The home appliance glass industry is a sub industry of the glass industry. With the application of glass in home appliances and the entry of various home appliances into thousands of households, the industry has gone through a development process from scratch and from small to large. The product types of home appliance glass have also developed from single tempered glass and coated glass to diversified structural products. The profit level of the home appliance glass appliance industry is greatly affected by upstream and downstream industries. The following will take glass doors as an example to illustrate. The main cost component of glass doors is glass, which accounts for more than 30% of their total cost. And China is the world’s largest producer of glass, with a wide variety of products, ranging from ordinary thickness to ultra-thin, ultra thick, as well as new varieties such as online coating, self-cleaning, and ultra white, with sufficient supply. Although various departments at all levels of the country are actively guiding the flat glass industry to eliminate outdated production capacity and control overall output, the domestic flat glass industry is still in the stage of overcapacity. In recent years, due to structural overcapacity leading to fierce industry competition, the overall price has shown a slow downward trend, which will have a positive impact on the profit level of the household glass industry. The home appliance glass industry is in the deep processing stage of the glass industry chain, with its core technology focused on deep processing and overall manufacturing processes. Often customized products, their technical level is mainly reflected in the overall product design, manufacturing, and integration. In the application process of end products, it is mainly reflected in various performance indicators such as insulation, thermal insulation, and emissivity. At present, the technology of glass deep processing and door manufacturing in the home appliance glass industry is relatively mature, and its production requires specific processes and technologies. New entrants to the industry must possess a certain level of technical expertise and corresponding technical talents. The manufacturing process of high-end new glass door products is complex. From production to management and then to research and development; Require relevant personnel to have a high level of technical proficiency. Therefore, there are high technological and talent barriers in the glass deep processing industry, especially in the field of new high-end products. At the same time, with the export of refrigerators, wine cabinets, and freezers that are matched with glass doors and compete with foreign products, the relevant indicators of glass doors are further in line with international standards, and the production level and product quality of the entire industry in China are constantly improving. Moreover, the market demand of the home appliance glass industry is greatly influenced by downstream home appliance industries. The expansion of the application field of home appliance glass products, the gradual shortening of home appliance replacement cycles, the release of consumer potential among Chinese residents, and the growth of consumption of wine cabinets and high-end refrigerators have provided favorable conditions for the development of the industry. On the other hand, the positive export data of home appliances has brought good news to the home appliance glass industry, and various favorable factors have gradually promoted the steady recovery and development of China’s home appliance industry exports.
