In the European and American markets, the furniture hardware industry has been witnessing continuous evolution. The production of modern furniture hardware originated in Europe, with Germany (formerly West Germany) taking the lead. Since the 1960s, it has been a period of significant development for the global modern furniture industry and, consequently, the modern furniture hardware industry. During this time, the first automatic edge banding machine was produced, and Western European countries, represented by West Germany, developed and manufactured various furniture hardware connectors and decorative parts suitable for modern furniture structures, gradually forming a furniture hardware production industry and company groups.
From the 1970s to the 1980s, the modern furniture hardware industry entered a stage of further development and globalization. Furniture hardware manufacturing enterprises in Western Europe generally achieved automated production lines and established technology research institutions. They developed and produced a wide range of new furniture hardware products, with complete categories and a formed system. Meanwhile, the United States, Japan, and some Asian countries also started to produce furniture hardware, creating a worldwide modern furniture hardware industrial system. Furniture hardware has become an independent major category in hardware products and an important commodity in international trade.

Today, furniture manufacturers in Europe and America are constantly raising their demands, seeking furniture hardware solutions with refined designs and sophisticated functionalities to offer users maximum comfort. For example, chipboard screws have emerged as a popular choice in furniture assembly. Their unique shape, with a needle - like tip and rough, deep threads, allows them to bite into the board without wandering and cut cleanly through materials like particle board and MDF, which are prone to splintering. They usually come with a rust - resistant coating, ensuring the longevity of furniture. Their versatility, suitable for various furniture assembly projects from bookcases to workbenches, and different lengths and diameters available, make them a favorite among both hobbyists and professionals. Moreover, their cost - effectiveness in terms of labor savings and reduced callbacks also contributes to their wide adoption.

In the nail clipper market, innovation is also the key. In recent years, with the increasing emphasis on nail health and hygiene, as well as the development of the nail - care and manicure trends, especially in the United States and Europe where nail clippers are regarded as personal hygiene items and not shared, the demand for high - quality and innovative nail clippers has been on the rise.
Some unique nail clippers have gained popularity. For instance, the  - shaped nail clipper has made a splash in the market. With a stainless - steel construction, it features a sharp blade. The - shaped design of the blade head, with its inclined and curved shape, can accurately reach into the nail groove, making it easy to trim thick and ingrown nails without harming the surrounding skin. It also comes with a nail pick and a nail file, and the handle has a non - slip texture for a secure grip. This design not only solves the pain points of users with ingrown toenails but also meets the needs of general nail trimming and beautification. In the US market, especially on platforms like TikTok, it has sold a large number of units in a short time.
Another example is the electric nail clipper. Inspired by the need for safe nail - care for children, some brands have developed electric nail clippers with functions such as automatic nail trimming, polishing, and built - in shavings storage to prevent splashing. The blade is hidden in a curved groove, ensuring high safety. There is also a night light on the blade head, which is very convenient for use in low - light conditions. This type of electric nail clipper is especially suitable for children and the elderly with poor eyesight. Through innovative marketing strategies on social media platforms, it has also successfully broken into the market and received widespread attention.
As the European and American markets continue to demand more innovative and high - quality products, both the furniture hardware and nail clipper industries are expected to see more new products and technological advancements in the future.
