international normal level, which is currently less than 5%. At present, China smart door lock brands have formed three main camps: lock professional brands, Internet brands and cross-border giants (Midea, Haier, etc.). Lock professional brands are still the backbone of the industry, while Internet brands mostly focus on apartment door locks. In terms of the distribution of smart lock industry, it is mainly concentrated in Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Jinhua, Foshan, Wenzhou, Hangzhou and other places. The industrial distribution of smart locks has changed the original pattern of four lock industry bases: Xiaolan in Zhongshan, Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Pujiang in Zhejiang and Yantai in Shandong, showing a new situation in the industry.
Don’t think that a big brand is a good fingerprint lock brand, which is a great misunderstanding. Many domestic electrical appliance brands and hardware brands only occupy the right to speak in the traditional field. However, they don’t have the core technology for smart locks, and most of them rely on OEM sharing solutions. Take the domestic electrical giants such as Gree of Haier Midea, but in fact they are mainly OEM, because they don’t have time to make up for the shortcomings in the long research and development process, and they can only use OEM to quickly harvest consumers with their own channel customers.
At present, the domestic smart lock brand belongs to Xiaomi in terms of experience and texture technology. The price is not expensive and the experience is very good. The whole series uses electronic lock bodies, which is a great advantage of Xiaomi. In the selection of smart locks, appearance is the first factor to attract consumers to choose. Secondly, the product functions of smart locks, such as safety function and convenience function, are one of the core factors that consumers pay attention to. After satisfying consumers’ important needs for appearance and function, price will be the main factor that urges consumers to make purchase choices.
