今年8月18日闭幕的美国芝加哥五金展为2000年以后的产品市场提供了不少值得注意的信息。根据主办单位美国五金制造商协会(AHMA)的材料,近两年美国家庭修缮(home improvement)产业持续发展,1998年该行业的增长率为9％,市场零售额达到1716亿美元,由于美国主要工业部门发展势头很好,零售业不断扩大,电子商务日趋流行,再加上房屋修缮及更新市场持续增长,因此,未来数年家庭修缮产品产业仍将十分看好。
The Chicago Hardware Show that ended on August 18 this year provided a lot of noteworthy information for the product market after 2000. According to the organizer of the American Hardware Manufacturers Association (AHMA), the US home improvement industry has continued to develop in the past two years. In 1998, the growth rate of the industry was 9%, and the market retail sales reached US$171.6 billion, mainly due to the United States. The industrial sector enjoys a good momentum of development. The retail industry continues to expand, and e-commerce is becoming increasingly popular. Together with the continuous improvement in the housing repair and renewal markets, the home improvement industry will continue to be very optimistic in the coming few years.
