Process industries
Shelves as a result the industry can be traced back to the last century on behalf of八九十年. Germany and Hong Kong enterprises in the late eighties early nineties concentrated in Jiangsu to set up storage device companies, the main production warehouse shelves, due to see the prospects for China's development followed by the Swiss company after another in Shanghai to establish the shelf company, shelf production technology in the Since the domestic development. The nineties, with the large influx of foreign-funded enterprises of China's Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta region, not only stimulate the local economic development, but also brings new management concepts and management techniques. With the continuous expansion of production, enterprise warehouse standardization and efficiency of natural also referred to the agenda. Modernization and warehouse shelves is an important tool for improving efficiency, with the shelves of our local production of gradual improvement, in order to save costs and more foreign-funded enterprises chose the procurement of local shelves, shelves in our country have had a corresponding industry.

Industry conditions have
First, technology import, foreign brought shelf technology, reform and opening-up policy in mainland China continue to attract foreign businessmen to invest and build factories, capital expansion, bringing on the shelves of demand continue to grow. The first batch of training a batch of enterprises shelves shelves of local technicians and sales staff shelves.

Second is the industry's demand, China's accession to the WTO, all walks of life have to be in line with international standards. Such as: state regulations for the pharmaceutical industry GMP certification, is a warehouse management standardization, and must use the shelves, trays and other storage facilities to ensure the health, safety and improve efficiency. All walks of life in varying degrees, recognized that the third profit source of enterprises - Logistics.

The third is to promote technology in various sectors in the implementation of information technology need hardware facilities. Automated Warehouse is the rise of warehouse management software and shelves, pallets, forklifts and other equipment for the integrated use of logistics.

Industrial distribution and scale
After entering the 21st century, China's shelf the size of the industry become more and more shelf enterprises, only a province of Guangdong, 90's are not over 10, while in 2006, the province's enterprises jumped shelves Jump to 600-80 about the speed of development can be imagined. Rapid development of the industry showed the following characteristics:

produce from shelves nationwide proportion of view, the high degree of concentration. In the domestic market, about 40% of the shelf from Jiangsu, 20% of the shelf from Guangdong, 20 percent from the shelves in Shanghai and another 20% from Beijing, Tianjin and other industries all over the shelves and shelves of imports .

From the shelves scale enterprises, medium-sized enterprises accounted for the majority of trade. In the Guangdong market, not only on the shelves five companies on the scale, with its own production engineering, and improve sales, production, packaging and transport system. The shelves of the vast majority of companies are zero stocks trading company, received orders to cooperate from the processing plant for reprocessing. Shelves and shelves of the seller for the cooperation between the production side.
Technical point of view from the shelves. The production of single-shelf technology, although the geographical different shelf more or less the same production techniques, not much different.

Industry sales model
In the sales model point of view, all the shelves of trades are based on e-commerce sales as the main means, supplemented by mailing the company's sales model samples. A regional competition. Shelf industry as a result of a degree of concentration, therefore, the competitiveness of this industry there are some regional. In its intensive focus on the existence of a certain degree of regional inter-industry competition. However, the market demand to see the industry competition, is still in short supply, therefore, that competition was not obvious shelves, with the inter-industry there to help one another in nature.
 
In information transmission, the current market has not yet devoted to the shelves, storage products, books and magazines. For this status quo, each shelf companies, almost all through the network to promote his own company and products.

Logistics is the region's economic development a powerful driving force, as the coastal areas of Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places are developed with the flow developed. Over the past we are talking about the market, with major emphasis on the production, circulation has been ignored for. Through a big market to integrate a variety of resources to create a good, fast cash flow, business flow, to make the regional economy this chess game live. The logistics industry is to provide the background of this large flow of support, so the area is now the shelves Jiangzhe largest regional demand, the reasons for that is here and more foreign-invested enterprises, enterprises operating standardized, have certain economies of scale, it is necessary to warehouse management standardization and modernization, so the shelves, such as the demand for logistics facilities is very large.

With China's accession to the expiration of the transition, the world's leading logistics companies, logistics supporting enterprises have shelf industry in China. Although the shelf industry in China is still in its initial stage, but as the industry's presence abroad is bound to show some new characteristics.

First of all, China's technology industry, a single shelf, and there is no corresponding industry norms, the relative concentration of the regional industry, the demand for units only choose a different shelf suppliers the opportunity, rather than the existence of the opportunity to choose a different shelf, because nationwide shelf products industry are the same. While stationed abroad, the same industry, the inherent differences in shelf product quality. So competition will be very intense.

Second, with more foreign investment into the China market, is bound to lead to an increasing number of enterprises operating norms, enhance efficiency of logistics will be from the third source of profit to proceed, more and more people will gradually realize that the shelf the need for all business-to-shelf is a growing demand.

Third, the comprehensive opening up, demand is bound to bring scattered across the country have, so will inevitably lead to the shelf industry gradually from the current focus on the proliferation to the nation.

At present, the domestic industry for the shelf is not high degree of awareness, there are many places such as the Northeast and NT, do not understand the shelf, do not know the shelf, still in need do not know their own stage. However, with the continuous development of China's economy, people's understanding of the logistics deeper on the shelf will be increasing demand.
