Since the first CIHS in 2001, we have always adhered to a market-oriented and technology-oriented exhibition theme and have committed ourselves to building a platform for promoting "trade, communication, and cooperation" in the industry. We continue to hold the exhibition scale, improve the quality, provide better service and constantly create greater value for exhibitors and visitors. After years of development, the CIHS acclaimed as "“the benchmark of the Chinese hardware industry”. Looking back at 20 years of development, nearly 500 enterprises have followed the CIHS for over 15 years, and over 1,000 have participated in the exhibition for over 5 years. The organizer has witnessed the doubling of turnover of these exhibitors, while the glorious journey of CIHS from its grassroots to Asia's most influential hardware trade fair has been witnessed by enterprises. Looking back with gratitude and staying true to its original intentions, CIHS will continue to actively lead and serve hardware enterprises and play a role in bridging the trade development between Asia and the global hardware industry.

An exhibitor that has participated in the CIHS for over 10 years said, "CIHS has continuously brought us orders from domestic and overseas buyers and has effectively helped us to expand our market and win new customers. In the future, we will continue to participate in the show to exhibit our latest products and provide best service.”

As an international exhibition that leads the global and Asian hardware markets, CIHS has deliberately decided to postpone the exhibition that was originally scheduled for August 2020 to October 2021 due to the global outbreak of COVID-19 this year. This decision is greatly understood and supported by the industry. Thus 95% of the originally registered exhibitors follow the organiser to participate at CIHS 2021. Although it is still 10 months away from next year's launch, more than 70% of the booths in all eight exhibition halls have been booked. We are also expecting more hardware businesses to join the CIHS platform and catch a ride on the global hardware trade market.
