As one of the oldest and most influential professional exhibitions in China’s hardware industry, the China International Hardware Fair (CIHF)has been successfully held for 37 sessions and is highly praised by exhibitors and buyers at home and abroad. In 2025, CIHF will usher in the 38th grand event, which will be grandly held at the **National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai)** from March 24 to 26, 2025. This expo is hosted by the China Hardware, Electrical and Chemical Industry Business Association. It is unprecedented in scale, with an exhibition area of 170,000 square meters. It is expected to attract more than 3,000 exhibitors and more than 100,000 professional visitors to jointly create the first exhibition of the year and an industry feast for China’s hardware industry.
This expo will continue to uphold the development concept of “specialization, branding, and internationalization” to fully display the latest technological achievements and product trends in the global hardware industry, covering many fields such as hand tools, power tools, pneumatic tools, abrasives, welding equipment, construction hardware, locks and security, small electromechanical equipment, labor security products, intelligent manufacturing and automation equipment, etc. The exhibits are rich in variety and cutting-edge in technology, truly covering the entire industry chain from basic products to high-end equipment.
During the exhibition, a number of high-end forums, industry technical exchanges and new product launches will be held to invite industry experts, leading enterprise representatives, overseas purchasing groups, cross-border e-commerce platforms, etc. to participate in the event, focusing on the new trend of “digital intelligence upgrade and green development” in the hardware industry, and exploring how Chinese hardware companies can achieve high-quality development through technological innovation and brand building under the background of global supply chain reconstruction. The organizers also set up special sections such as “New Enterprise Exhibition Area”, “Intelligent Manufacturing Zone” and “International Brand Pavilion” to build an important platform for technical exchanges, economic and trade cooperation and resource docking for Chinese and foreign companies.
CIHF 2025 is not only an important window for the Chinese market, but also an excellent channel for the world hardware industry to observe and enter China. In recent years, with the country’s strong support for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry and the in-depth promotion of the “Belt and Road” strategy, China’s hardware industry is ushering in a new round of transformation, upgrading and international development. As the industry’s “vane” and “barometer”, CIHF will continue to promote Chinese hardware products to the world, and also provide global buyers with first-hand information on the development of China’s hardware industry.
In addition, to facilitate exhibitors and visitors to participate in the exhibition, this exhibition will continue to use the CIHF online digital platform to achieve two-way linkage online and offline, and provide booth navigation, product display, business matching, online live broadcast, supply and demand matching and other one-stop services, so that the exhibition will “never end”.
In short, the 38th China International Hardware Fair (CIHF 2025) is not only a grand event for display and trading, but also an important opportunity to promote the coordinated development and innovative breakthroughs of the hardware industry. Whether it is manufacturers, traders, or industry buyers and technicians, CIHF 2025should not be missed.
