Recently, escalating military tensions among the United States, Israel, and Iran have significantly increased global geopolitical risks.


As a critical global energy transit corridor, the Strait of Hormuz has become a focal point of global market attention.


Energy price volatility, shipping risk premiums, and rising insurance costs are reshaping global trade structures.


Against this backdrop, the furniture and door hardware industry faces temporary cost and delivery challenges.

1. The Nature of Industry Risk: Volatility, Not Structural Decline
Rising oil prices may transmit cost pressure to steel production, electroplating, and chemical materials.


Increased freight rates and war-risk surcharges are placing pressure on export-oriented enterprises.


However, structurally speaking, door control and furniture hardware are essential durable components.


Global real estate, renovation, and commercial construction sectors continue to demonstrate long-term structural demand.


Therefore, current risks reflect short-term volatility rather than demand contraction.
